I have dragged my heels for a long time about joining Goodreads, mostly because I didn't want yet another social media account to track. But since signing up was made so easy through Facebook, I decided, what the heck. It was easy, and I've already found a few of my Facebook friends also posting to Goodreads! To keep with my gardening theme, I looked up one of my favourite books, Frances Hodgson Burnett's "The Secret Garden", and it was fun rating it, and reading all the comments. I usually avoid online comments like the plague ("only a fool reads the comments!" should be a 21st-century proverb), but since these comments were from people who love reading, they were more interesting.
I've made Bibliocommons lists in Vision before, and it was fun to make another. I find the lists are quite easy to make, though I wish there wasn't a limit on the number of items you can add! And I find I have to remember what book I want to appear on top of the list, and remember to add that last. But that's just a little personal quirk.
I've been annoyed by that order of items in lists before, but found if you want to rearrange the order of items on a list in BiblioCommons, there is a little icon with two green arrows (one goes up and one goes down) beside each title. If you click on that you can drag the title up and down to where you want it on the list!
ReplyDeleteThanks! That will be very useful.
