The Ivy Street Blog is a community-driven platform dedicated to sharing and discovering book recommendations. It's a place where book lovers can curate and share their own booklists, browse public booklists created by others, and find inspiration for their next great read.
At its core, the Ivy Street Blog is powered by the passion and knowledge of its users. Whether you're an avid reader, a librarian, a teacher, or simply someone who enjoys sharing their love of books, you can contribute to the community by creating and sharing your own booklists.
One of the unique features of the Ivy Street Blog is the ability to create and share public booklists. These curated lists of books can be organized around any theme or topic you choose, allowing you to share your literary discoveries and recommendations with others who share your interests.
In addition to creating and sharing booklists, you can also browse the public bookshelf to discover new books and booklists created by others in the community. You can search by the curator's public profile name, making it easy to find booklists that align with your reading preferences.
This is a public booklist. A public booklist is a curated list of books that the owner has chosen to share with the world. Anyone can view the books in a public booklist, but you need to log in to be able to add them to your reading list, booklists or give recommendations. Sign up is fast, free, and easy.
Public booklists are a great way to discover new books and get recommendations from others who share your interests. You can browse the public bookshelf or even the curator's public bookshelf.
Once you're logged in, simply click the "Add to Reading List" button to save it for later. You can also click the "Add to Booklist" button to add the book to one of your own booklists, making it easy to organize and share your own curated booklist. To give a recommendation, the booklist must be open to recommendation and then you can recommend books from your collection to the booklist.
You can use the share button to share this booklist several ways, including by text, email, or a QR code that can be made into a sticker or something.
To leave a recommendation, find a booklist that is open to recommendations using the public bookshelf located in the footer. On the public booklist page, scroll to the bottom, and there should be a tile available for you to select a book from your collection to recommend to the booklist.
If the book you want to recommend is not in your collection yet, add it to your collection first, and then select it and add your reason for recommending it to the booklist.
To review your recommendations, go to the "My Bookshelf" page, and if there are any recommendations people have left, a yellow link will appear on your booklist. Click that link, and you can approve or reject the recommendations.
