Always look on the bright side of life ...









I am trying to find good things about Bookjetty - really .... it's just not working all that well.

So instead, a small segue ... did you know that Monty Python's Always look on the bright side of life was voted #5 in the list of favourite funeral songs? There, that made you smile didn't it?

Ok , so back to Bookjetty ... umm, positive things to say about Bookjetty ...

Did you know that elephants are the only animals with four knees?

Right, enough of that ... Bookjetty ... well it has a nice font.

Apart from that, not much I can find to like about this site.
  • Yes, you can link to Amazon and buy the book - but Amazon is so ubitquitous, you can probably access it from the Foodtown website.

  • Yes, you can link to a library catalogue - just not the catalogue for any libraries I belong to.

  • Yes, you can "catalogue" your book - but only as read or unread - most other "shelf" sites allow you to categorise by a particular genre/author and add your own shelves.

  • I found it hard to search for book by title (i.e. without the ISBN) - until I realised that you could do this using the (unlabelled) search box at the top of the page.

Maybe the final word should go to the Bookjetty website itself - I know how it feels.
