My husband and I had a great time brainstorming this set of tasks, thinking of all the games we've loved to play.

message 32: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (ladybugh) | 286 comments Can I get approval for Frankie's Letter - there aren't many reviews to provide the genre tag. However, it does indicate in the main description that it is a spy thriller set in WWI.

Sorry, no - the task requires that the genre appear on the main page. I don't assign the genres!

Melanie (ladybugh) | 286 comments Ok thanks. Would Sweet Tooth work?

Dee (austhokie) | 8947 comments Wolfsangel - war - since only 2 ppl have it shelved that way

Dee wrote: "Wolfsangel - war - since only 2 ppl have it shelved that way"

I'm guessing you'll be fine on this, because most of the other shelvings are not shelves that convert into genres. But, no need to worry now - you've got it locked in!


message 38: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 8947 comments i'm like paranoid though, after losing a book that 500+ ppl had shelved as sci-fi and not locking it in because I figured it was safe...lol

Saskya  (sasmag) Can I get Catch-22 approved ?

Saskya wrote: "Can I get Catch-22 approved ?"

yes. In future, please include a link when you have a question about a specific book in any of the help threads - makes it much easier to check the book, than having to do a new search for it.


message 41: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 8947 comments probably no, but would you accept history>world war II for Blackout - can't hurt to ask right?

Doesn't hurt to ask but I'm afraid the answer is no.
It's really a good book, though, so I hope you find somewhere to put it.


message 43: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 8947 comments I had it claimed as a 20 pointer but was doing some juggling - figured it was worth a try since war was ended fed in World War II ;)
