How about Babylon 5? I forgot I have some of those to read and they fit in with the Tie In Fighter Challenge. There's not very many of them.

*highfives Badseedgirl*

I thought there would be more than 180 of them.

That Doctor Who series is going to keep me occupied for a bit but I had a look at Warhammer and Babylon 5. Warhammer looks... er ...daunting. There's surprisingly few Babylon 5 ones.

Straczynski was a bit stingy when it came to B5 stuff. Almost all of the novels & novelizations were based on outlines by JMS himself so it seems that he has tried to keep a tight hold on his creative control of the property.

As far as Warhammer is concerned...it makes my head spin just thinking about it, especially all of the WH40K. I'm not as familiar with Warhammer Fantasy but I have added one of those books to my TIE-IN Fighter RYO reading list.

And if we're talking about shared universes with plenty of novels, what about Shadowrun? Or if you want another Drgonlance sized task, there's always Forgotten Realms...

177 of them! Well done, that was a heroic effort! Doing 59 Star Trek books at one go was enough to make me cross-eyed (and my wrist hurt for a couple of days).

Yeah, it looks as though there are only 22 Babylon 5 novels and 5 authors to add (and 2 of those are also Star Trek authors). I'll take those on.

I'm a glutton so I will take on Warhammer. I don't get trick-or-treaters because I live out in the middle of the woods

We shall see how far I get.

i have added the first 11 anthologies and books, many of the first listings in ISFDB in the Warhammer series are short stories, so I am able to skip those for now. I have actually gone through 36 entries to find those 11 books, slow going but interesting. I had never heard of "Warhammer" before.

And 31 doctor Who books. Mostly doctors 9 through 12 I think. We'll give Dave some time to catch up now :P

We should hit 15k database entries tomorrow. I think we're only about 20 short right now.

I noticed all those Dragonlance books. Does that mean that other D&D books are on the way? I have some Forgotten Realms, and some Birthright novels.

Also, can we please add Harry Harrison's Planet of No Return? It is the sequel to Planet of the Damned, which is already there. Thanks

Oh, and Ted White's Qanar series? It's just three books. Promise. Thanks

These are in.

There should also already be a bunch of Forgotten Realms books in the database. I think Salvatore has quite a few entries.

New books I just purchased which could go into the database:

Wake of Vultures (book 1 of The Shadow) by Lila Bowen (aka Delilah S Dawson)
The Devious Dr Jekyll (book 2 of the Electric Empire) by Viola Carr

Yes, only the R.A. Salvatore books are in the system. None other in the group.

All right then, I have had enough of Doctor Who for a bit. Moving on the Forgotten Realms. Lots of stuff missing there. Might take a while.

Can someone add Walking the Labyrinth, by Lisa Goldstein which has been missed. It was first published back in 1996 by Tor.

Can someone add the Space 1999 series? At least the Year 2 books? There are only 6 Year 2 books. I'm not sure how many Year 1 books there are - maybe twenty or so?
Thanks!

I put in the year 2 books. It looks very, very dated :P
