MobileRead Book Challenges discussion

Once again this year, my goal will be to read 12 books, because the publishing industry considers those who buy 12 books per year to be "avid readers."

FIRST!!!

Missed it by that much. :P

Hooray for avid readers!

I'm actually not an avid reader because I don't buy 12 books a year. This year I bought 4 books. Of course I read 90+. Have you hugged your library today?

Oh, and thanks for the categories for the 2017 reading challenge GA. I never would have read the Stephen Brunt or Jim Hopson books I did. I feel more Canadian now.

That was quick, DP!

Homey, I believe that every Canadian should read at least one book about the CFL every year. There are some eBooks that are only $2.99.

Today all of my bookshelves are showing 0 on the left column although the books are showing properly. Anyone else having that problem?

I saw that too. It seemed to fix itself after a bit .

It's okay for me, but I did see a notification message from GR that some people are experiencing the problem, and they are working on it. No data has been lost. apparently.

All my tags seemed in order later. Clicking on the bookshelf did show the correct books even when they showed zero on the left.

In the past, I have always received an email when someone posted on my threads. But not this time, Homie and Orlok!

We were stealth posting ;)

Well, the mystery-liker in me would think there is some nefarious plot in the missing numbers and those involved didn't want GA to get any news in a timely manner.

I hear a knock at the door...

It's happened again! I did not receive an email telling me that you two had posted. So I have checked the "Notify me" button below.

And I have good news! I am pleased to say that my page is now allowing me to enter the date and place of purchase.

Strange fix for the problem, but whatever works :)

And today I received the email notifying me that you had posted, Orlok, so it looks like I'm good to go!
