Hi Melissa,
I find John's list to be helpful with this. I go through the
uncategorized list each day if I have time, and see if there are any
books that sound good.
Hope this helps,
Sue S.

The publisher quality books are often, if not always, submitted without
any categories selected. I also find this very annoying. Some time ago,
I asked here if someone would be going back and categorizing them, but
never got a response, which I assume to mean no. Since there are so many
publisher quality books being donated, people are going to miss out on a
lot without them being categorized. When I first joined, I simply
browsed a couple of categories that I was interested in. Think how much
I would have missed. Now I usually do a search for something particular,
but if I'm just looking for an interesting book in a particular
category, there's a good chance I'll miss something I would have liked
to have read.

Hello,
I was wondering about something. And I didn't know where else to throw
this out except the volunteer list.
Anyway, just now I clicked on the new to collection page. I was
surprised to see quite a few publisher quality Harlequin books.
The thing is, I didn't remember seeing them earlier, when I cruised
through the romance category Thursday afternoon.
Thinking maybe they were recently added since the date of addition was
5/13/2011 and where I am it's only a little after 1 a.m. Friday morning
as I type this, I thought maybe it was very recent.
However, I clicked to browse the romance category again, and I was
correct. Those books I saw on the new to collection page were not listed
in the romance category. In fact, when I clicked on one of the books
listed on the new to collection page, they didn't have a category
selected at all. Or at least, not that I saw.
Is this a simple oversight or is there a reason for this? I'm just a
little confused because normally when I want a romance, I look at the
romance category page for new additions.
I'll work through this if this is the way. But I'm going to find it a
little more time consuming to check out what's done by Harlequin and
what's a fiction novel with heavy romantic influence. If that makes
sense to everyone. Lol.
Thanks for listening to me ramble,
Natalie
