SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

Glad we could brighten your night!!! I know what time you were peeking!! LOL. What was your son doing up at that time of night?

LOL! We did have a helluva time. And, somehow, managed to actually do a lot of reading as well. :D

And ... I think we might'a broken a GR record for most posts created within a single thread each day/night we were reading. LOL! I just can't shut up and when I have someone "locked" to their computer with me ... well, hell, you're just asking for it then. God help ya! hehe Nah, that was one of the best parts of the whole thing - chatting with Sandra. :D Reading alone now just isn't as much fun as it used to be. I'm going to tell Jess and Kelley Anne they've ruined it for me from now on. LOL!

LOL.

I read it AFTER...in fact, not long before I posted. At the time of my post, he had already gone to bed...

I do love summer vacation though cause I can stay up late (r)! As don't have to wake anyone for school in the morning!

A likely story Judithe. LOL.

Sure we shouldn't have a little whip action happening? I'm sure I could get Steph to break it out. *slinks off with manical laughter*

As long as it's cracking in YOUR direction!!!! lol!

Heh! What would be the fun in that?

It all depends on your point of view (or...whipholder has the most fun, and sideliners can just lean back and snicker at others' comeuppance!)(how's that for an old-fashioned word!!!)

It's a good one, and so descriptive. LOL.

LMAO!!! Don't go all BDSM on us now guys.

I AM reading Desire Unchained at the moment...nuff said!

OMG! You are TOO much! And yeah, now I can understand a bit better where all that was coming from.

Me too. I'm a prude. I am not a fan of the BDSM. I'm only a third or so through the book, so maybe? I will end up being happier with it later...

Oh, me too. Totally. So not looking forward to the 6:30am alarm 5 days a week. Ugh.

For some reason, the start of both these books was slow, but quite enjoyed them from a later point! BDSM in 2 wasn't super-hard core, and pretty much relevant to the story, so didn't bother me so much.

I've become a reader that will read EVERYTHING that I come upon in English (though more is available so I can be more selective in what I buy) That said, the DaVinci Code is one book I still haven't managed to read through!

Judithe, DaVinci Code was interesting, (I did do fine arts at school, and I did know about the nasty Opus Dei people before the book, LOL) but certainly not worth the hype when it came out.

I thought it was more clever at linking so much outlandish stuff, than being a very good book. You could almost see the movie script as you read the book.

I thought it seemed like a good idea, but really couldn't get into it...one of the few books I've just set down and said, "Enough." If I didn't have so many other interesting things to read, I might have stuck with it longer...oh well...save it for a slow month!

Great idea! I always thought that a list like that was a must!

Suggestion: I entered a couple of books earlier and noticed that there isn't a "Mystery" category in the genre section. How about adding one? I entered it in the "Other" tab, but still. It's a big category, or doesn't anyone read mysteries anymore?

Apart from that, great job on what's been done so far! :)

Thenia, the focus of the group is Paranormal & Urban Fantasy.

Thanks for adding books to the database. We don't mind the odd mystery book being added, as I'm sure we've all read Mysteries, but we want as many PNR & UF books added first as we can get.

The point of the database is to assist all of us in choosing books for challenges when we can't find the right book. Such as for the "I Spy" challenge or the "Football" challenge at RRRC.

I was just adding books and noticed one thing we might want to change. In challenges, we are usually allowed to ignore "a, an, the" in titles. The DB states about putting "the" at the end of the title. I think we should do that for "a/an" as well...

What do you think?

Good idea Judithe!

Definitely. I'll pop over and fix it, if Just Mad hasn't already. :)

ETA: All done.

Sorry I didn't have time, but I was coming back to it!

But you beat me to it. LOL.

No worries, figured one of us would get 'er done. :)

I'd a done it...but not sure how to change the form! Thanks for being such speedy whizzes!

NP! :)

I just posted this over in RRRC:

I don't know how reliable this is but Shelfari has a way of searching books by character name, e.g. Michael http://www.shelfari.com/characters/michael

And just replace the name in the address to find other characters.

You are my new HERO!! Brilliant!! I bow to the master....ummm yeah can't say enough. I have added one book so far. Will check all my books from now on. YAY.

Thanks for the link, Ames. That'll come in handy for many, I'm sure.

And, thanks to everyone who has and continues to add to our database here @ SOS. :D

Too COOL!! Thanks, Ames!!!

This is not an easy one. Has it been done before? What number won? I couldnt' see the spread sheets on AOL, have to try something else.

Lindy, sorry but I'm a little confused by your post. This thread is about a database of books with information about author, setting, main characters, type of paranormal, etc in the story. Ames added a link to search another database for names (which is really cool!)

Hope you can get to see the spreadsheets/contest you're looking for!

i think i posted something to another group instead of this one, i dont'have a spreadsheet nowr know how to use one

No prob!
