2 quick questions, multibook review & sub-shelving

[J.]

Hi
There are so many places to post at GR I thought to post this here where the rule-enforcers dwell (and yes surely it's not the exact right place to post, but maybe it could still be addressed...)

These are both user-friendliness questions.

1. Would it not make sense to allow goodreaders to write reviews that refer to two or even three books at once ? There are many single works out there that could be more profitably reviewed in the wider frame of a multibook review. (although, yes, how to catalog, not sure what would be wise) There are numerous titles out there that are parts of trilogies or quartets (which GR can't really accommodate as such).

2. Would sub-shelves in "My Books" be hard to set up ? So that say, a user's large Mysteries shelf could have an Agatha Christie sub-shelf along and also a Conan-Doyle one ? It would make the central user interface-- the Shelves -- so much more functional and clearly categorized ...
Thanks,
J.

Hi J. The best place to discuss GR policies is the Feedback Group

1. You can do that by reviewing omnibus editions. Many people review/rate the omnibus and then each single book separately [or the other way around]. You can make exclusive[or not] shelf for books that you are just rating separately, repeating reviews, books you own, reviewed books and etc.
Personally I have no idea how you suggestion would work.

2. Sub-shelves and boolean shelves are a hot topic (and something we all hope for). You can read more in any of those topics:
Sub-shelves search result
Boolean shelves search result
This is the more popular tread

Currently your have two options:
* separating your books on many different shelves and then using the Selecting multiple shelves option, or
* exporting your books from here and sorting them in excel or similar program.
