Sci-Fi & Fantasy Girlz discussion

I've read more sci fi than fantasy, but for all you fantasy nuts, what do you think about that database?

The perfectionist (or maybe just obsessive) in me wants to see this spreadsheet a bit more detailed, having book titles instead of only book series name, all the sub-genres specified, a link to each book on Goodreads, average rating, publication date, number of pages, etc.
I think I got myself a side project :)

Of course that only means I love this list.

Well, if the perfectionist in you wants to do the work, we'll post your database on here as well. :P

Me, I'm too lazy.

Haha. I can understand that. I'm a formatting freak though. Also, this is apparently put in alphabetical order of the author's name and yet the first name of the author comes first in the list. That looks a bit odd.
But like I said, I'm a formatting freak so please ignore me. xD Functionality is more important than looks (I better use this sentence in some writing, ohhh).

This list reminds me that I need to read more fantasy books. Or more books in general. Ahhh. More books! This list is a good guide for what to read.

Edit:
A thing I don't know if Google docs can do this: Freeze the first line so it scrolls down with you. I don't know how it is with other people, but I quickly forget what the first line says.

I don't know either. Its not my list (way to lazy/time constricted) to do that, but I do appreciate those who put it together. I am a list person, I have made a few of my own (not anything like that, just personal reading stuff) so I know how much work went into that. I guess the saying, "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" seems applicable in this situation.

Yeah that can be done. This link will take you to an edit view where you can see the frozen first row (at least on the first worksheet).

I sent a message to the person who compiled the list and asked if they could also freeze the header on the second worksheet.

It will take me some time but I will do it eventually. Sounds like a great weekend project, now only if I had weekends free.

I love lists, I was compiling a list similar to this one but definitely not as long. A list as long as this one would benefit from more filtering/cross referencing.

Then of course from our bookshelf we could do a similar one for sci-fi!

Let me know if you ever do a project like that and if you need help. I'm sure posting on here a request for help will find you volunteers. (At least me and maybe others.)
