Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

Holy Cowbells - I'm finally done!

Since my import finished a little more than a week ago, I've been going through all my reviews, adding titles and tags, adding or subtracting half-stars where appropriate and cleaning up the formatting, as well as typos and grammatical errors.  I can't believe how long that took!  Days!  A lot of 'em!

 

But I now have 500+ more-or-less clean, tidy reviews on my BookLikes blog.  It's been fun to see the evolution of my review writing - I started off with short little blurbs of the 'great read!' variety and slowly, slowly started fleshing out my thoughts about the books I've read. 

 

I've also noticed that I use the same words and phrases a LOT.  Must expand vocabulary!

 

The whole exercise has also been a great way to become more familiar with BookLikes interface and navigating the site.  We still need an easier way to find and edit reviews (BL has said this is in the short term plans) and I'd love a way to tell BL to automagically add the book title to my Title bar when I'm writing a review.  But overall, I'm very pleased with how responsive the search function is, how responsive the site is, and most of all, how responsive the staff is.

 

Thank you BookLikes for giving us a wonderful alternative home! 

 

Now, off to clean up shelves....
