Great news my friends:

Yesterday I contacted GoodReads via Twitter with the question if they were going to add GROUPS (much like we know them from *cough* GoodReads *cough*. It is a feature that I really miss here.

BookLikes were very quick to respond with the affirmative:

Soon BookLikes will add GROUPS to this site!

I find this a very exiting prospect!  Surely I cannot be the only one! :-)

Now, mind you, I have no information about when this much desired feature will be added, but I will be looking out for it it closely, especially on Thursdays :-)

And oh, there's a rumour going on that a mobile App will be launched shortly - again, I have no data on the date, but I just wanted to spread the rumour! ;-)

Feel free to pread the word!

We’re happy to announce that we have prepared two new features for you: half star rating system and adding new pages.

ERGO: MAKE A PROFILE/ABOUT ME WITHOUT MESSING WITH HTML!

(*Yes, I feel like a total idiot now. Not that it took huge effort, but still... I give up. I'm hopeless.

*this wasn't a part of the original post*)

Rose's Notes: Guys, I'm reblogging this because someone asked about having to add static pages (About Me, Profiles, Review Policies, etc.) on a profile: this is the function of pages on site, as far as I can tell. Read onward from this post from BookLikes staff to find out more about it and the half-star feature.

It’s time to finish up this week with some great news. As always we present you several new functions on BookLikes. Let’s see what we’ve got here this time.

This Thursday brings multi shelves, fast way to follow and invite your Facebook friends, social share buttons on your blog posts and "back to top" on Dashboard.

Putting books on many shelves was very desirable function and we’re happy to make it available :-) So now book collecting can be easier and even better arranged. How to put books on many shelves? Just create  shelves of your choice on your virtual Shelf and then pick appropriate ones while editing your books.

From now on you can also easily Follow and Invite your Facebook friends. 

Just connect your Fb account in Settings and your friends will be visible on Dashboard. Then you can start following them or if they aren’t already on BookLikes, invite them via Facebook.

You can also find other avid readers and your friends on Explore page where you see BookLikes community adjusted to your language version and on Find Friends page where you can search people via their names, usernames, blog names or email. Or Invite friends by inserting e-mail in Invite box (Dashboard, on the left). 

Your writing will also get additional social component: share buttons that can be added to your posts and reviews on your blog. Then your guests and blog visitors can easily spread the word and share your writing. Share buttons are optional, you can decide whether you want to add them or not. To switch them on go to your Settings/Blog and tick options in Social networks spot. Share and Like buttons will appear next to your blog posts. 

Last but not least point today is a tip: how to reach the top the fastest way? Just click “back to top” on Dashboard :)

More thrilling updates will be revealed soon :-)
