Bookshelfs/Challenges


With regard to keeping track of challenges, I've done a couple things, some ideas stolen from others. I added a few more "exclusive" bookshelves, one of which is entitled "on-deck" which means, for me, it is committed to a challenge. (I think I stole this from Auntee.) If I'm covering something you know, forgive me.

You already have three exclusive shelves: "read" "currently-reading" and "to-read" (the last often called TBR in postings); choosing one cancels out its place on another. I assume you know how to add a bookshelf. To make it exclusive you have to go in and edit your bookshelves on your my books screen. (Upper left hand corner.) Note: You won’t see the changes made until you exit the edit screen. If you add "on-deck" and make it exclusive, you will then have four shelves where only one at a time can be checked.

I've also added a "to-ponder" exclusive bookshelf so than when I'm in a PIFM (Pick It For Me) challenge, where someone looks at my TBR shelf, they won't choose a book I am waffling over (one I don't want to spend the money on yet), I'm unsure of the author, or isn't available at my library. I also added a "to-read-series" exclusive bookshelf so that I can keep track of series books separately, or my PIFM partner can nudge me along toward the next one. And, since I listen to audio books, I added a “currently-listening-to�; however I took it off the exclusive bookshelf, due to people not being able to see what I am currently 'reading' on my profile page. Now I click both shelves to make it show. BTW, GR's is thinking of changing this feature as so many people are listening to audio of some kind.

Also for challenges I sometimes mark on the review>edit screen; under Private Notes, I add which challenge the book applies toward. No one else can see these, but they are there when I look at the book on GR.

OOooohhhhh Lisa Kay! Thanks for the tip! This is awesome!
