Classics Without All the Class discussion

What did you guys think of the breakdown of your 2015 reads in the Year in Books on the site? I think it's cute and motivating to see all the different things that you read throughout the year,but I'm a girl who likes stats and book covers, so it is right up my alley.

I like it a lot! I am the same, I just love lists and stats. I've read more than 18.000 pages so far, but I think Goodreads doesn't count rereads. So with the Harry Potters I've read this month (for the 20th time) and the books I still have to finish before the end of the year, I think will have read more than 20.000 pages. Lets see if I can beat that next year!

I think it's a great idea but, obviously, one that can only give out what you've put in. I've added a ton of books this year, but neglected to put finish dates, so it says the only book I've read is the Bible, which is way off. Lesson learned!

It doesn't count re-reads unless you change the date on reading it, which moves it from where it was before. I've had those months where it looks like I've read nothing, but as a serious book lover, most people re-read at least on of their favorites a year, I'd say.

Yeah, it took me a while to learn that function after it was added. You can go back and just change the year, or month now if you want, on all your reads this year.

If you keep track of your currently reading, it will automatically track the date finished when you mark it as finished.

Good to know, thanks!

I would hope that re-reads are included without changing days, I'm too lazy (even make own re-read shelf them). Thinking all those year stuff, like Spotify, I think Goodreads Year in books could have been little more detailed, maybe your most used shelves or something. But it was nice I guess, I don't remember their done anything like that last year?

There was something, but it might have just been challenges. It seems so long ago.

As I've been adding books that I've read this past year, I chuckled when I saw that they gave the "HIGHEST RATED ON GOODREADS" award to a book that only I have rated and reviewed! It seems like they might want to rethink the algorithm they use to determine that. :)

I like your idea Shanea. It is fun to see what others read.
