2014 Books! discussion

Hello everyone!

This tread is for a spot to express any questions, concerns, or suggestions for the group.

Here's just a basic review of our current rules

~Please be polite and respectful.
~List any books you have FINISHED in 2014. This includes paper books, e-books, audio books, graphic novels, 100+ page short stories/novellas & any Children's books over 100 pages.
~You can post books that someone else has already posted.
~PLEASE no more regular chat in the "2014 Books" thread.

Any other "rule" suggestions are welcome.

Hi, I have a question, why is it only children's books over 100 pages? Just curious!

Honestly, its mainly so people don't read a bunch of 10 page stories & add them to the list. We just kind of wanted them to be actual "books" and not picture stories, etc as its more challenging that way. Does that make sense?

Thank you. Makes perfect sense :)

Are we still allowed to correct numbering at any point? Say the last post is 100 but someone was at the last page that ended in 89, then started another 99th book. Can we use our post to correct the numbering and noting that correction. For example:

"101. book finished (count correction)"

If we started a book in 2013 but, finished it in 2014 can we list it as a 2014 book? I read multiple books at a time and sometimes it takes me a little longer to finish.

Hey guys! Liza - YES PLEASE! Correct any numbering issues you see!! Sorry, I just saw this now! Goodreads is being stupid and not sending me email notifications!! *grumble*

And Stephanie - you can totally count it as a 2014 book! I'd do the same if I finished a book that I'd started prior :-)

Hey SuperReaders we're behind where we were this time last year. I compared our 2013 List to our 2014 list. On this day last year we listed 703-713 books read today we're only at 524!! Not that it matters, I just thought I'd share - in the event any of you are as competitive as I am. Time to start speed reading. Hahaha!! Or not...just have fun! :-)

Hey girlie! I totally noticed this too! I'm hoping to be able to add some more books in the future - but the whole work/school thing makes it tricky. Maybe I can read a few 100+ page novellas and up the number a little bit :-P

Hopefully I can do the same. I'm going to try & bump the numbers with some Graphic Novels. Saga volume 2 & 3 & Locke & Key 4, 5, & 6. :-)

I have read a few graphic novels, but I don't know how many pages there were...so I didn't add them. Would you like me to add them? Update: I just checked and they're over 100 pages.

Hey girlie - you can usually find the page numbers on their goodreads page if the novel isn't numbered itself. Maybe that might help you in the future?

You're right. After I made that post I went back to their Goodreads pages and checked. :-) Did you want me to add them to the list since they're over 100 pages?

yes absolutely! feel free to add them! i'm planning on re-reading the sandman graphic novels and will add those on the list as well! :-)
