When I look at a book by an author, I often click on their name to see what other books by them I might also be interested in. However, this often leads to a TON of results that are not the author's books, or are huge compilation books. This is often not at all what I am looking for; I want books written by that person, period.
I understand that other people might love to look at all the books the author has touched, but I am uninterested in collab books with 15 authors contributing to it. Also, sometimes inexplicably, something very much not by the author (in this case, Villette by Charlotte Bronte) will show up under the author search. I'd also like to be able to filter out articles the author has written that show up as 11 page user-added books.
Solutions welcomed!
One thought is that collaboration books are somehow able to be separated out from "normal" (for lack of a better adjective) novels, and that there's potentially a filter available when looking at these search results.
I use this feature alllll the time and this is constantly a little thorn in using it.
Yes, I would love to be able to sort and filter by release date but also by read status. I like to track authors I'm reading from for the first time and it would be awesome to not have to scroll through the whole list of things they've touched to see if I've read something from them before.
Seconding this as well! Especially the bit about the compilation/collections where the author contributed one story
I'll just add to this instead of making a new post. I too would love to be able to sort/filter when I click an author's name. Publication date, read/TBR/unread etc.
I second being able to sort by release date! :)
Very much second this! Would also really like to be able to sort or filter the list of an author’s work, so that I can sort by release date or filter by language.
