Sorry, Bea, it maybe the late hour or am just really sleepy but I couldn't understand your question... :(

Is the shelf you want to read the book for, 'graphic novels'? What's MPG?

Can't go to sleep without doing up my plans, of course... Am trying for 12 books for this month (I may change my mind later) ;)

Lol Tien. I started planning as soon as I saw the letters :D
I haven't read any of the books you are going to read, but of course I have heard of 4:50 from Paddington :)

Tien, I don't think it isthe late hour..I also don't understand it and was also wondering what MPG stands for...

Tien wrote: "Bea wrote: "Tien - I want to read Charlaine Harris' second book in The Cemetery Girl Trilogy (Inheritance) for Genre - Graphic Novels. It is listed as a MPG but I cannot find it lis..."

Sorry...MPG is Main Page Genre. The book I want to read has Graphic Novels listed as Sequential Art>Graphic Novels as a main page genre. In the list of shelves, it has both "graphic novels" and "graphic novel" listed at the top of the first column. However, when I click on either term, I am taken to the generic genre page rather than to a shelf. Thus my question.

PS: I have also searched the most frequently read this week and other lists, without successfully finding this book.

Kristell, I think for both gown and man would work. Something else that I think would work is moon. There is a crescent moon next to "the".

Ariel, you are right. It is crazy!

Hm, now that you mention it, they all do look a bit obscure especially the 5 Aussie books :)

Ariel wrote: "In only the fifth month, we have the third appearance for G & M and the second appearance for I & R! Craziness, but I love the extra challenge... :)"

I am a little bit disappointed with this random letter spinner (we've been using a website for this)... where are the hard letters like X & Z!? lol ;p

Ariel wrote: "Want to make sure my skip looks good for the last shelf..."

Ariel, before I look into your Skip, I think I'll just remind you that you could do the same letters multiple times as long as it's not the same shelf. So you could do 'retelling' and 'romance' for this month's shelves and not do any shelf starting with 'e' at all.

Hope this makes sense... Just making sure you know this before you actually use your skip.

Firstly, if it shows up on the MPG already, I wouldn't worry about checking the shelves.

Secondly, this is how:
*note: shelved as 'graphic-novel' 24 times & 'graphic-novels' 23 times
*You'll note also that both link (graphic-novel and graphic-novels) take you to the same genre page, graphic-novels. On this page, scroll down 'til you see 'Popular Graphic Novel Books' -usually this is a clickable link that will take you to your shelf however sometimes this is not a clickable link. Usually, I take this to mean that there aren't enough books shelved on this shelf for a page but I don't know why here??! There should be heaps of books for these shelves.
*the next thing to try is by going via top shelves search and type in either shelf name and you'll find Shelves > Graphic Novel (book is on page 57) & Shelves > Graphic Novels >

I just record them as they come up. Should I skip any letters that we already have had at least twice?

Tien wrote: "*the next thing to try is by going via top shelves search and type in either shelf name and you'll find Shelves > Graphic Novel (book is on page 57) & Shelves > Graphic Novels>"

Thanks for the help. I couldn't figure how to find the Popular Graphic Novel Book list when there was no link on the genre page.

Bea wrote: "Should I skip any letters that we already have had at least twice? "

I think that's a good idea, Bea :)

Tien wrote: "Bea wrote: "Should I skip any letters that we already have had at least twice? "

I think that's a good idea, Bea :)"

OK. A, G, I, L, M, P, R will all be eliminated from rolls starting June.

But it makes it harder if they are repeated ;)

We'll see how we go, Dee ;p I do want to get to other letters than just G M & R! We still haven't seen the last bits of the alphabets (U-Z), have we?

Lusie wrote: "Kristell, I think for both gown and man would work. Something else that I think would work is moon. There is a crescent moon next to "the"."

Oh thank you, I didn't see the moon lol

I think we need to allow use of letters for at least three months or we won't have any left for December. 2 x 26 = 52, 5 x 12 = 60

Good idea, Coralie, we'll need to figure out some system ;)

Tien wrote: "Good idea, Coralie, we'll need to figure out some system ;)"

OK...just let me know prior to next month's draw. If we go for three months, that would eliminate G and M only.

So far we have had 16 distinct letters drawn with 6 from the last half of the alphabet (S, R, P, N, T, W).

Bea wrote: "If we go for three months, ..."

Exactly what I was thinking, Bea :)

OK. I've made a note for the next draw/

Karen, I couldn't find 'Emily Trefusis' on the book page? Other than that, the rest of your plan looks good.

@Karin: good plan but good luck! Those books would kill me lol

Tien wrote: "Karen wrote: "l. name of character - E Emily Trefusis The Sittaford Mystery"

Of course they don't have the main character listed, why would they ;-)

Same shelf, different book

English - They Do It with Mirrors

Thanks for looking out, Tien. In all honesty, I'll probably rework my plan a few times and not even need the skip. Just testing the skipping waters, I guess! So, in theory... If I went that route, it'd work, yeah?

Tien wrote: "@Karin: good plan but good luck! Those books would kill me lol"

:) But the two by Plato are rather short. It's not always been fun, but I am reading his Complete Works which I have wanted to do for years and will garner Big Points for this on RwS. It just helped here that each of these is also published separately in its own right. I have concluded that only a couple of his are actually brilliant. Lots of tripe in there.

Alrighty, new plan sans the skip...

I looked at the shelves for this book...and I found grown-up 3 users on page 2 if you feel too guilty.

Karen wrote: "Same shelf, different book

That's fine :)

You can also swap the books around for shelves, eg.
March: Book Three (March #3) for the i shelf
page 2: 'informational'
page 4: 'inspiring'
page 5: 'issue-race'

The Sleeper and the Spindle (great book!) for the g shelf
page 2: 'girl-power' or 'gothic'

PS: skip is also fine :)

Totally fine. They're in different areas (title vs. series name)
