Hi all, just wanted to let you know that we're constantly working on improving and developing BL book database. All your feedback and comments are great and we listen to all your ideas.

Here are some of the updates:
1. You can choose your desirable book edition on Other Editions page. You can easily unshelve the edition (just click the button on the right with your status and choose "Remove from shelf") and then +Shelf edition that you want on your shelf.
2. The option to add new books is back.
3. Book Series are definitely coming.
4. We're working on combining and merging the editions. We're also working on tools for book moderators which will give the ability to combine and edit book info. This will help us a lot in maintaining BL book database well organized.
5. Info who shelved the book on book pages - great idea :) Thank you.
6. We're lucky to have so many great people who want to help us and contribute. Thank you all! :-)
Oh, that's a great idea Petra! With info about the key players - not enough to identify anyone, but general age, interests, job, likes & dislikes.
Do we have the ability to combine a stray book to its "other editions" book page when it does not appear on the main search? I poked around here a little but I can't find an answer. Here's my example

Maybe I'm missing something here. I was shelving Twilight and wanted to shelve the ebook edition. When I searched for the book, the paperback edition came up and it shows that there are 67 other editions. Is there a way, without opening each of the 67 editions, to see which one is the ebook edition?

@The Butler Did It: Hi, you can see all the editions once you click Other Editions heading on the book page. Then you'll be moved to a page with other editions of the title, the book details, including the format, are visible so this should help in searching and shelving the right edition.

Have a look at this link with editions of Twilight: http://booklikes.com/twilight-stephenie-meyer/book,167507?editions

@Lora's Rants and Reviews: Sorry, please give us more details, did you add it manually or via "Shelve it"?
The book is on BookLikes now ready to be shelved: http://booklikes.com/i-morgana-felicity-pulman/book,12870356

Does anyone know how long a draft is kept? Thanks

Thank you.
This is a great feature.

I just wish there were a category for "history" or "non-fiction" in the categories!

@ SusannaG - Confessions of a Crazy Cat Lady: Hi, you can see more categories once you click "see all" on the left. Please follow the links to the History & Non Fiction categories :-)
