Shelf-a-Thon 13 Reporting
Start posting those stats starting August 1st - good luck!
Are these all the shelves? There don't seem to be very many
3 shelves0 books
Deleted shelves I touched: autobiography, supernatural, youngadult
my cross offs - erotica, mm, m-m
Supernatural is on both lists, to be added & removed?? Also, I think there are about 2 too many shelves. I could not fit them on my spreadsheet set up for 350 shelves. Please help! I'm confused!!
Supernatural is on both of the above lists... was that intentional? :)
Hi guys! I am traveling and I don't have my original spreadsheet. I am going to pull the added/removed shelves until I can confirm everything tomorrow night.Think - I just recounted the shelves twice and I am getting 350 shelves. Again, I will look into it tomorrow but those should be right.
Think - I have 350 shelves - I'm not sure why you are having problems.
Rebecca wrote: "Think - I have 350 shelves - I'm not sure why you are having problems."Ok. I will recheck. Probably me. LoL. So, is supernatural on or off the list?
when do we make our repoets? after every book we read or every week
Think, supernatural is off the list. It was a bad copy and paste on my part.
Adele, you can post as often as you would like. I personally post after a few books.

We started school, and I homeschool, so I feel like all I'm reading are book for that, and they are soooo slow. Ugh!
Is it too late to join Shelf-A-Thon 13? I have just recently gotten back online and would love to join in if it's not.
Suzanne, it's not too late - you can count any book you've read since August 1st.
Mary, welcome! The nice thing about this challenge is that you set your pace.
