Change is Good(moved from GR writings on my profile page // GR discontinuing Sept 2022)
Some of the things I wish TPTB would fix, tweak, change ...
� Re-Reads
� DONE! @ Feb 2017
Re-reads are a pain to track. Unless you don't mind your read date changing each time your read the book. I'd love to see an option to add re-read dates, in addition to the first read date. I track my books by year (other than GR stats page), so I can shelve/tag them that way. I have also shelved a duplicate copy (different format) to reflect my re-reads. But, while both of these options give me an alternative to simply using GR's "how many times have you read this book" box and changing the date each time, it would be great to have a better way to separately track re-reads.
� Group Bookshelf
This feature sucks. There's no nice way to say it. It's there, that's about it. The plus: we have the option to highlight specific books as "currently reading" and "to-be-read" on the group's homepage. But it seems no forethought was used when creating the rest. Where are the sorting features or batch editing we have on our personal shelves? Couldn't they have been created the same so that any improvements made a personal shelving system/programming could be done simultaneously on group shelving?
� Moving Multiple Threads within Group
I'd LOVE to be able to select multiple threads at once to move simultaneously from one folder to another. This is especially helpful at end of year or the beginning of the new year when I'm organizing and cleaning up my group.
Requested 1 Jan 2020:
� Link from Amazon to ŷ' book page
ŷ links us directly to the book page on Amazon, why can't they do the reverse? Probably because they don't want to; GR to Amazon = $$ ... Amazon to GR = reader convenience zero$
I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, but these are my biggest pet peeves 'round here.
