Hi folks,
Granted I just did this swiftly, but have a question.
Is there an option in say your my-bookshare profile to produce only works in English?
I decided to first check again for cursed child <sigh I know it is coming!> then to see if the next e. l. James work was in the collection.
One title I already have, Grey, seemed to be missing now, but it might be there in another language, Spanish perhaps. In fact when I checked the author, of the 13 items that appeared most were in Spanish. That is amazing, but I am not fluent, so would prefer the search produce English titles. is this a choice?
As I write I realize I might have missed Grey because I searched e. l. James, with her perhaps showing up differently.
What about language though?
Thanks,
Karen

Well, in the case of looking through new books on Bookshare, you can create your own "weather" by using the Advanced Search as several others have suggested. Wading through tons of books one has no interest in is a choice, not a necessity.

      I hope you are right. I've found these trends before, but they
didn't seem to go on for so long. Maybe it really will rain today.

Hi all,

The type of book which is "new" on Bookshare is like the seasons or
like the weather.  Some weeks you get an influx of nonfiction,
technical books, and then the next week you are drowning in romances or
mysteries.  We say here in Rochester, NY, that if you don't like the
weather, wait half an hour and it will change.  Same is true for the
new books on Bookshare.
