Lordy - I'm just fifteen years off the doubling the qualifying age here and I still clock up a couple of kiddy books a week.

But I get your drift. You want a mild filter to wean out the worst the ludicrosities that do the rounds.

So you have listed C&H, that means I can list my current graphic audio. If you notice not too many of the under 35's have cottoned on to graphic audios - they are not so blinking kewl as they think they are.

haha.

Anyway - good topic for a list - good topic indeed.

I kept track on buggy's list last year, but I was so overwhelmed by all the YA Vampire books that I couldn't see what the other half was reading! Hopefully this will address the problem. And I most certainly did put in C & H, and kiddie books and audio absolutely count too!

Thanks so much for starting this list. I am thrilled that the "under 35s" are reading so much, but the subjects of many of the most popular books don't interest me. It is good to see what others in my age group are reading.

No... no problem... then when you get to the end of the year you can take the unread ones off, and if you read others you can put them in.

And you're right... it wasn't really clear.

Not sure if there was really a fire support base in Vietnam named Matterhorn, since this book is fiction.

I find the list a bit confusing as I can't easily see what others have newly added to the list... just wanted to recommend "Little Princes: One Man's Story to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal". I added it to the list, but it's showing up last, and it's honestly the best book I've read in ages.

Sorry (I think I probably wasn't clear, as I reread my message)... what I don't understand is how the ranking system works. I get the obvious part -- books with the most votes go first... but then how are they ordered after that? For instance, all the books that have only one vote... how do you find out what has been added to the list since you last checked?

Hi Lisa. The scoring is a bit complicated. Your first vote gets 100 points, your second vote gets 99, and so on. Then the points are added. So...

if 4 people vote for a book and all 4 people put it in first place, the book gets 400 points, which is the max number of points for 4 voters.

Then the books are ordered based on points. It's possible for a book that has 4 votes in first place (100x4=400 points) to be ranked higher than a book with 5 lower rankings (75x5=375, eg).

So all the books that have one vote go in the order of points given to them. My book is 25th on my list and gets 75 points, your book is 24th on your list and gets 76 points and so is ranked higher.

And you just have to keep checking back to see what has been added, unfortunately.

Hi Vanessa... This list is the place where you put all the books that you have read this year, not in past years.

**Click on the tab that says "add books to this list"
**You will see "Add books from: my books or a search"
**Under that you will see "shelf"
**Click on the arrow next to shelf, which drops down to show "all, read, currently reading, etc."
**Click on "read" and vote for all of those books

I started this list so I can see what all the older readers are reading, not just the YAs. Thanks for playing!
