José Carlos (under_me) | 1 comments Hi guys, can you help me with this? There's a few books that i have read twice, and even three times. Isn't there a way to put them more than one time on my "read" list?

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Under "edit review" there's a field for "Number of times I've read this book" (whether or not you wrote a review, when looking at book page of a book you shelved as "read" you can still click "edit review" to get to.) At same page you can also add any private notes you want if you wanted to note anything more about the re-reads or anything else about the book.

Stefanie (semaiv) | 6 comments When I'm currently re-reading a book I've already read, is there a way to show that? 'Cause the book would be in the currently-reading shelf and not in the read shelf... (If that makes any sense.)

Nairabell | 28 comments Not really - currently reading and read are exclusive shelves so a book can only be on one at a time. I generally let my books move to currently reading and just update the number of times read once I'm done.

I also use the private notes field to keep track of previous read dates as new ones delete the old.

Jenny from Ukraine  | 7 comments You may create a non-exclusive shelf called "re-read" and make it sticky (so that it will appear at the top of the list of your non-exclusive shelves). Every time you re-read a book you can add it to "re-read" shelf and it will remain on your "read" shelf too.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Hey, folks, questions like this are for the Feedback group; librarians can't do anything for user's individual shelves.
