Shelf-A-Thon 7 Reporting
Returning shelvers:If you hit these shelves in Shelf-a-Thon 6, you may cross off one shelf in round 7 for each shelf you hit. Note: you must have actually touched the shelf by a book you read, not have crossed it off by having a GR author or large book read. These are books that were on the list in round 6, but are gone for round 7.
adult-books, books-to-check-out, childhood-books, crafts, fantasy-scifi, fantasy-sf, graphicnovels, manga-manhwa, on-my-bookshelf, pdf, read-2007, romance-erotica-pnr-to-read, sci-fi-and-fantasy, traded
As this is a new rule for me I just want to make sure I have this right. I actually touched the following shelves from the list:adult-books
childhood-books
fantasy-sf
graphicnovels
manga-manhwa
read-2007
sci-fi-and-fantasy
So does that mean I can choose seven shelves to "hit" right from the start?
Thanks
If my thinking above is correct:For the 7 shelves I previously hit I marked off:
christian
christian-fiction
christianity
economics
not-at-library
religious
western
and that brings my total books/shelves:
4 BOOKS
131 SHELVES
6 Books107 Shelves
6 deleted shelves hit last time, so crossed off:
dtbooks
amazon-wishlist
manga
textbooks
not-owned
anthropology

I think you get to cross off another shelf. If your book had 800+ pages, you get a shelf for each 100 marker over 400. So 400+, 500+, 600+, 700+, and 800+. So a 865 page book would cross off 5 shelves. Does that make sense? It goes all the way up to 1000+.

I can't tell how many Sandy's are posting because I thought I had it under control but then my numbers kept going up and down so if you are a Sandy and I screwed up your numbers we need to find a better way of tracking your posts.
