Trying Fable after seeing a post from @MeganAnn …I‘m not sure about it yet. The description at the bottom of my shelfie is kind-of word salad. Aesthetically, though, I think it‘s got my number!

MeganAnn Fun! Your description is more word salad-ish than mine was… interesting. 🤔 I‘ll be curious to see what you think of Fable if you use a bit more. 1mo
monalyisha @MeganAnn I‘m already using Goodreads, StoryGraph, and (of course), Litsy. So, I‘m interested to see what new angle Fable brings to the table. I still think Goodreads provides the most intuitive organizational features for genrefying your TBR (which I find helpful). But I do like Storygraph a whole lot, too. I wasn‘t sure whether to import my Goodreads data. I‘ve been using it for so long that my TBR is a MESS & a half. But it seems unavoidable. 1mo
MeganAnn @monalyisha I‘m using all of those too which is why I haven‘t really made fable a regular thing yet. But I am following one of the book clubs over there that is run by my favorite bookstagram influencer and I think the book club features are something fable does better than anything else. I also like that I can track tv shows as well since that‘s not something I do anywhere else. (edited) 1mo

MeganAnn @monalyisha I did import my GR data even though it‘s a huge mess… but I just didn‘t want to take the time to do that all manually. One nice thing is that it did bring over all my custom lists and allows me to edit them or create new ones which StoryGraph doesn‘t do yet. I‘m going to keep playing around without for now and try to decide if I want to make it a replacement for GR in the new year or not. 1mo
monalyisha @MeganAnn I don‘t think I have much interest in a book club feature. I suspect I may not use it much. It‘s hard to win me over. 😅 I really only watch TV with my husband (otherwise, I crave silence). So, it may not be for me? But only time will tell! 1mo
MeganAnn @monalyisha I get that! I really only watch tv with my husband and son too… tracking it is a new thing for me. But I like the thought of being able to have a place to put things we want to watch for a future date and see what we‘ve already watched. Especially as we have been rewatching a lot of older shows with our son now that he‘s old enough for them. But for most people that‘s probably not a big deal. 1mo
monalyisha @MeganAnn Actually, making a shelf of TBW might be handy! I definitely just texted my husband about no fewer than THREE shows. (I remembered the movie Sliding Doors earlier, which I was obsessed with when I was 12 or 13. I went down a rabbit hole researching what else the actor John Hannah‘s ever done). 1mo
monalyisha @MeganAnn I have to share the synopsis of this show, A Touch of Cloth, with you. I laughed out loud: “A parody of British police procedural dramas, it stars John Hannah as Jack Cloth, a police detective with personal problems, and Suranne Jones as Anne Oldman, his colleague. The title is a play on the title of the detective series A Touch of Frost and the British expression "touching cloth," a euphemism for a desperate need to defecate.” WHAT?! ? 1mo
MeganAnn @monalyisha 😂 yep that‘s exactly why I decided I needed to start tracking them. I‘m always thinking oh we should watch this and completely forgetting which show it was by the time we get around to looking for something to watch…. Every. Time. 1mo
MeganAnn @monalyisha OMG that synopsis is nuts! 🤣 1mo
Chelsea.Poole I‘ve had fable for a bit but barely (never) use it. If you‘re loving it and active maybe I‘ll make more of an effort! 1mo
monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole I‘ve already deleted it. 😅🙈 1mo
Chelsea.Poole @monalyisha lol! I logged back on to see my Shelfie. I‘ll post it here; I‘m entertained by them! 1mo
monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole I‘m keeping my eyes peeled for your Shelfie! 1mo
