You have hit the spot where there is nothing more frustrating then the one shelf per one book add ;op
154 shelves8 books
I'm slowly making progress :0)
Exactly Slayermel, all that great work & nothing to show for it :)
Quandry,I only am listing books that add shelves to this list, do we also list books that don't add shelves that we have read?
Thanks

But either way is fine, because when it comes down to it the only totals that really matter for the challenge are the shelves.
185 shelves/12 books. (did a recount after I got the spreadsheet)

63 books. What are shelfs? I'm kind of new here.
198 shelves 22 books
Milly the shelves that we are referring to are listed under the thread Shelf a Thon Round 2. The rules of the challenge are posted there as well.
15 books. 210 shelves. This challenge is diabolical. A pox on the person that invented the "-" shelf, and others of that ilk.
I was so glad when I hit the "-" shelf by accidentI would love to know why someone came up with that, and why others use it as well, as there are quite a lot of books on those types of shelves. :0)

If you go under the link of popular shelves it is there and you can click on it to see the list.
Under find book the browse tab. on the right you will see a list called Genre. at the bottom is a link that says "more popular shelves"The "-" shelf is listed on page 2
Hope that helps
One of the books I recently read had the "-" shelf, but it must have been on a page after 5 :( Oh well, I hit it last time so hopefully I will hit it again. My brother's girlfriend has a baby due soon, so I will pick up some books and read them first to get some of those children shelves taken care of :)
The other way to do it is to type into your browser goodreads.com/shelf/show/ and then follow it with the name of the shelf you want.
You can also specifically search out a shelf using the "search by shelf name" search box here:http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/top_sh...
The shelf I'm wondering about is "a." Someone must have had a bunch of books shelved as "a" and then removed them because now there are only 272 books on that shelf and only five of the 272 have been shelved more than once. Makes it difficult to touch that shelf!

Yeah I thought that was weird when I put the list together. It was not on there last time around. Quick, someone make an 'a' shelf!!

I have a question.I have been reading quite a bit of science fiction and have gotten all the shelves except "science fiction" without the hyphen. When I search for this shelf it brings up "science-fiction" I am unable to get it to do science fiction without the hyphen. Could it be that there are none of these shelves and the hyphen is automatically added, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

I'm not sure which shelf you are talking about, Roseann. Is it "sciencefiction" or "science-fiction"? Spaces aren't allowed in the shelf names, so even when you create a shelf with a space, the system automatically adds a hyphen for you in that space. So in the two shelves I listed, the first one has no space between the words, and the second one has a hyphen.

Weird, I guess my computer "corrected" the one that was sciencefiction by separating it into two words. Guess I've got another shelf somewhere then.
1. the number of books you've read; and
