Request: New Shelfs

[Bryan]

I was looking through the official Goodreads Sword and Laser bookshelf and while we have them grouped by years, march madness, member vote and event alt pick. I notice the most glaring omission, we do not have them grouped by the official sword and official laser picks and I think the addition of these shelves would be most welcomed.

Forgive me if this topic has been previous discussed, I could not find it with my quick pre search.

There is a wiki with every book listed and more info than you'll ever need/ Click on the book title

I added an "official-pick" shelf. All 116 books have been added.

I didn't make 2 separate shelves, as some books will fall into both or arguably into an opposite one from which it is placed.

Yeah I had a thought that it may be hard to define some of the picks as Sword or Laser as either could be argued.

Thanks for the official pick shelf thou.

Even if the book itself is mixed sword/laser, Tom and Veronica do make the official pick, so at the very least it could be "Tom/Laser-pick" vs. "Veronica/Sword-pick."

It can get a bit messy with too many shelves.

We have had Tom/Sword picks (All the Birds in the Sky)
and Veronica/Laser picks (The Martian)

and a fair few of the books (20) were picked jointly after a discussion by both V&T

We've had 1 book picked by a Kickstarter contributor.

I do have on the Wiki, a brief description, by who and (sometimes) how the book was picked.
