Happy to help! I will look into it and get back to you. If you have your profile set up to accept PMs I'll send you my findings that way.

That would be nice to have a subforum for this group. Then we could all have our own threads, and comment on them. Great idea taming.

I don't even know how to flag a post, lol.

I hope someone does, though.

We should probably wait for THE TERMINATOR

to chime in. It's his group so I think we should get his input too.

where'd ya' get them there rules J.W.?

I'm thinking we'd be better off starting a new thread for the books we are reading instead of using the social group. Who agrees or disagrees?

no

So, +1 from me if the mods are willing to accommodate us.

Edited to correct horrible misuse of the letter "o"

no

I was incorrect about not being able to edit your own posts in the social group. But, the forum is a lot easier to use especially when you can reply.

Perhaps a 'Reading challenge ' sub-forum would be a good idea. That way people can post a thread keeping track of their specific challenge be it a 100 book/50k page or any other challenge.

It would also be a good spot for new challenges to be initiated.

JSWolf · 01-03-2011, 01:11 PM

Of course, we could just start a thread and those that don't want to see it can ignore it.

I think that's a good idea. I also find it much more convenient to post in a thread on the forum.

I like it too.

A reading challenge label would be neat if we did it that way, maybe as an option in Reading Recommendations.

MV64 · 01-03-2011, 02:09 PM

Just finished House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski, first books of 2011 out of the way!

Shopaholic · 01-03-2011, 02:12 PM

I thought I'd join and try to get 100 books in. Why not right.

I don't think I'll be marking down all the books I read but I'll try to update my ticker. I like those silly things too. They're cute. lol

The more the merrier ! I don't know if I'll get to 100 either, but it's a fun challenge
