Cant believe this isn't available already.

Hi.
It's available. You can send messages from Messages Page [url="URL"]http://booklikes.com/messages[/url] where you can select from whom you want to receive messages: followings, followers, both. Then you can PM your Followings and Followers if their settings allow this.

when I click on the message page, I have the above marked with followers and followings but when I actually put in the username or blog title in someone who is following and followers it won't let me start a new message. It always tells me username or blog title "nothing found". I have asked this before but I keep getting the same info on how to get to the message page, but I have only been able to send 1 message to one author. everyone else I can't message.

@Brenna M's Book Blog: In order to successfully send a personal message to a given blogger, he/she should have selected the message settings that allow to receive a message from followers.

I really wish there was a way to message people even if you don't follow them or vice versa. Just because I want to talk to someone privately doesn't necessarily mean I want to follow them. And then users can have privacy options to decide if they are willing to accept messages from users they aren't following or following them.

Thanks for the info. I have won several of the giveaways and like to notify the authors when I receive the books. The books I have won, I've gotten not only notification that I won, but a notification from the author/publisher that the book has been shipped (all except 1 book, which I still received within 2 weeks). I think this is wonderful that most authors/publishers here on Booklikes do that and haven't seen it on any other site. Difference is I can msg the authors on other sites, but not here. I am thrilled when I win the books, so I like to be extra considerate back to the author with not only a review, but a personal thank you as well.

Thanks for these suggestions! :)

You can't actually read books on this site. This site is just to track the books that you read, post reviews of books and to find new books that you might want to read.
