I have been an avid reader since kindergarten and I used to keep a notebook with all the books I had read and wanted to read listed. This is much easier.

It has now been 25 years since I started working at a public library. I am still at the same library and still love it. I think they will have trouble getting rid of me when the... more »

    Hi Patty, Kathleen and Heather talked about Shelfari last night at the summer reading program - Hope I don't get addicted to this like I am to Ravelry.

    Various members have been reporting similar problems. I've no idea what the problem is or why Shelfari hasn't fixed it yet, but as far as I can see you've done everything correctly. It's best to report this sort of problem through the 'Librarians & Editors' group, Amanda follows that group and will hopefully look into it for you.

    Thanks Patty for answering my question about "a visit from the goon squad". Much appreciated! I will try and get a hold of it in the near future...after getting through what I have :)

    Happy reading.

    Absolutely. Me either. On the contrary, the more one is open to different book genres, the more there is to enjoy.

    Yeah, I tend to be very eclectic in my taste of books--and thank God for that. Thanks very much for your response, Patty. I'll look up those books as well :)

    Thanks for your response to my query about reading “Freedom”. I see from your profile you are a fellow librarian. I’m a librarian here in Ohio. Greetings! I too used to keep a notebook of books I'd read and ones I wanted to read later. I used to tear out reviews from my newspaper and magazines and stick them in the front flap. This site is so wonderful for avid readers.
    I so agree with you about “Freedom” leaving a bad taste in your mouth. In his attempt to have the four main narrators be unflinchingly honest about their feelings, motivations and thoughts the author made them so unpleasant and unlikable I could barely finish the book.
