Cat’s Comments (group member since Nov 28, 2016)

Cat’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

so, I've got an odd one....

I own The Chronicles of Amber, which is a collection of titles 1 - 5 in a 10 book series.
Books 1 - 10 are all individually on the mulitverse shelf
The collection of all 10 is on the multiverse shelf
The collection I have (above) isn't on the multiverse shelf. (go figure!)

As the individual titles 1-5 in the series are all listed on the multiverse shelf, please can I use this collection of books 1-5 for that spin??
pretty please?!

I feel your pain. 17,000 over here."

I saw that :( and I plain refuse to read Dickens, which would be an easy way of getting the high page counts needed with minimal books.
