Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments I can’t get my name to go in the tab though. It’s not pulling anything down.


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments It's taking me to Westeros SS

Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments I’ve marked the book I’m reading under “Homesick” but it also works for childhood friends. Does anyone have a book that will work for the other or a suggestion on which one would be easier to find? Thoughts?

Hey all! So sorry about the spreadsheet mistake. The link above should take you to the right SS now. It's my first time running a challenge so I'm still learning how to do things right - if there are any other issues please let me know!


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments The SS for Middle Earth isn’t working on my end…. I can’t make any edits to it.


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments Nevermind, I had to get on my computer. For some reason it wouldn't work from my phone.


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments So I'm going to keep my book under Homesick but if someone has one that will work for that, this book also works for Childhood Friends and I made a comment. Just FYI.

Hello teams! This is just a reminder that Week 1 is over and we have moved to Week 2: Call to Adventure. You have a whole new set of tasks that will be available until the end of the week (Jan 12).

In case you need it, the weekly schedule (and scores) for this challenge are here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments Books between 50-99 pages are suppose to be .5 points but the formula is calculating.25 for my book that is 86. It’s actually 125 pages but the default has 86 so I guess that’s what I have to go with. Anyway, it’s not calculating correctly.

I don't think it goes on the spreadsheet anyways since it will only count as page points instead of for a specific task since it's under 100 pages.

Hi all! Some folks requested a banked tab on the SS, so I've gone ahead and added that in. Please let me know if there are any issues with it!


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments What is the deadline to post tomorrow? Is there clock countdown?


message 23: by Shan ~A~ (new)

Shan ~A~ | 715 comments I changed the book for 12. "Invitation" in text (pg/% and quote) to one of my books, since the one that was there was page points only.

Hi Shannon! There is no clock countdown for any of the weeks. Post by midnight your time and you're good. Also, one of your books from last week is on hold because the link you posted doesn't actually show a review. I left you a note on the review thread but I'm not sure if you saw it. No worries tho! If you could just post a new link to the review I'll add those points in for you


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments I have no idea what happened to my review. I know I wrote one. Not only do I remember writing but there was a link to it. Anyway, I have rewritten it so now it's there.

I also had a question. How do we mark the BOTM on the SS so we get the triple points? Right now it's only doubling the points for the BR.

I usually mark it as a BR and then on the review thread just say BOTM instead of BR with the link.


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments Thanks!

I think I may have figured out what happened to my review. I think it had something to do with my Kindle being linked to GR. I just noticed the book I finished last night I wrote a review immediately. I always try to do that while it's fresh on my mind. Anyway, I had written a review last night after I finished the audiobook. I decided I wanted to read the letter in the Epilogue and so it asked for a review at the end and rating. I wrote a couple of sentences. I noticed when I went in to post that book it had overwritten my original lengthy review with the basic one.

On Ghosted, I couldn't get my highlights to show up so I went back in and was looking at them. I'm sure my Kindle probably asked for a rating when I got to the end of looking at my highlights and I just gave a rating and went on. That's the only thing I can think of but I know the review was there when I posted on the Review Thread because I had the link. Anyway, thought I would pass along not to rate something from your Kindle if you have already posted a review. Lessoned learned for me.

Hi team, sorry I haven't been around, I was away for the first two weeks of January and am back now. I have been reading, just need to catch up on my reviews and buddy read threads so I can post my books.

I was wondering about you and I was literally just looking at your profile to see if you had read anything lately ;-D I wouldn't stalk anyone...lol The timing is crazy on that though. I hope you've been reading good books!

That is funny, what timing. Mostly good and a couple mid, which is usually how it goes for me lol.

message 35: by Ashlyn (new)

Ashlyn | 5987 comments Shannon are you posting your book tonight for Title starts and ends with a letter in CROSSING? If not, I have a book that works for it.


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments Yes, I can see if it works somewhere else if you need me to.


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments It works for Debut novel so I moved it.

You and Shan A both posted a ton in one go, omg! I'm gonna have fun doing scores tomorrow


Shannon The Co-Captain | 1205 comments On week 9, my Liz Tomforde book Caught Up is under ‘MC gets first place in something’ will also work for ‘Features a prize’. If someone needs me to move it, just let me know. I tried to pick the one I thought would be harder to find but just thought I would mention it. I hope everyone is reading good books. I had some good ones lately and I was due 😂
