Adding and Comparing books with friends

[Myranda]

Three questions/suggestions (sorry;-))

1) I have greatly enjoyed receiving updates from friends, and being able to quickly click the tab to add their books to my list:-) However it seems to be limited to letting me choose the "exclusive" shelves and then I have to "edit my review" to add it to my other catagories. Am I missing something?

2) Also, since I use my list (as many of my friends do) to track what I am reading with my kids as well as my own personal reading, I would like to be able to list a book as "read" (by me) as well as "to-read" (with my kids) -- but apparently I can't make those default shelves non-exclusive...?

3) I was excited to see that when using the "compare books" feature with new friends that it would also show me all the books on their shelves that we *didn't* have already in common:-) -- but it only allows me to "rate" them, which automatically places them on my "read" shelf, when I often want to add them to my "to-read" shelf. If I click to look at each book's page then of course I can add it to whatever shelf I wish -- but more often I just want to quickly add it and continue on.

So if I've missed something *please* enlighten me:-) But if someone hasn't already put those features on the "things-to-do" list I'd appreciate them being included!;-)

THANKS so much - I truly appreciate and enjoy this site!!!:-)

These are all the kinds of questions that are best asked in the Feedback group; this group is for Librarians, who are GR volunteers who fix book records and such. Not the folks who can actually answer your questions . . . ;)
