Krista (findyourshimmy) | 382 comments Okay, so I've found that I really use GR a lot. (Hello, don't we all.) For the most part, I've updated all my book lists here (still have about 150 to add to my TBR, yet).

Well, now I need a way to transport my GR lists with me when I head to the bookstore. If I could take GR with me, I'd be able to know what I own, what series books I'm missing, and I could update by TBR right then and there. Not to mention it would be pretty handy at book club meetings and such.

Charity (charityross) Here's the easiest thing to do:

1. Go into your bookshelves on GR.

2. Select the shelf you wish to view (i.e. "To-Buy" shelf).

3. At the top of the page, under "views", click print.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the page to where there is a drop-down box labeled "per page" and select 200.

5. Print your list.


Hope that helps!

Krista (findyourshimmy) | 382 comments Thanks, Charity! You rock!!!

Charity (charityross) No prob. :-)

Jackie (thenightowl) You can also export your bookshelves onto an excel sheet from GR.

Not sure if I'm linking this correctly:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/import

The only drawback is that it does all your shelves, but because it's in excel you can easily sort and delete through them.

Charity (charityross) Didn't know about that option. Thanks so much, Jackie! I definitely plan to utilize this now!

Linda | 887 comments Ikiwiki, After seeing your TBR list, I hope you have a really long life, orrrrrrrrrrrrrr, figure out how Oscar Wilde did it in The Picture of Dorian Gray. I don't think I have enough years left to read all of the books recommended here.


message 9: by Krista (new)

Krista (findyourshimmy) | 382 comments I know, Linda! I think even if I read all the books I already own, it would take me longer than five years...this doesn't even include the books I WANT to buy now.


message 10: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thenightowl) Your welcome Charity! I figured it out yesterday after reading Ikiwiki's question. I knew that you could import from other sources so I figured there had to be an option for exporting. I think I'm going to start using it since I'm constantly taking a handwritten list with me to the library.

Iki: My list is excessively long also. I am hoping that when I retire and I read a book a day then I can complete reading. worse part is that I keep adding books. I hope I live forever so I can read!


message 13: by Marsha (new)

Marsha Iki: my TBR list is also really long, but I take an odd sort of comfort from that.

I just love looking at other member's lists to add new reads. GR is becoming as comforting to me as walking into a library and touching the shelves.

Jackie (thenightowl) Booooo...my phone is not that sophisticated...well it is, but I'm too cheap to pay for Internet services. LOL.


message 15: by Krista (new)

Krista (findyourshimmy) | 382 comments Internet on the phone... Perhaps I can upgrade my palm pilot to get Internet (and a alphabetic pad) and do GR through that. Oh, a little slice of book heaven!

My TBR list just keeps growing and growing and growing. I just want to read everything! Well, not everything but an awful lot of books and such.
