Or is it private? What about the TBR list?

Thanks.

Both are not public.  But I wish my BIR list was, as I'm kind of proud of it.  :)

I'm wondering IF since with TAGS you can pull up all the books with that TAG then if a  person TAGS all their TBR books and all their BIR books then others could see both lists?

 

if anyone wants to look at my TBR shelf (TBR-clh) or my BIR (already read - clh) feel free.  If you see something on my TBR list that you are interested in let me know and I'll read it sooner if someone else hasn't already spoken for it.

nope, you can't see the TBR or BIR lists.  I have mixed feelings about it but probably wouldn't mind

If you know what tag a particular person uses then yes you could just click on those tags.

Something I have noticed however is that, on my TBR and BIR lists, it shows if someone has one of those books on their wish list. I like this feature - a lot - because, if I decide I'd rather not read the book after all, I can just put it on my bookshelf and it will let the user that wants it know that it's available. I've gotten rid of quite a few books this way. I hope this makes sense - if not PM me and I'll try harder to explain. If you look at your TBR and BIR lists, you might see a 'W' or a 'W' with another letter. This lets you know that someone has that book wishlisted. Then you can decide if you want it or not.

It's always worth it to put your books on a wish list or reminder list - you just never know when they'll come available.
