The Lobby: 100,000 Book Challenge

Okay, I think I'm up to the challenge. I have 3 books read and commented on but sitting in a word doc already.

This looks like it might be fun.

I've got 5 books I have to add. :)

How can I get the cover of the book to come up in my post?

YAY! This is so exciting, and I like the new layout, even though it's a tad confusing still.

 I've read about... 10 books, and I've blogged 4 of them so far, but I'm having a blast. I forgot how much fun this was last year. Hopefully some of my same friends remember me, or are even still here... =D

 Happy reading,

Lorie,

I have already messed up.  I was not thinking (how unusual) and I put my reviews that I had in my blog and not the Dream Teams, what do I do now?

Thanks for your help....

I saw that button but when I try to link to a picture, all I get is a red X.

Hello Everyone, I am brandnew to the Book Challenge this year!  I stumbled over last year's book challenge in the fall and thought, "Wow this is something I want  part of".   I have added four book reviews and am off to the library on my lunch break today.

Lorie,

I only blogged them, do I need to put them in the review section on the team log for them to go toward the count.  I am sure I will understand this by the end of the year (lol).  At least this year I will have the team to help me.

Thanks

Okay, I just sent everything through to your email address, let me know if you got everything okay.  This is all new to me.

Thanks

I was wondering where I find the list of other people in the challenge. This new format until I get use to it is confusing. I have 4 books to blog about. thanks

What qualifies as a book? I just finished reading this e-book that was 140 pages... is that a novella, or a novel?

Happy reading,

the "How to add a Book Review" forum.  I thought about posting them here or in the "intro and rules" forum but they're all about posting reviews, so I chose there.

Anyway, please come by and put your opinion in!

TIA,

So will you be continuing you Diana Palmer quest or on a quest for another authors books this year?

Jayne posted above ----- <  if readers wish to blog their reviews loosely grouped as teams by identifying them with a team tag then I will allow it. But, please make sure you register your team names with Lorie…and Keep Reading!  >

Lorie ... the Quiet Canadians want to use a Team tag .... that's Christa, Kel (scoobie) and me 

Hi Christa -

I am actually still on my quest to read all Diana Palmer books. It's tough when she keeps coming out with more! Unfortunately, it seems there are some copies I just can not get which makes me very sad- and I'm still waiting on a few. I'll probably post another list soon ... but once I've exhausted all avenues for DP books, I believe I'm going to pick another author and another quest. 

Hi y'all!  So good to be back here again.  Love the new digs and am slowly figuring out my way around.  Things around here got a bit crazy last year and reading and blogging fell by the wayside.  But hopefully we've turned the corner and back to as close to normal as we've ever been. 

Just wanted to stop by and say hello.

I know the techies and the hosties are kind of overwhelmed at the moment, and that you will do what is possible to make the site easier to manage, and that sometimes it is not possible to do somethings. This said, I wanted to observe that not being able to go to one central place for a challenge blog (e.g., an individual person's blog or a team blog) makes the challenge more about reading and blogging than about sharing reactions to the books.

One of the things that most people commented on was the joy of finding other people with the same interests and being able to chat with them about a certain book.  It is now extremely difficult to do this.

I know that somethings may not be possible to get here on the new  site, but I'm hoping that the solution to this problem is not among the things that are impossible.

Cheers,

FF 

I notice a lot of the reviews are using book covers. I've been successful getting the image on, but I can't seem to be able to type anything beside it. I don't want to waste the space.

How does everyone get words beside the picture?

Hi Jayne!  Have you slept yet?  :wink:

The "new" red marker doesn't show up in this thread either, though there are supposedly new posts.  Just so you know.

I've noticed that threads that are longer than two pages, the "new" marker is missing and that I am always taken to the first page of posts     ....... on threads that have not yet had enough comments made to advance to a second page, the "new" marker is there and I'm taken directly to that spot in the thread 

... and I agree with Penni .... it would be sooooo wonderful to have the love title bar, renamed as "title and author bar"  .... or give us a separate input for the author's name ........ quite often "titles" are reused in the Harlequin imprints, and it would be lovely to know who wrote a book without always have to ask the reviewer
