Where are you reading? I am currently in Indonesia reading Beauty is a Wound.

[Lesley]

I was in London reading [b] Asunder by Chloe Aridjis [/b].

[punxsygal]

I'm toggling between Bangkok in Cockroaches by Jo Nesbo and New York City in Murder in Little Italy by Victoria Thompson.

[Denizen]

I'm in the Brazilian backlands in Victoria Shorr's Backlands and then back into modern times with A Visit from the Good Squad.

The italics worked for me but I also used < as opposed to [

Backlands OK - you have to use < before the command and > after the command.

I enjoyed Cockroaches when I read it. I went on a bit of a Nesbo kick after that. I like Harry Hole.

I'm currently somewhere in England at an old coal mining town named Stoneygate. Kit is learning about the history of his family and the coal mine. Kit's Wilderness by David Almond.
I also hop on a time machine to Seattle, Washington (MC living on a houseboat). It's 1959 and I'm learning about a dark secret.
Morning Glory by Sarah Jio.

So far this month I've been to:
I've revisited Rose, Oregon in the middle of the North Atlantic Collingswood, New Jersey McKinney and Dallas, Texas

So I'm curious how do you post links like kit's Wilderness?

I enjoyed Dead Wake last year.

[Lesley]

I have ticked 'Notify me...', but it's not happening, yet.. Anyone's shelves arrived yet?

[Lesley]

OOH I am enjoying being in San Francisco , via Montana, in The Given World by Marian Palaia .. JUST the pace and style I like

I moved the bulk of my shelf a year or so ago and have been keeping it reasonably updated ever since so can't speak to that.

I am getting notifications. I came here through an email message.

Notifications don't seem to be a problem for me either.

[Lesley]

There is some confusion that may be fixed now that I have updated my profile. No notifications and asking me to sign in, then not recognising my email etc etc... Yes, I think I might have to relocate from amazon.com to amazon.com.au so that it can stop getting tangled.. It's all learning.. I am enjoying the new features, immensely..

To update my profile I had to sign in with my FB password...go figure..

Loved his first book. I was lucky enough to see him after reading it. There is a possibility that I will see him again, this month so wanted to be sure to read the book. I just need to talk somebody into going with me.

I saw you gave it 4 stars - are you planning to write a review?

I'm commencing exploring Cape Ann, Massachusetts in The Last Days of Dogtown.

Well, that worked nicely.

I find I prefer the title in text to the book covers. The book covers take up too much space and I have to hover over them to see what they are. What did you do to create the clickable link?

[Denizen]

I'm off to Amsterdam and New York with Donna Tart's The Goldfinch. (Not a clickable link:-(

When making a comment: At the top of the box is the add book/author feature. So I clicked on that when I was ready to add the title in my comment. Typed in the title. At the bottom of that dialogue box is the choice to pick link or cover.

OOPs am I in the right place? If not, sorry.. Just wanted to say I enjoyed The Last Days of Dogtown

I need to read something by him.

[Booknblues]

I think if we keep the person we are replying to and the book title that will help us to follow discussion easier even if we are not nested.

[Lesley]

Tell or remind me how to do that, please BnB

[Lesley]

BnB : re Kent Haruf Eventide seems this is a follow on from Plainsong, and I had ordered both. Waiting for the latter..

Such gentle, kind writing.

[Beth]

I am currently in Sydney, actually and bookishly. Reading "The Butterfly Prison" by Tamara Pearson. Grim reading.

I really enjoy Haruf's books - only have the last one yet to read.

I actually love grim reading sometimes.

I've jumped back to Tokyo during WWII with The Street of a Thousand Blossoms by Gail Tsukiyama.

Are you liking Paw and Order? I hope you at least get a few laughs from it.

Yes, I am getting a few laughs from it, and might even read more of them when I need a light, humourous read.

I am in Berlin in A Guide to Berlin Gail Jones ..heard an interview on our Radio National, and figured I liked her 'voice'... Thrilled to have 'found' a well-regarded Oz writer that I hadn't previously heard about.

So you're suggesting we delete everything from the italicized area except the person posting and the book title? (Unless we are specifically replying to a statement in the post?)

[Booknblues]

Denizen wrote: "So you're suggesting we delete everything from the italicized area except the person posting and the book title? (Unless we are specifically replying to a statement in the post?) "

I think that helps to make things a little easier to follow in discussions where we have several books and ideas mentioned.

I try to remember to copy, what I am specifically attempting to reply to otherwise. It gets confusing when you think you are responding to someone and you get someone else's name in the post, since we do not have nesting.

[Denizen]

I've been trying to do that, too, but it can be tricky in a longer discussion. It can be difficult to find your original place after you've made a post.

I definitely think we need to keep discussions shorter than we have in the past (and stay on topic better as this particular post has nothing to do with mapping your reading. Arrrgghhh!)

I used to be a part of a forum which didn't have nesting and it went pretty well, but when two people would go off topic as we are doing somebody would usually tell them to start a new thread.

Right now, we are still in the figuring things out stage and hopefully we will work the kinks out soon. I like how PBT set things up and for somethings we can use them as an example.

This is a 5 star book, for fussy me. Will we start a thread for our 2016 faves, BnB..

I usually do it a little further into the year. But maybe we can try a new way to introduce this topic.
