Katie | 2360 comments In past read-a-thons, we’ve sorted our TBR shelves. For today's game, we're going to sort our Read shelves. (This will be fun for you spreadsheet & data people.)

I'm sure many of you already know how to sort your shelves, but just in case you've never done it before:

Instructions: To sort your Reads, you'll need to go to your Read shelf. Above your list (next to the search bar) there are some links for Batch Edit, Settings, Stats, and Print. We just want the Settings one so click that. Now you should see a list of columns. Checking the boxes will allow you to see more info about your to-read books.

In order to play along, you're going to need to put a check in the num ratings box, the rating box, the num pages box, and the date pub box. Hit the close button in the lower right-hand corner when you've done that.

Now you can sort and play along! Click on any of the column headers (like num pages or date pub, for example) to sort your list in ascending or descending order for that particular header.

And now, tell us:

1. How many books are on your Read shelf?
2. What is the book with the most ratings?
3. What is the book with the fewest ratings?
4. What is the highest rated book?
5. What is the lowest rated book?
6. What is the longest book?
7. What is the shortest book?
8. What is the oldest book (publication date)?
9. What is the newest book (publication date)?

message 6: by Jody (new)

Jody (jodybell) | 3477 comments Emily, I wonder if your list was wonky like mine - The Hunger Games was showing as top for me, but it actually had 200k less ratings than Harry Potter.


message 7: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 563 comments 1. How many books are on your Read shelf?
I have 1071 books that I've read.

2. What is the book with the most ratings?
For some reason, sorting by number of ratings doesn't display my books in order. The book at the top of the list is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins with 5.7 million ratings, but the next book down is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling with 5.9 million. And although the list goes in a general downward trend, there are still several others out of order - Mockingjay with 2.0 million is between The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Help with 1.89 and 1.88million, The Book Thief with 1.6 million is between Fahrenheit 451 and Little Women with 1.4 and 1.5 million, and so on.

3. What is the book with the fewest ratings?
The lower ratings seem a little more accurate in their sorting, although there are still some glitches.
My lowest rated books are both written by local authors, and have 4 ratings each - I Know Who Killed Betty Shanks by Ted Duhs and Antarctic Sundays: a cooking adventure in a remarkable place by Zane Hacker.

4. What is the highest rated book?
My highest rated book is also Antarctic Sundays: a cooking adventure in a remarkable place at 4.75★

5. What is the lowest rated book?
The lowest rated is What Will Survive by Joan Smith at 2.50★

6. What is the longest book?
Firefly Summer by Maeve Binchy is my longest book at 928 pages.

7. What is the shortest book?
It's a little more difficult to work out my shortest book because a lot of the audiobooks put in 1 page for each hour of listening - so a 16 hour audiobook might have 16 pages listed. Obviously it takes a lot less time than an hour to read a page, so I can't work out the logic of that.
Anyway - allowing for audiobooks, my shortest book is the novella/short story, The Christmas Gift by Monica McInerney. The shortest "ordinary" book on my list is 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff at 97 pages. However I feel almost certain the edition I read was longer than 97 pages... I probably selected the wrong edition.

8. What is the oldest book (publication date)?
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift - 1726

9. What is the newest book (publication date)?
Officially - according to my read list sorted by date published - my most recently published book is The Lost Man by Jane Harper - 23 October 2018, however I had a lot of "unknown"s in the date published column and I know that The True Story of Maddie Bright by Mary-Rose MacColl, which was one of the unknowns in the date published column was published on April 1st, 2019, and I think that's the most recently published book I've read. The strange thing is, when I click on any of the books with "unknown", the book page has a date of publication listed! So no idea why it isn't populating that field!

Snap, Emily! But did you notice that the Harry Potter actually has more ratings? Even though it's below The Hunger Games?

I posted the same comment to Emily just a couple of minutes after you, Jody! I'm glad it isn't just me! And it continues down through the list - for me, at least!

Wait that's so weird! Now I'm seeing it... I was surprised that Hunger Games would be ahead of Harry! Thanks for pointing that out!

Kathryn, I did the same thing with my shortest book... I had a couple of picture books and a short story that were on there, but I just skipped to the first full book I saw, which was Charring Cross.


message 12: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 563 comments Emily wrote: "I just skipped to the first full book I saw, which was Charring Cross..."

It's about 6 years since I read it, but I feel sure it was thicker than 97 pages, and I see some editions have about 150 pages, which feels like that would be closer to the truth... However, 6 years ago, I probably didn't worry too much about which edition I selected in GR!
