I will go and mark these as wishlist on the shelf but please, if you've read some of these and I know we have, please post a review. Thanks
I have posted reviews for Willard and His Bowling Trophy and Broad and Alien is the World but they don't appear as links in the list. What did I do wrong? I also have a brief review for Fall on Your Knees but I am sure there are better ones.
Mod
Thanks for reposting. I found them and now have them linked. Its hard to say why they didn't save. It's sometimes a mystery.
Mod
Can you post Fall on your knees. I can't find that one." Just post it even if it is weak. It will be all right. It will make a link and I will take it off the wishlist because it does not belong there.

I got 86 after doing it myself to see the proportion of WLs I still hadn't read, and Book said I could update the official spreadsheet with my list, which I did.
So, in case I flubbed up, I compared mine to yours and found it was mostly the same but with a few differences:
- I missed 1 book on my list that you caught (Don't Move)
- I can now remove books with reviews from the past few days (Eugene Onegin, Broad and Alien is the World, Fall on your knees, Willard and his bowling trophies.
-H(A)PPY technically qualifies but I didn't count it since it will be Jan. botm
-I found some books on your list that do have reviews, because either it has another name in the index, it wasn't updated with a hyperlink in the index, or is missing from the index. These one are:
- Terug naar Oegstgeest is saved in the index as "Back to Oegstgeest" and the thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
-Roderick Random thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
-Bras Cubas is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
-Belle du Seigneur is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... (not added to index for some reason?)
After checking both the index and the discussion search by title this should be the new WL now? (ones only on my list have a lil parentheses comment beside them). There are 81 total on this list.

If anyone sees any errors, let me know. And if the mods are fine with me tweaking the spreadsheet WL again, I can do that with the few changes here.
Mod
I will add yours to my list and mark them in the bookshelf. Thanks. We are close.
Also have read a bunch still on the list pre-joining the group and have not reviewed. I will try to get to that slowly as I have time.

Mod
Is there a review for Doctor Zhivago? I didn't find one when I looked. (This is Kristel).

There isn't, and it is on my original list, think I may have accidentally deleted it in copy and pasting. Good catch! I'll add it back in the list above, which brings the list to 81.
Mod
I have only 78 and you have 81 but I can't find what is making the difference.

yeah, so what I found is that mine has:
-Southern Seas (in index-no reviews that I could find),
- Z. (in index- no reviews)
-and you have 14. listed twice (for Dog Years, and Don't move) which would bring your list up to 79, so Z. and Southern Seas should be the only missing 2.
I think we've figured it out now?

I now have 82.

I did not find any reviews of Happy by Nicola Barker. Does that count as a wish list?
Yes - the reviews for the Trials of P and S are under Travels of. In English, it goes under both titles

It won't be necessary as it is our January BOTM so we chose not to include it.
Thanks for the list! Can I swap my #2? I can't find Kosmac anywhere.
Mod
Can I please have a standard list! Thanks!

I am terribly sorry for your loss, KristelI remember he was unwell and had surgeries, tumour in the brain, no?
I am so sorry he has passed on.. and I'm glad that you are involved with the reading communities. Reading was about the only comfort I had during my dark days.
It really is lovely to be able to say hello to you and other old friends without the fog in my head. I look forward to talking and sharing books and any other things we want to talk about :-)
Isn't there a thread for that? Love and hugs, Kristel

You are right, he had brain tumor. A very aggressive one. He tired chemo, radiation, 2 surgeries and the last one he had radiation tiles implanted in the brain. It was so very, very sad.

I am so sorry that you had such depression, so hard to climb out depression. Glad you are doing better and hope you never have to go through that again.
December was busy and I completely missed this topic. Could I get a standard randomized list please?

Done :)
Done :)
You will not get any points for generating a list however the first book you read and review from your list will gain you 5 points after that all books are worth 2 points except Wish List Books which give you 3 points.
When claiming points for a wish list book please link to your review.
When requesting a list you can choose the standard format which will include at least 1 wish list book or you can choose all wish lists books or no wish list books.
We have now added the books from the non English versions of the list so if you would like to include another language please specify when requesting your list we have a choice of Norwegian, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portugese, Romanian, Danish and Russian. You will be allocated 1 book from your chosen language list and this will be counted as a Wish List Book.
Free Swaps
You can swap a book you have already read and reviewed for the group please add link to your review.
You can swap a book not available in a language you can read - please note if you request books from another language in your list the assumption will be you can read that language and you will not be able to swap that book.
If a book on your list becomes a group read during the year you can swap this.
Each book you read will generate you a new book. Reading a Wish List/Non English book will generate you another Wish List/Non English book.
To sign up to have a listed generated please reply to this topic. Lists will all be published...date TBC
Happy reading.
