Book 35 was just over 400 pages, so I crossed off "harlequin".
Sara ♥ wrote: "Arrrghhh!! I just finished a book and TOTALLY hit the "scpl" shelf, which I chose to cross off LESS THAN A WEEK AGO from a book I'd read over 400 pages! How incredibly frustrating!!!"That totally sucks! What does "scpl" even mean? I couldn't figure it out.

Hey Angela - any chance at the end of this challenge we can get a full ranked list rather than the top 3? I'd love to see culmination of everyone's hard work. :) Thanks!
I've got an issue.... I just finished listening to an audiobook, and was looking at over versions of the book to get an equivalent page number... The primary version of the book, the hardcover, is EXACTLY 400 pages. The trade paperback is 392, and the mass market paperback is 448. The audiobook DOES have an interview with the author at the end, which I listened to... So I don't know... do I get the extra shelf or not?PS - Is this challenge over in a week?
All right.... Finally getting around to updating...248 shelves
41 books
I went ahead and counted that book as 400 pages, and crossed off "essays"...
26 books241 shelves
400+ book, marked off "not-available-yet"
This will be my last book for this challenge:43 Books
332 Shelves
Book over 600 pages crossed off: all, art, bookcrossing
Cindy I am not sure I understand your question...there is a list that has the number of shelves and books for all players. Could you explain further? Thanks!
These are the new shelves added to Shelf-A-Thon 3:ADDED:2010, don-t-own, e-book, m-m, unfiled, books-we-own, read-in-2010, gay, to-purchase, we-own, my-personal-library, not-available-yet, couldn-t-finish, non-fic, personal-collection, a-great-list-of-top-books-to-read, coming-of-age, and amazon-wishlist, love
Let me know if you hit any of these shelves and how many times. You cannot count them if you crossed them off because of a book that you read that was over a certain amount of pages...
Also: Please post the self you hit the most and how many times you hit this shelf...
This will determine something to come in Shelf-A-Thon 4!!! So please post!
I will have the new list out by tomorrow for the "new" shelves!
Thanks all who have participated and you still have today and tomorrow to post shelves :)

Angela- sorry about being so unclear. At the end of the last round in January, you only posted the top 3 winners -- I never got to see where I ended up in relation to other people. I was hoping for a full list of all players and their totals at the end of the round, just like the periodic updates we've had. Does that make sense?
