The developers are allowed to work on whatever they want on Fridays.

And those numbers are weird, I agree."
Yours doesn't parse well beca..."
Trouble is Sophocles wrote in BC 400's so I can't fix that which isn't broken, Deborah.
But thanks anyway :)


Oh, was that why GR was wonky this weekend?

Though I don't like the missing button beside groups and my books. More clicking required to get where I wanna go.


ETA: Ok, the recs section is sweet! But, could they have just added that without messin' with the rest that were well set up?

You can try out the new button for shelving books here:

Again, thanks for sharing!






Is there a way to exclude genres in the recommendations?"
Not everywhere you can click to get recommendations (for starters individuals can recommend books to you) but a limited option in the recommendations goodreads sends you -- go to "My Books" and "edit" your shelves to see a column where you can check whether or not a shelf gets recommendations.
Doesn't let you do things like filter out YA or other specific genre books but should be showing the genres related to the shelves checked. Certain books on goodreads a group of members seem to delight in flooding all shelves and genres with (no clue why).
I usually find it easier to click shelf and genre names (or "explore by genre") and checkout genres I like. Which still seems to always keep the same old bestsellers front and center.
Has anyone found a way to block shelves from sharing to facebook? Currently I have a delightful mess of " ugh do not buy", "could not finish" and "not for me" shelves loaded to facebook as my favorite books.

I'm not sure why this is the only one I've rec'd considering there have been many new releases on my shelf. That said, it would be nice (I think) to get emailed on the birthday/release day of my wishlist books.
Anyone else get this? What do you think? Too much GR mail or keep 'um comin'?


The list of books coming out (though admittedly only from authors I've already got) is in the Monthly GR NL and I frequently see something there I've forgotten to preorder or wasn't available to preorder, so I grab it. That's good enough for me.


I received this email the other day too and when I went to look at it on GR, it wasn't on my TBR shelf. I had no interest in the book whatsoever!

GR Blog's announcement: /blog/show/4...

You just enter the book name or isbn and you should see prices from a number of sources: Amazon, Apple, Google, Kobo, and so on. (Obviously only wherever the ebook is available.)
I found this very useful!

Wow! That's an awesome site! Thanks for sharing. :)





No one really complained before. GR was always buggy and I don't think it was as big a deal as some of their other bugs.


Yup. That was annoying.



And... just noticed the color of the message bar is yellow with a bold highlighted "Moderator" slapped on it whenever we post in our groups. Huh. Guess it's good if you're scanning for a mod's response to a question or something. Otherwise, kinda glaring and somewhat distracting for me.

Very distracting if you are just posting in the threads to chat.
And once again it just appears, I was over in Feedback last night and didn't see any mention of it, or the fix re the books/covers.

Us Mods will have a discussion and decide, but I'm betting it goes :DD
