Link to Previous thread, with dormant journals:
http://www.librarything.com/topic/166522

After consulting with @clamairy, I will be updating and maintaining the Green Dragon Personal Reading Journals Master Thread.

Please post below, or send me a message if:

•I missed you (sorry), or you start a brand new thread.

•I made a mistake. (There are probably a few!)

•Your thread lives in another group, and you would like to have it included here.

•You have a reading blog outside of LibraryThing, and would like to share it with us.
    (I'll make a separate list for those.)

Thanks for taking this on! Great job!

This is very nice of you, Sylvia, thank you!

Wow, thank you, Sylvia!

Cool.

I was wondering about this thread, but didn't have the mojo to take it on, so kept quiet. Thank you, SylviaC!

Wow! Thanks for taking this on.

Ta muchly!

Thank you!

Whoa! This is fabulous! Thanks!

Thank you, Sylvia. I appreciate this more than you can guess.

>12 clamairy: You did most of the work in previous years, Clam. I just had to copy and update. But it really added to my appreciation of how much you have done over the years to make the Green Dragon the welcoming place that it is!

>13 SylviaC: Yes, that!

Thanks, you two. I updated the GD group page so the Reading Journals link points to this new thread.

Also, I did have a 2015 thread, but it's missing from the links above. I just never got very far for obvious reasons. I am planning to add the rest of my 2015 reads at some point. It's here: http://www.librarything.com/topic/188158

Wish us luck. I am taking my kids to the Florida Keys for a few days. It's our first trip in a very long time. (Eleven years, to be exact.) We were all feeling the need for some sun, warmth and, mostly, a change of scenery.

Ooops. That will teach me to post after a couple of glasses of sauvignon blanc... Heh heh I forgot to sign out of the admin account.

Have a wonderful trip, Clam--and thanks to both you and Sylvia. I hope we'll see more of you this year!

>15 GreenDragon: Thanks for changing the link in the group description. And I added your 2015 thread to the list. Don't know why I didn't find it when I was digging around for everyone else's.

Hope you have a great trip! It's supposed to get cold and stormy here, so I be thinking of you in all that sun.

>15 GreenDragon: and >18 SylviaC: This is the real evidence that this group has become a community. Everyone contributes to the good of the whole to the best of their capabilities. And when one needs to step away for a bit, another steps forward. I, for one, can't tell you how much it is appreciated.

(Cue the sound of the masses cheering)

>1 SylviaC: thank you SO much for doing this. And a big thank you to clam, for all the work done before.

Thank you Sylvia, great job!

Clam, I hope you and the kids have a great time in Florida. You deserve a break.

>19 jillmwo: this. Also *cheers massively*

Thank you @clamairy and @SylviaC!

Just started my 2016 thread here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/214798

Thank you for keeping this updated!

Thanks for this Sylvia!

>23 LunaticDruid: Added!

I'm tracking my reading in the 2016 challenge group: https://www.librarything.com/topic/195691

Thanks!

>26 Thwaite: Added!

@Morphidae added.

You're very good to do this, Sylvia. Thank you.

Op, I missed this thread this year, here's my (sadly neglected so far) 2016 journal: https://www.librarything.com/topic/211149 Thank you!

>30 sandstone78: Already added :)

>30 sandstone78: Thank you! :D

There has been a cluster of updates lately. Please let me know if I missed anyone, or made any mistakes.

If anyone would like to share their personal reading blog from outside of LT, I can make a list of those, too.

*quietly raises hand* I just made mine...

https://www.librarything.com/topic/224505

>34 gilroy: I added you to the list!

I have updated the list with all of the 2017 journal threads that I have been able to find. It is highly probable that I have missed some, or made mistakes. I would appreciate it if you could each check that the link by your name leads to your 2017 thread if you have one. And please let me know if I missed you, or if you have a journal in another group that you would like to have included in the Green Dragon listings.

>36 SylviaC: *gentle hug* Welcome back!

>36 SylviaC: This is wonderful, Sylvia. Thank you for putting this together.

I trust your posting indicates you are on the mend. Keep well.

Thank you! I wasn't expecting this so soon.

We need to talk about shifting the responsibility for this off your shoulders by turning it into a group wiki page. It might be a pain to do initially, but then folks can easily update their own links, and the rest of us can take care of the people who aren't comfortable doing their own updating.

>37 gilroy: Thanks for keeping it gentle!

>38 pgmcc: I'm feeling much better the last two days, except for the sudden crashes. It's nice to feel like I might be part of the world again.

>39 clamairy: It's not that big of a job once I got the formatting set up last year—just a matter of updating as new threads appear. The main disadvantage of doing it this way is that upkeep is tied to a single user. Either way is workable, and I'm content to continue as it is, or to assist in converting it to a wiki page if someone with more wiki experience wants to set it up.

Hurray! Thank you. Well done.

*quietly marvels that his reading thread is in the top 100 hot topics*

>42 gilroy: It's because of the Dickens/cruller duel! :o)

ETA: We have several in there. I don't usually check.

Thank you, Sylvia!

Newbie me has started one at http://www.librarything.com/topic/253364#

Hi, @Spurts. Nice of you to join us here! I've added your thread to the list.

This thread should be up to date as of now, and I will continue to update daily as new threads are posted. Please check your listing and let me know if I made any mistakes. If you have a thread that lives in another LT group which you would like to have included here, give me the link and I will add it.

I'm looking forward to following all the personal reading threads.

>47 SylviaC: Thank you for doing this!

I've been updating daily as I see new threads. Please let me know if I missed anyone or made any mistakes.

I'm baa-ack (after *cough* three years *cough*).

Here's my link

http://www.librarything.com/topic/281208#6323169

>50 humouress: It's been added. And welcome back!

>51 SylviaC: Thank you. And thank you.

I’m going to star this thread because it’s useful for finding everyone quickly, but would it be easier (on you, too) to have a wiki and park the link in the Green Dragon introductory bumph?

>52 humouress: That's been mentioned before, but we haven't done anything about it. Frankly, at this point, it's easier for me to deal with the little flurry of activity in January than to migrate it to a wiki. But if anyone with wiki experience wants to organize one, I'd be happy to help. The biggest issue with the current format is that it's tied to a single user. On the other hand, I don't know how much participation we would get in maintaining a wiki, given that the GD isn't as much of a dedicated journaling group as something like the 75ers.

There is a link to this thread in the Green Dragon introduction, along with a bunch of other stuff.

Is it true about Ursula Le Guin?

>54 MAJic: ‘Fraid so :0(

My first half of 2017 reading list: https://www.librarything.com/topic/247373. My 2018 list is too new/short to count.

Creating wiki: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/**Master_Thread**_Personal_Reading_Journ...

>57 humouress: Thank you for doing this!

>58 clamairy: You're welcome.

I'm just editing it to separate out the letters, but it's repetitive work that has me nodding off. I'm halfway through the alphabet. If anyone wants to chip in and help, please go ahead. Click on an 'edit' button to see how it goes.

ETA I created the wiki page at the end of January, but I see there’s been an update to >1 SylviaC: at the end of February, so they just need to be matched up.

>59 humouress: Thanks for setting that up!

When new journals have been started since you set up the wiki, I've been adding them to both this page and the wiki, just to keep them both in sync while getting going.

I finally remembered to edit the new wiki link into the header on the group page. Many thanks, both of you!

>61 GreenDragon: I always feel a bit startled when the pub starts posting. Makes me feel I've had a few to many and should head home. ;)

>62 MrsLee:

It's alive!

I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore

>62 MrsLee: If I've had enough to have the pub talking to me, I'd be looking for a room in the back to sleep. Wouldn't feel safe going home. :)

>66 GreenDragon: LOVE it! :D

Oops; it slipped my mind. I've finally finished editing the wiki page. It should be good to go now.

>68 humouress: Many thanks for doing this! All your work is greatly appreciated!

>69 clamairy: You’re welcome.

>68 humouress: It looks fantastic! Thank you so much for doing it! I will update the first post with a link to the wiki. And one here, too:

https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/**Master_Thread**_Personal_Reading_Journ...

>71 SylviaC: No problem!

Something I thought to ask, with the new year upon us: Are we to update our own listing with our new reading threads or should we still post them here so only a limited number of hands disturbs the wiki (The wiki-force?)

>73 gilroy: I'd think the main draw of putting it on the wiki is that we can edit our own listing. (I just did, and restarted my own journal after 3 years, thanks to your post!)

>73 gilroy: Like @saltmanz, I chose to update my own when I created my thread on January 1. I like doing stuff myself when empowered to do so.

Besides, I’ve somehow gone through life without ever editing a wiki anything and I thought it was time to expand my horizons. On the other hand, I don’t think the 5 seconds it took added too much to my horizons. ;)

>75 YouKneeK:
I think we should join our 5 seconds together and bathe in the glory of a 10 second horizon. I was a wiki virgin too, but now I am not. Go wiki!

>74 saltmanz: , >75 YouKneeK: , >76 pgmcc: Ah, very good. So I edited mine as well, then, but corrected my older threads to HTTPS for proper linking sake.

>76 pgmcc: LOL, a glorious plan.

>77 gilroy: Good idea, I’ve now done the same with mine, adding 1 or 2 more seconds to the expanded horizon. :)

>74 saltmanz: >75 YouKneeK: >76 pgmcc: >77 gilroy: Oh good; I thought I was going to have to be super organised (not my forte, you may have noticed) and look for everyone’s new threads. Yay! for expanding horizons!

But if you want me to update for you, please let me know.

I edited and saved, but the change doesn't show up. Is there something else I need to know?

>79 humouress: Thank you for all your effort in setting it up.

>80 Meredy: I had a look and the link goes to your 2019 journal. It looks okay to me.

>81 pgmcc: You're welcome!

Well, another wiki virgin, or rather almost virgin here. Way back when I tried to do something on the wiki, when it first started, and failed. I will try this weekend to add my thread. Perhaps then I may become and experienced wiki person.

Yay, I did mine successfully!

>82 humouress:, oh, my mistake--I thought I would see something change at the top of this thread as well. But of course that's not it. Thanks for checking.

And thanks for all your work setting this up I do refer to it, and being on it myself feels like having a kind of anchor in the group--a commitment of sorts, even.

>85 Meredy:
An anchor?
@Meredy, we have you tied hand and foot. You’re not getting away that easily.

ETA: In the nicest possible way, of course.

I've updated mine. I found it was very easy to update, even without a lot of wiki experience.

I'm glad to see people adding their journal threads to the wiki. The main reason for the change is that the old format was tied to a single user for all the editing, whereas everyone can make their own entries on the wiki. If anyone needs help adding their thread, I'm sure that if you post here, someone with more wiki experience will be able to help you out.

The wiki is here:
https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/**Master_Thread**_Personal_Reading_Journ...

Updated and fixed all of mine to https

Wheee! I did it! Also, I changed the link at the top which comes back to the GD to https.

I've updated the wiki to add my new thread :D

I have not added myself to the wiki because I cannot find how to enter the character which begins my username (which I will need, in order to add the appropriate section header).

Can anyone advise please?

>93 -pilgrim-: Added.

Please check it; I used a normal minus sign before and after your username, which is what I see in your message header.

>94 humouress: Ah. You have indexed it under the second letter of my username. That does avoid the problem. I was trying to create an index section heading with the first character, '-', and found that it seemed to cause an underline, rather than the representation of the character itself.

I was proposing to add - after Y, as that is where it comes in most character sets. You would prefer it is treated as an 'invisible' character?

>95 -pilgrim-: Oh - was that the issue? I don’t mind moving it to the end if you prefer; I can have a go (once I get home).

Or wait; I should get all proprietorial and defend my territory and declare ‘You shall do it my way!’, shouldn’t I?

>95 -pilgrim-: I’m not sure if there’s another way to do it, but you can insert a hyphen by using the html code for it:
‑

That will result in a – being displayed. I went ahead and added yours at the end. For what it’s worth, if I were looking for your name in an alphabetical list, I would have looked under the P’s without thinking about it because I would have forgotten about the hyphen. I think of you as “pilgrim”, not “hyphen-pilgrim-hyphen”. :)

Although in reality, I’d probably just hit Ctrl+F and search for Pilgrim rather than clicking/scrolling, so I’d find you quickly in any case.

>96 humouress:, >97 YouKneeK: Thank you both very much for your help.

Actually I have no strong preference for the location, but after internally debating whether -pi precedes other ps, follows them, or appears in the middle, I came to the conclusion that following ISO convention was the least contentious solution.

>96 humouress: I should get all proprietorial and defend my territory and declare ‘You shall do it my way!’, shouldn’t I?
*chortles* From what I have seen of LT, you are very probably right.
It is refreshing to find the Green Dragon such an oasis of civility and common sense.
(And PGGBs, of course)

>98 -pilgrim-:
From what I have seen of LT, you are very probably right.
It is refreshing to find the Green Dragon such an oasis of civility and common sense.

I think that was one of the primary purposes of the Green Dragon; we were trying to get away from the trolling and aggression found elsewhere. "A civil conversation and a nice pint of whatever your having" would, to my mind, describe the GD objective.

>98 -pilgrim-: >99 pgmcc: Not only a civil conversation, but a conversation that (mostly, aside from the odd piffle party) has some substance to it. The PGGBs don't hurt either.

> 100

I've found the piffles to be mostly even rather than odd. Of course, there is the occasional green one that's been outside too long.

>101 suitable1: ewww

I've finally created my thread for this year and added the link to the wiki.

If anyone (new) needs help adding their link, please let me know.

>104 humouress:
Hi, @humoruess.

I looked at my entry on the thread and it looked like I had not updated the wiki. When I looked at the wiki I had updated it but the change does not appear to be updating to the thread.

What am I doing wrong?

P.S. Thank you for reminding me to check it.

>105 pgmcc: The link on the wiki goes to Volume I of your thread for this year (gosh, three thread already! I didn’t even fill enough of one thread last year to get the continuation link). If you want a link on the wiki, you’ll have to put it in manually, I’m afraid.

Is the problem the same as >85 Meredy:?

If you mean that this thread didn’t update, only SylviaC can update it. Anyone can update the wiki so that she doesn’t have to do all the work. The wiki now replaces this thread.

I think I've updated the wiki for the new threads (so far) in 2020 and added the missing ones for last year too. Just posting this as a reminder that this resource exists and anyone in the group can keep it up-to-date.

>107 AHS-Wolfy: You should probably change all the http:'s to https:'s.

>108 jjwilson61: People who know how should do that themselves, and then I'll go in and add the missing 's' to the rest of them. >107 AHS-Wolfy: shouldn't have to do that for all of them. Several people have already corrected theirs here: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/**Master_Thread**_Personal_Reading_Journ...

>107 AHS-Wolfy: Thank you very much for adding my 2020 thread to the list! I always forget about this until somebody posts a reminder.

>107 AHS-Wolfy: I add my thanks to those of >110 YouKneeK:.

>107 AHS-Wolfy: Much thanks Wolfy! I've been lost in holiday swirl and barely had time to do that.

Yes, many thanks for taking this on, >107 AHS-Wolfy:. You are very much appreciated.

>107 AHS-Wolfy: Thank you!

>109 clamairy: I notice that my journals are on the thread that you provided a link to, but not this one. Where should I have put them?

And adding my thanks to Wolfy for tidying us all up.

>115 -pilgrim-: The only person who can change the links in the first post is >1 SylviaC: and she doesn't visit here anymore, sadly. So don't worry about that for now. At some point I might ask for editing power for the group, but I don't really want to go there unless I have to. (All that power might go to my head... muwahaha.)

>116 clamairy: “Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair!”

>117 MrsLee: My thoughts exactly!

*bows, awestruck*

*Begins building throne of crystal and skulls*

>117 MrsLee: Self-knowledge is a wonderful thing, oh mighty one.

I think I'm going ask for that mod power after all...
In all seriousness I would dearly like to update the first post in this thread.
And I won't be doing this while I'm editing it...

>122 clamairy: Riiiiight

>122 clamairy: Got it. More skulls, less crystal...

I saw that SylviaC has recently posted on the GD FB page, clam. Perhaps she's not totally gone and could be asked to list you as a co-manager here?

>125 Marissa_Doyle: I thought about that, but I am afraid one of the reasons she left was because she felt the pressure to take care of this. There is no way to "co-manage" a post.

My latest plan is to just restart the thread, and make the OP from the @GreenDragon account. That way (theoretically anyway) there will be more than one person to tend to it.

I guess it's time I add someone else (or several someone elses) as admin(s) as it appears @JPB will not be spending time here again.

>126 clamairy: That makes me sad. the absence of former active members.

>127 MrsLee: Likewise.

>127 MrsLee: & >128 pgmcc: Yes, it's disheartening. One was my cofounder of The Dragon and a prolific poster early on, and the other a core member for years. I'm still hoping they may drift back as several others have done recently. I know all too well how easy it is to get out of the habit of dropping in.

I'm going through some tough times right now (elderly parent issues and all that entails) and I'm really finding the GD of a great deal of comfort right now though it does take some attention and focus (after having done a bit of drifting myself last year due to the aforementioned issues.) Maybe they will drift back.

Like flotsam (or is it jetsam?), I came drifting back after almost 2 years. The warm welcome I received made it easy to get back in the habit of checking in every morning. It is so good to reconnect with old friends. I went to a couple of meet-ups back in the day...maybe it's time to think about another some day!

I'm relatively new here (both on LT and in the Pub) but I have read a lot of the old threads and there are certainly quite a few people I wish were still active. As for me, I had an account on LT for several years before I discovered Talk, and since then I've basically never shut up. Since I live on my own in a place where there isn't much bookish conversation, LT is pretty much my social life. My wife says I found my tribe.

haydninvienna: You have indeed.

>133 MerryMary: Thanks. I'm assuming you meant that I've found my tribe, rather than that I never shut up. See, though, how hard I'm trying to get GD up to 500,000 posts?

>130 Marissa_Doyle: I'm sorry about your issues and I'm so happy you've found your way back.

>133 MerryMary: & >134 haydninvienna: Thank you for this. 🤣

We need a smallish piffle party in this thread so I can start the new one.

>135 clamairy: Clam, thank you for being a mover and shaker of one of the best places on the net. And now let the piffling begin!

Very well; might we begin with "smallish"? Where in the relative scale of smallness does it fit? Somewhere between average and small, one presumes, but accuracy is important.

Piffle parties do have a way of expanding to consume the available piffle, of course. Bit like work, which expands to fill the time available. (Which is your actual Parkinson’s Law.)

Smallish is all very well, but I hope it will be high-quality piffle!

I'm generally better at lurking than at posting, but enjoy all the conversations going on here. Very glad that tardis got me on to LT and eventually into the Green Dragon. I, too, miss some of the people that have dropped off over the years. It's so nice to see some of them reappear!

It has just gone midnight here. I got out of ed to go downstairs to get my wife a glass of water. Just before getting back into bed I checked my phone and noticed 12 unread posts in the Master Thread.

“Aye! Aye!”, says I. “What ‘ave we got ear?”

What do I find? A piffle party in full swing.

Let this be my initial contributiin to this party. As I am exhausted it will be some hours before my next post and, unless I am very much mistaken, the master- pifflers here will have long since reached the tequisite 151 posts.

Piffle on dudes.
Be excellent to each0 other.

>141 pgmcc: midnight piffling - excellent!

>142 NorthernStar:
It is the only proper time to piffle.

>143 pgmcc: I thought you were supposed to be in bed at this hour!

>141 pgmcc: A likely story, just glancing at your phone on the way to the kitchen at midnight.... 🤣

They call me the midnight piffler.

>146 Bookmarque: Awesome lyrics from the 70s that never were..

>146 Bookmarque: Nocturnal pifflation?

To piffle or not to piffle ...

I piffle, therefore I am.

Keep calm and piffle on.

>151 suitable1: You have achieved peak piffle, and the thread can now be continued! Congratulations!

*runs in with the disco ball* Am I too late to the party?
What? Not that kind of party?

Oh, okay...

Thank you, all! I will take care of this later in the day.

This may be a dumb question, and I guess I’m a little late, but do we really need a list in a thread now that we have the Wiki? My impression from the first sentence Sylvia added to the original post was that the wiki was intended to replace her list: “We have switched to a wiki format for the Master List of Reading Journals.”

Truly I don’t care if we have 2 lists (or even 10). I just wanted to throw out the thought that it’s a lot of extra work for one person to maintain a list that only they can edit, when we have the same list available in a format that everybody is free to edit. It’s linked to on the main group page where it’s easy to find, or people could star this thread and use the link is in the first post if they prefer to access it that way.

>155 YouKneeK: Or is the plan just to create a new post with no list but rather with a link directly to the wiki so that it’s less confusing for people who miss the first sentence and subsequent link and just jump straight to the out-dated list? If so, that makes way more sense to me. :)

>156 YouKneeK: Yes, we need people to stop looking here. My plan was to just cut and paste from the current list, but linking to it is probably a better idea. So thank you for that.

It's already linked to on the group page, but people seem to have trouble finding it, and I am not allowed to make the font different sizes, just bold.
