Do You Have A Reviewed Bookshelf?

[Arch , Mod]

Do you have a reviewed bookshelf or something similar? This morning, I’d thought about a way to keep track of books that draws a review out of me, so I’ve added a reviewed bookshelf. I already had ratings bookshelves.

No, I don't have a "reviewed" bookshelf. If I want to see the books I've reviewed, I just sort on the "review" column. I have a "review" column in my "my books" layout.

I have been on Goodreads for a very long time and I didn’t know about the review column. I’m still going to keep my reviewed bookshelf, because it’ll show me how many books I have reviewed and when I click on it, it’ll only list the books that I have reviewed. The review column does show the review for a book that I have reviewed, but if I click on the column, it will not just show me the books that I have reviewed, it will list all my books.

No I don’t have a dedicated review category. I just wanna know what I read and when I read it and what genre it’s in. Sometimes I feel a need to review but not always.

Ah. Ok. Whatever works best for you is always the way to go. If I want to see what I’ve reviewed, I just sort by review in descending order and all of my reviews will show first (before books I haven’t reviewed).

If a book gets a 4 or 5 stars from me, I am going to write a review. A lower rating might get a review.

Ok.

No, I don’t have a reviewed bookshelf because I already have 1 billion gazillion shelves already🤣. However, if I want to see all of the books I’ve reviewed, I use the GR App. Go to “My Books-Read. Then I change “Sorted By” Heading, to WROTE A REVIEW. I can reverse the time from the latest to the present and vice versa. You can sort by Author, Ratings, etc.

If people only have very few shelves, then I think it would be worth having a review shelf. My shelves lean toward descriptive topres, so it’s extensive. BTW, the heading changes under books read described above, IS ONLY AVAILABLE VIA THE APP, as far as I know.

I have a lot of shelves and when one comes to mind, I add it. I don’t write a review for every book that I read. I tend to write a review for my 4 and 5 stars ratings and if I feel that I have something to say for a lower rating book, I will write a review.

I think it’s a great idea Arch. I’m even considering it because I usually use my iPad, instead of my desktop computer. I get different features if I go through Safari than I do if I use the GR App. Maybe a review shelf would be good. Also, I don’t have a 5 star shelf, either. Thanks for indicating that you do. I think I’m going to do a major overhaul of my shelves.

You are welcome. I have a shelf for every star rating. I even have a Did not finish shelf too - I just thought about changing the name to Could not finish, because sometimes I do come across books that causes me not to finish them and they become give away books - I have a shelf for that too. I even have shelves for authors, whose books I like reading.
