Yay! Your first reviews on Lunch and the Cafe Libri Community! Thanks, Athira, for posting these. If you also want to share older Goodreads reviews, feel free! The best way to get a book in the community is by using the "Lunch This" tool. It's found on the Lunch homepage toward the bottom on the right hand side. Then, you should be able to add the topics to the community really easily if you use Amazon, where it works the best. You just type the ISBN of the book into the Amazon website and go to that book's page. Then, you click the "Lunch This" tool. After that, you can copy your review into the box and save everything. The only thing you need to remember is to add the topic to the book community--there's a button on the right hand of the screen of your review that will say "add to community" or you can do this when you edit the book review. Just let me know if you want help too! I have a discussion thread where you can also ask other members to help you add topics. :)

Yeah, it's an awesome website! There is so much stuff to do here. Feel free to check out the discussion threads in the Cafe Libri Community when you have time too. You might want to introduce yourself or discuss things with other members. Also, let me know via a comment or e-mail if you need help! I can't wait to feature one of your reviews in a newsletter! :)
Welcome to Lunch, Athira! It's so great to see more Cafe Libri group members coming over! Let me know if you have questions about how the Lunch Cafe Libri Community works. What I usually do is copy and paste my reviews over from Goodreads, and since you have some amazing reviews, I recommend doing the same! You can also write reviews on short stories, essays, poems, authors, e-readers--basically anything book or reading related! You can also just read and rate the reviews by giving them thumbs up and thumbs down if you would rather "sit back" and enjoy others peoples thoughts. It's all up to you! Thanks so much for giving our newest recreation of Cafe Libri a try!
