Holy crap.
I'm being plagued by a book about the plague.
I have an account with Shelfari. It's one of those sites where you record the books you've read. I use the website, and I also use the apps on both of my blogs. You can see it if you look to the little side area.
Anyway, after you finish reading a book, you mark it read, and then it disappears from the blog app.
I tried to do this with The Plague, and later when I went to look at my blog, I saw it was still there.
I didn't think much of it. Sometimes I forget to tell Shelfari that I've finished reading the book. So I went back to do that. A little while I come back, and The Plague's still there! I keep trying to unmark the box that says "Currently reading" and it's not working!
Is that book going to be stuck on my "currently reading" bookshelf forever?
Well, just did a little test. I lied to Shelfari and said I finished reading the books I'm currently reading, and they won't let me say I've finished those either.
Maybe they know I'm lying and they're against that.
And maybe they know I rushed through the last chapters of The Plague, because I wanted to get my butt to the library before it got too hot outside.
Shelfari has accepted my unchecking of the "currently reading" box for Carrie Lane's Cat Haus. I think that was my first time reading an erotica book, and I gave it my full attention. I didn't do the same for The Plague, and maybe Shelfari knows that.
Maybe for now on, I'm only going to get credit for reading books that I give my full attention to. If I daydream through half a book or rush through it, maybe Shelfari's going to refuse my insistence that I've completed the read.
Or maybe Shelfari's mad that I've started an account on Goodreads. I think I like Goodreads better than Shelfari, because three people there have my novel Thirty Cats on their shelves, and they all gave me at least a 4 star rating. The only one who has Thirty Cats on their Shelfari shelf, is me...myself. That's kind of sad. No...actually. That's a lot sad.
I might have to get rid of the Shelfari app, and get the Goodreads one instead. The only thing is I don't want to be retroactive on Goodreads. I've decided to add only books that I've read since joining. So I don't want to lose my connection to Shelfari, because it has a lot of my past reading recorded.
Now I'm wondering if I should only record on Goodreads and keep Shelfari as my reading history. Or should I continue to record my reading on both Shelfari and Goodreads?
Well, I just realized Shelfari's owned by Amazon, and Amazon's the one that's going to be nice enough to publish my new novel for free. So I feel I need to be at least somewhat faithful.
I'll keep using both sites.
