Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Check out the bookshelf for new reads!


The group's bookshelf has been set up so that you can quickly locate new releases and/or books released in a certain month/year.

Group Shelves
Currently the following shelves help sort the books:
read (410)
currently-reading (1)
to-read (1)
2011-rls (25)
anthology (14)
aug-2010 (50)
bom-reads (2)
dec-2010 (12)
first-book-in-series (211)
july-2010 (27)
june-2010 (27)
may-2010 (30)
nov-2010 (25)
novella (2)
oct-2010 (25)
sept-2010 (40)
trilogy (4)
unknown-rls-date (2)
young-adult (96)

The "date finished" is the date of the book's release. Each book has also been tagged to a specific month/year shelf, except for first-in-a-series.

I have added the first book for each series that has a next-in-series release included on the shelves. This was done in hopes that if a member finds a new release they would like to read, but haven't yet started the series, they can quickly find which book started it all.

I've also tried to separate YA, novellas and anthologies for easy reference.

If you would like to have add'l shelves added to better sort our group's books, please let me know. All members are allowed to add books to the group's shelf, however, I would feel better if I created any new shelves.

Friendly Reminder:
Since this group is dedicated to PNR/UF, please only add books in those genres.


And, as always, please feel free to let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions on how to make the bookshelf (or any part of the group) work better for everyone.

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 2098 comments It might be nice to have some of the major supernat categories listed so if someone was looking specifically for a vampire themed book they could go to that shelf. Right off the top of my head I would suggest: Vampire, Were/Shapeshifter, Witch, Ghost, Demon

Joanne (needsun) | 60 comments Steph, Thanks. You do great work for all of us!

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Daffodil, good suggestion, but it can be rather time-consuming. I'll make ya a deal ... you agree to sort/tag the books already shelved and I'll create the tags/shelves for the different supes. Would that work for you? :D

Laura Lulu (lauralulu) | 1603 comments Steph, if you do that, I'll go in & tag the ones I know.

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Ok, I'll do that now. Thanks, Laura. :D


ETA: Done. Let me know if you'd like me to add another shelf. I included a few others I could think of, but I'm sure as you sort you may find others.

Laura Lulu (lauralulu) | 1603 comments I did all the books I've read or have on my TBR and know the appropriate tags. It was pretty easy, if anyone else wants to go into the group bookshelf and edit the ones they've read, that would be awesome.

You can just scroll down the list and you will see the orange stars for books you've read--

1. Click edit" on the right hand side of the book info
2. Click "choose shelves" and check the boxes for the appropriate shelves
3. Click "Save Group Book" in the bottom left & you're done. :)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Thanks to everyone who's been adding books to our group shelf.

Don't forget, everyone, you are welcome to add your group challenge reads to the group shelf. If you need any assistance with shelving, etc, let us know. We're happy to create new tags, as needed.

Thanks for your help making our group bookshelf a great resource! :)
