Great news for the readers and authors: Author Pages. They are here. BookLikes is happy to present author pages where you can look through author's books (including different language versions), reviews, meet the readers, and find & follow BookLikes Authors. Plus, more new is coming.

Let's get started. To go to author page click author’s name in the book pop up.

It's always great to get to know the author you enjoy reading.  The Author Page shows a short author's bio with additional information, like other webpage, and, of course, a list of books.

There are also new discovery paths on BookLikes. Author Pages present the titles which were shelved most recently on BookLikes, and readers who recently looked up the books. The discovery boxes can be seen on the right. 

You can also easily spot what book genres the author is writing in and find other books from these categories (click the category name to go to BookLikes' Book Catalog).

Author pages of BookLikes Authors also present a link to their blog on BookLikes. You can easily find and follow them to stay up to date with their reading and writing. And we're preparing more special features so don't go far. 

If you wish to see more books by a given author or shelve a book in a different language click see all books on the main Author Page to view all the titles with the language filter. BookLikes' author page will present you the books in eight language versions: English, German, Dutch, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian.

The information on the author pages will be updated gradually, and we're in the middle   of works on new options, like new search via author name, and new features for BookLikes Authors so it's definitely worth to stay close :)

If you notice that some data should be corrected, let us know at bookfix@booklikes.com.

Announcement:

Get ready for Monday reading! On Monday BookLikes will be down for maintenance for several hours. Don't worry and don't go far. We'll be back packed with new energy and ready for new book adventures.

Just reblogging this -- it's a post from about 2 weeks ago, though.  Has anybody had a more recent response to these questions?

I sent an email to BookLikes customer support asking if a few features I'd like are going to be implemented. This has probably been covered elsewhere but I didn't know where. Anyway, I said to them:

• I want to be able to click on an author’s name and see all their books on a page together.
• I want to click on a book and see ALL the reviews and ratings for the book on the SAME page. I don’t want to have to go to each edition of a book, e.g. paperback and Kindle, to see all the ratings and reviews.
• It would be nice to have a dashboard for authors so we can see at a glance how many ratings and reviews our books added to BookLikes have.

The email I got from them said:

"I want to assure you that works are in progress to fulfill all the requests mentioned in your e-mail. For the time being, BL uses book data bases of numerous book sources from all around the world (you can see them all in Settings/Search http://booklikes.com/settings/search and in book search box options) that's why each book edition received its own book page.

"However, for the past several weeks we're working hard on new book data base where all editions of one title will be together and there will be one book page per title (and not per edition) where all ratings and reviews will be visible. This will also allow to present author' pages and all books by a given author. The process requires time and advanced tech systems that's why it cannot be done overnight but I can calm you down it's on its way.

"We want BookLikes to be a comfy place for writers, reviewers, bloggers, readers, all book lovers that's why we're undergoing these big changes and more are in our future plans. We're also planning releasing panel for authors with stats regarding their books on BookLikes, on BookLikes shelves and mentions in BL reviews."

(Bolding for emphasis mine)

Anyway I just wanted to share this with you guys.

Love and smooches, Mona <3
