2020: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

We’re still a month away from the end of the year, but my reading will probably consist mainly of Christmas books in December, and I hope and pray that life won’t come up and throw anything else at me in the final month of the year, either.  So I might as well post my “Year […]

BookLikes (and Legimi), is this really all you’ve got?

“The site is live and running again. No other features are planned in the nearest future. The performance will be looked into depending on the problems and the availability of resources. Sorry for any inconvenience.“ Comment on BookLikes’ Facebook page, last night (July 13, 2020).   Sorry, but that just isn’t good enough. Not any […]

Good news

Reblogged from: Lillelara So far Booklikes has run very fast for me today, which made me suspicious. So I tried to check up on the domain and due to certain circumstances, I ended up on another page than the one Themis-Athena has mentioned previously.   The good news is, double checked by Themis-Athena and found […]

BookLikes Newbie Wondering Whether to Stay

See: booklikes.com/thread/4818/should-i-bother-with-booklikes?p=0#thread-post Looking at her blog, I instantly decided to follow her; I also posted a link to her blog in the “New BL Blogs to Follow” group.  In the space of a single day, she’s pretty much nailed the site’s issues such as they present to someone who’s just signed up, but instead of […]

New BookLikes “Admin Issues” Group

As the “official” BookLikes group has been swamped by unchecked waves of spam, I’ve decided to create a replacement group for us to address the issues that we’d otherwise post in the “official” group: BookLikes Admin Issues Since it’s member-managed, it of course won’t cause any issues to actually be fixed.  But let’s face it, […]

English language reviews

Reblogged from: Literature. Coffee.   I actually just found out about this site. I’m very late, I know. I have been reviewing my read books on my website on doodlefondue, but I’ve written it in Dutch language. And because I have signed up on this site, I thought to make it English language reviews. I don’t […]

Work-Around for “Date Read” / “End Reading” Setting

As Moonlight Reader and Darth Pony Pedant noted, there’s a bug in the system that currently doesn’t let you record any reading end dates beyond 2019 (i.e., from Jan. 1, 2020 onwards).  This is systemic, i.e. will have to be fixed by BookLikes or their outsourced helpers, HOWEVER, for the time being here’s an easy […]

Some thoughts on dealing with Spam – UPDATED

Reblogged from: Peregrinations   (Updated 12/4/19 with additional thoughts shared in the comments) I’ve been thinking about this.   Spam is the bane of our existence. We all hate it.

Finding More Blogs to Follow, Part 3 — a Revival of “Follow Fridays”?

Reblogged from: Themis-Athena’s Garden of Books Reblogging this to ask for further comments on the current thinking (see additions at the end of the post): Interviews moving from blogger to blogger, with the interviewee of one week becoming the interviewer the following week. This should (hopefully) also help in letting the interviews move away from […]

#Follow a Newbie (or any blog with few followers….really)

Reblogged from BrokenTune Hi, I’m just sharing this again as there seem to have been a number of new members to the BookLikes community.

Help me show this newcomer to BL some love, please?

Reblogged from: Grimlock ♥ Inhumans Here she is.   I like to keep up with people who are amazing, and who read what I don’t read.   So far, this looks like another booklover, who reads what I don’t. Basically: looks amazing, I get to keep up with another genre/more genres, while reading what I love […]
