Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments It's ones she's read Jacquelynn. It's a reading challenge.

Philip Whiteland | 3375 comments Nice to be in such distinguished company ;-)


Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments Jacquelynn wrote: "I don't understand this list. Can anyone join, or is it an exclusive club?"

As Elle said it is just me keeping track of which books I have read by "our authors" this year. I have one of yours on my TBR list & one that I read last year :)

Philip wrote: "Nice to be in such distinguished company ;-)"

I have another of yours in my TBR list :)



There are a few more authors on my TBR list & another couple that would be on a TBR list if they would hurry up and finish their next books!!

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments Jacquelynn, if you need any help setting your own thread, do let me know :) Challenge is open to anyone, but really it's just a way of keeping track of what we've read... it's just a bit more "official" on the forum (me putting pressure on anyone? Of course not!)


message 8: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments I'm so glad people are still using it :D!


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Yay, Janet - we really do have similar tastes in books!

This reminds me that I must update my challenge..

Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments Update 24th April 2012
32 books by 21 different authors

Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments Update 28th April 2012

36 books by 25 different authors


& I don't like how it has altered to show all the books in a long line - I preferred it with one line of books per author, but I can't change it back :(


Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments I lost all my collections on my kindle, I did try a reset to see if I could get them back. So I've spent time sorting the books on my kindle and have split the books that would have been in the old unread collection into three new collections -
Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Authors TBR
To Read (Paid for)
To Read (Free)

Now all I need is to be able to put my books on this thread in neat blocks instead of the silly long line that they changed themselves into.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oh blast. I'm sorry Janet.

I think mine went when I did a reset while my kindle was indexing.

Of course I didn't know it was indexing at the time.
It did give me the push to get organised but it took ages!


message 14: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Eep, Sorry to hear that Janet!


My Kindle last night decided to download every archived book. They have minds of their own don't they?!

I think that my kindle would explode if it ever tried to do that....

;0)


message 16: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Ha luckily for me I had only about 50 or so in there as most of my books (378 only now) are on my Kindle.

That is seriously weird.

First I've ever heard of that happening!

Ghost in the machine, perhaps?


message 18: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Ikr?! it didn't even reset or anything, it just kinda flashed and then started downloading everything. it turned the wifi on by itself too.


Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments Update -- 39 books by 26 different authors.

Now that I have re-arranged the books on here to my liking, I just need to finish sorting the collections on my kindle. I didn't realise how many of "our authors" there are.
Where are they all appearing from?

Sounds like some of the things which happen in this house (which was built by a drum major in Napoleon's army). CD player switching on at 6 am, not having been used for weeks. Doorbells ringing in the middle of the night - nobody there. Guitar strings snapping when nobody touching them. Usually when somebody associated with the house has just passed away.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments That's freaky Vic.


message 22: by Emma (new)

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments Things like that happen all the time in my Dads house! We have had a lot of deaths on that side of the family who were connected in some way to the house!


Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments Now it is 44 by 29

Vic Heaney (vic_heaney) | 689 comments Patti (Stir Crazy) wrote: "That's freaky Vic."

We had a friend staying with us for a week. We told her what I told you above, about the strange things happening. She was really spooked. Then we all went to bed. At 2 am the doorbell rang! Nobody there! Now she was really freaked out!


message 25: by Andrew (new)

Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 1774 comments Your reading rate puts me to shame - I'm so far behind on my reading after I spend the first two months of the year learning lines for Someone Who'll Watch Over Me...


message 26: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments That's really freaky, stuff like that scares me.


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

I would be running away from that house so fast that you wouldn't see me for dust!!!!!!!

It's a great house - just one of its little quirks.


Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments Latest update - 46 books by 31 different authors


message 30: by Nicola (new)

Nicola Palmer | 255 comments That is seriously impressive! And thanks for reading and rating one of mine :)


Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments I'm now up to 51 books by 34 different authors


message 32: by M.J. (new)

M.J. Webb (mjwebb) | 40 comments Wow ! That is seriously impressive and I'd like to thank you personally as one of my books is among them.

Well done. People like you make this site the best there is for authors and readers.

:-)


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Yeah, say that again after she names a fish after you. ;)


message 34: by M.J. (new)

M.J. Webb (mjwebb) | 40 comments Ha ha ha :-)

Smiley


I'm wondering how to fit a couple of books on my list - when I have eventually read them. They are collections of short stories - some of them by "our" authors.


message 36: by Andrew (new)

Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 1774 comments I didn't realise Simon Haynes was in the group - I've been meaning to check out Hal Spacejock for years... one clicked that!

I'm amazed at the numbers of "our authors" - I'm sure my list isn't complete (I have a list on a spreadsheet trying to keep track of what books I might want to read)


Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments Today's update 53 books by 36 different authors
(although some of them are the same people with different names) Smiley


message 39: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments That smiley is how I feel right now. It's like life is moving too fast for my brain to keep up.


Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments Just brought this list up to date 68 books by 46 different authors

Way to go, Janet!!

Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments Bringing this list up to date again

75 books by 49 different authors


message 43: by Andrew (new)

Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 1774 comments Wow, well done!

It's tragic that I always scroll up to see if you've read mine :D

I have to investigate Rosen's stuff at some point, I've read so many wonderful reviews. I think I downloaded some a while ago, but my TBR pile is now just insane...


Jay-me (Janet)  | 3778 comments I've finally managed the 50 different authors. Now I would just like to continue the list from post number 51 so that it is at the top of the next page and easier to find. If Patti will let me. Smiley


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Ok, you just need some nice person to post some momsense for 3 posts.

Like this for instance.

I haven't added the book Summer Shorts by Daphne Coleridge because it is a collection of both GR & non GR authors - plus I couldn't decide where I would add it anyway!!!
