Hi Everyone! I've got some exciting news for our Early Reviewer members!
Participants in the program now have the ability to add books to their catalog directly from the main Early Reviewers page, as well as from their own ER wins page. They no longer have to catalog ER titles from the Add books page, or from each book's work page.
Going forward, every giveaway will include a "Your Catalog" field, with a blue "Add" button, underneath all of the other information:
You can use this to quickly add any ER book to your catalog. This tool uses our existing Add Books Express feature to search for the title, but in the absence of any information from our standard book search sources—a situation often confronted by those adding ER books—will create a copy for you using data from the Early Reviewers giveaway itself.
Clicking on the Add button will bring up a pop-up box, where you can assign tags to the book and decide whether to add it to your library or to your wishlist. Now you can quickly add titles to your wishlist, if they look interesting, and can add them to your library once you have won and received them.
Many thanks to Lucy (AKA knerd.knitter) for her hard work on this!

Appreciate this feature: there are times a work looks interesting but not to the level of requesting it. This way I can add to my recon list without having to exit the batch of ER offerings.

Oh good, because I often found that when I went to review it, it was not catalogued yet and then I had to figure out how to do that. Sometimes I found that very difficult.

This is a great feature! I often have trouble submitting my review because the book isn't in your database. And with the Wishlist feature, I don't have to go back to the ER page to find the books that I didn't get & wished I had!

Thank you!
>14 Yabut: I had the same issue and was trying to work out where to request it. I'm glad I was pre-empted.

So I won the Burned Over audiobook from the Dec ER... But I can only find a Print format. I try to personally track the exact hours listened vs read, and I keep thinking that I should add it as a audio format instead.. Like do I need to just think about it as it being a print format, and that its just easier for the publishers to get copies out and thats why the format was sent as a audiobook...?

>26 MiserableFlower:
It's not uncommon to be unable to find audiobooks in a search. But you can add it manually, and use the "media" field to show it's an audiobook. Or you can add the print edition and edit your copy.

>26 MiserableFlower: An interesting predicament. Audiobooks are sometimes released later than print editions so I bet this happens a lot with audiobook LTER books.
You'll probably just have to add the book manually, or you could add the print edition and change all of the details to match your audiobook edition. LT doesn't have a field for audiobook length so you would have to add that information yourself either way (I use the comments field, myself)
