Christine wrote: "Looks like Sandra voted Sharp Objects (Gillian Flynn, I presume) for you, Lisa."

Christine thanks! I was a bit confused. I do not see her list of books to vote on, so I am assuming she hasn't made a list yet. Thanks for the help very much.

Janet wrote: "Patricia's March selections that hopefully have copied over!!

Janet this is a list of books to vote on by a member named Patricia?? Is this correct? Thanks in advance

Yes, Lisa. Was placed in wrong thread, so I copied her list over. Have a look through Patricia's selections and place your votes as usual.

Lisa wrote: "Janet wrote: "Patricia's March selections that hopefully have copied over!!

Yes, Janet...so this list is from Patricia, I assume.

Yes, Sue. That's correct. I've just edited the message so it's clear to all.

Janet wrote: "Yes, Lisa. Was placed in wrong thread, so I copied her list over. Have a look through Patricia's selections and place your votes as usual."

Janet thanks. Of course I will vote for her now. I did she this post on the other thread but not before I had wrote this to you. Sorry lol

No worries! :0))

Please explain how to vote. Do I just hit reply?

Patricia wrote: "Please explain how to vote. Do I just hit reply?"

Here's what I typed up for Freda the other day:

Go through your To Be Read books and pick 5-10 of them that you'd like to read during the following month, in this case, March. Post that list (better to use a link or book cover) in a message here:
/topic/show/...

While you're in that thread, look at the lists from the other participants and pick a book for each person. I find it easier to list them on a piece of paper and write down the book I select for them. Then type in your votes, all in one message, in this thread:
/topic/show/...

After giving people a chance to review your list and post their votes, go back to the second thread and look at everyone's votes to find what they voted for you. This will take some time so that everyone gets to vote, so you just regularly check. Then you go back to the first thread above and EDIT your one post to show who voted for which book. Again, easier to make notes on paper first.

As new lists get put in the first thread, you figure out your vote and EDIT your post in the second thread and add that person's name and book. Note that some alphabetize and some don't. Some are in order of who posted first. No problem.

I think when you review the threads, you'll catch on. If it's easier, use my two posts, one in each thread, as an example. My list in the first thread is Message #3 and my votes in the second thread are in Message #3 (purely coincidence that they are the same number!).

All the chatting and banter and joking around has its own thread here: /topic/show/...

Hope that helps! Let me know if I can answer any questions!

Brenda

Patricia go back to my message that I copied for you. I explained how you vote there.

Thanks, Brenda. I'm upstairs now, can't really explain from my phone! App is really limited.

Patricia, I think you forgot to vote for one of mine.
