Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR THE POSTING OF READ BOOKS BY TEAM MEMBERS IN ORDER TO ASSIST THE CAPTAINS

Link to main team thread is here

So I blatantly stole this from Karen *grin* Thanks!

If you can please post the following here:

- the book (please link with the "add book/author" feature)
- page numbers of the edition you read (the one on your shelf!)
- date read
- any open goals it may work for
- if it can count for any quests in the mini challenge
- if it was a BOM then if you wrote DQs or participated in the discussion

- OPTIONAL: anything interesting about the book that may count for a later open goal (for example, MC professions, location/setting if not specific on book page, extraordinary side-kicks, character names starting with unusual letters, if the characters is a twin, if there's a birth/wedding/make over involved, etc..)

- OPTIONAL: which "The Mummy" quest your book works for

Annika, looks like the spreadsheet isn't counting points for my books?

I know, I've seen that as well and am investigating. :(
You are not the only one this has happened to. So far all books have been added to the goalless sheet, so they aren't lost. Now I just need to figure out what's wrong with the automated stuff :(

ST I think you need to befriend the NRBC account for it to work. (Still might not be the only thing that is wrong though)

That'll be the problem, yes. The shelf is correct, I just checked again. The only way the script will run is if you're friends with the mod account. So once you're friends with that account, all should be good :-)

Thanks, just sent a friend request to The Moderators of NRBC.

Thanks lovely :-)

Yipee, that worked!

BUT, my BOM points are still missing...

The one that was on my currently reading shelf is 629. And my book is 629 pages. But the book isn't even showing up on my read shelf, should I just go with the one that is showing up and forget about the extra 300 odd pages I read?
