The formatting is terrible, but I just copied & pasted this from the page - the genres are toward the top on the right rather than the bottom as is more common.

I think one of the mods will have to help with this. GR has me using the new Beta format...and all I see for MPGs are
"Nonfiction
Theatre
Leadership"

I see it as plays>theatre in the old format

Ok...got the help to get out of Beta mode...and it's verified now.

Another problem with the new mode! If they totally switch to it, it could wreak havoc with groups like ours.

So, if I'm reading the Rules correctly, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two could be used even though it's shelved as Childrens since on the AR reader site it is IL: MG+ - BL: 3.9 - AR Pts: 6.0?

Mod Note:
That is correct.

Could I have the genre of "Drama" noted for The Lovely Bones? It is near enough to the bottom that I fear it could drop off before I have a chance to read it! Thanks!!

Please verify MPG Drama for The Kite Runner and My Sister's Keeper - not too worried about it falling off the latter, but it's at the bottom for the first.
