Goodreads All Sorts discussion

This thread is for news and features of goodreads. Feel free to post tips and news about goodreads if it hasn't already been posted.

http://www.goodreads.com/series is a (non listopia) list I just found today. It's not sortable, but it's cool to see just how many series are in the GR database. I bet the GR librarians make real use of it!

Fans of series, explore this:

Note how you can get from one series to another, related, series, by clicking on something that doesn't necessarily even look clickable!

Feel free to share your discoveries.

Ever post a review and then later see a note at the bottom that says something like"(3 people liked it)"

Even though the "liked it" count is in black, you CAN click on it and see just who has "liked" your review.

Ever care to read a book set in a particular place?

Just click on any of the gold setting links shown in a books detail information to see other books set there...

or follow this link for a list of places.

The data is far from entirely complete but if a book doesn't have the proper location listed it can be added upon request by a librarian.

I've found that most major works are already properly set and I add any locations I find to be missing as often as I can.

Wow, that's a great feature.

Ever wonder what others are reading right now?

Go to the bottom of your currently reading shelf and click on the green "More books shelved as 'currently-reading' » " link.

The current top favorite isPride and Prejudice followed by James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing

I can't find a link for New Orleans, LA. (my hometown) And I know there are many books written that take place in New Orleans.

You mean THIS New Orleans? http://www.goodreads.com/places/931-n...

I admit that they could make finding a place name easier...

Thank you so much Stephen.

If you like taking quizzes on this site be sure to click on the final submit button once and then wait for a response. Clicking twice may cause your results to get lost... sort of. I'm guessing that first set of answers is transmitted and recorded for your score but the second click sends an empty set of answers giving you a results page that shows none of your choices.

If you haven't tried the quizzes here, but would like to, may I suggest you try my six word summaries quiz. Even terser than Cliff's notes!

if you have any Nook e-reader by Barnes & Nobles with app capabilities you can download Goodreads as a mobile app so you can read your book and update where ever you are. Its easy to navigate too. as a 14 year old though I am an electronic nerd so it miht not be as easy as I put it to be lol
