Leah (: (569 KP) created a post in Smashbomb Feedback

Jul 27, 2018  
Is it possible to add more categories to the books section? I have just added a book and found it very hard to classify it, all that fit was fiction and poetry which is not the most helpful classification. Perhaps a way to classify the book as adult or for mature audiences as well as dark romance would be helpful as just using the romance option feels very misleading. Thanks (:

I agree that fiction and poetry should be separate, and Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Historical fiction should also be a category, and there should be some sort of differentiation between the different kinds of Romance (erotica? If you don’t read it, I doubt you’d want to accidentally read about it!). I’ll have a think about others.

I don’t know what you would call this but perhaps some way to know if a book is a complete story or not. I know quite often in a series each book is about a different character within the same world, therefore each book is a complete story and you don’t necessarily need to have read the other books to still enjoy that one. I hope this makes sense (:

I really enjoy Steve Harvey as a comedian, but this book just didn't do it for me. Maybe the book would have been helpful when I was still dating but now that I am in a relationship the advise seemed obvious. Even if I was still dating I think most of his advise is common knowledge on how to conduct yourself as a lady but I guess some people need help in that area. The first chapter was the most helpful for me. After that I just read to finish the book. I really wouldn't recommend this book to anyone I know,but it could be helpful to some single women out there.

Breaking Breads by Uri Scheft is a book full of many new and interesting breads. The recipes are easy to follow. The photos are wonderful.

The sections on baking at home was very good and one of the best I have read. His explanation on how to knead dough was helpful.

The book has great step-by-step pictures and fairly simple instructions for the recipes. The photos are great for intimidating for a novice baker.

The entire book was thoughtfully put together with clear explanations and helpful tips along the way. Step by step pictures were also included (super helpful for the above-mentioned apple strudel) as were suggestions for achieving perfect bakery-likeconsistency.

A good pocket pick-me-up, very light with some helpful information, plans and examples. Personally I need something a lot more indepth and more suited to my age range.

"Ionesco is my favorite playwright full stop. His work can be daunting to say the least, so reading this book can be quite helpful when trying to enter his impossible realms."

Very easy to read unlike many other professional development books I’ve come across. The ideas are helpful. Materials are provided that make the lessons easy to implement immediately in your classroom.

I can't think of anything important for young adults to know that isn't in this book. It is straight-forward and helpful, though underwhelming if you were raised attending etiquette classes. I'd recommend for young millennials.
