The TBR for the books I don't own is pretty reasonable at 430 books (Want to Read shelf). But then there's the TBR for physical books I own which is sitting at 2037 (own-to-read) and the TBR for eBooks I own sitting at 821 (ebook-to-read).

I'm making myself feel better by splitting it into 3 TBRs so it doesn't look as bad."


I actually do almost the same, though mine is split into tbr (which is physical and ebook) and audio-tbr.

The standard GR one is what I use to register interest in something as I'm browsing GR, and I don't care what the number on there is. I just want to keep the books I already own and haven't read yet under control 😆

Preeti (preetisunaina) | 990 comments Hi. Any ideas what one should do with an arc that doesn't have a page count listed anywhere?
The Guilty Girl by Ruth Harrow
This is the book I am talking about. There is no page count listed here and I couldn't find it on Amazon or Worldcat or on the publisher page. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to look for you as well and I can't seem to find anything either likely because it is so new!

Thanks, Cecily! I think I will just wait a while. I am sure it will get updated soon and I will read it after that happens. Luckily, I don't have to read it in a great big hurry.

Cecily Black | 1805 comments I just spent all day in front of my laptop reorganizing my tbr thanks to this chat. Now I am in the middle of a giant project. haha
My TBR was at almost 9000 I have it down to 7780ish so far... Smh

We decided not to run it as this challenge. We don't have a set time for when the challenges run and they don't run every year so it's having a break.

Oh no! Get on the reserve list and we'll see what changes between now and the start - there are often a couple of no shows or life changes that move people's targets.

Kamaria (bonniegealach) | 63 comments Am I not in the Games? I got 4 friends who added me within the same 4 hours, it's probably from the Districts, because I don't usually get friend requests that often.
But, I didn't get any mail and I don't know which District I am :o

Never mind, I got so blindsided that I wanted to be in a District, I didn't bother to check that I'm one of the... Capitol... This will haunt me.

The 2nd tab has all the team information so you can figure it out. Most of the requests are probably your team captains getting ready for launch.

Please double check the link to your GR account as we have multiple entries from people with the same name and we want you to end up in the right district.

Most districts are not as speedy as District 8 so please all be patient as your captains get things up and running - you'll all be chatting with plenty of time before 15th May when we start.

I've used an app called Bookmobile. They give you a URL on the app on your phone. Then you type that into a browser window on your computer. You can then select the files to upload. This may work for you as an alternate.

It's whenever the captains are ready for their masses to gather.

There are different time zones, work schedules, and general life things that all impact this.

It just worked out a few districts were ready today.

No team is behind and everything will likely be open over the next few days. The game doesn't start for 2 weeks. It'll all be okay

But, we LOVE the excitement :)

They seem sweaty and I feel like I can smell them through my computer.

But they are certainly . . .something


message 227: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12992 comments Yeah, sweaty is pretty much what I was thinking too. Still, at least it makes a statement!
