We didn’t want Twitter lists to get all the glory, so may we present the latest feature we’ve added to your BookRabbit control panel.
Thanks to some jiggery pokery mystical magic-y… oh ok, basically Brett frowned a lot while typing in lots of words and numbers and squiggly brackets, and Dan made it look pretty.
Ahem, anyway, you can now create your very own custom book lists on BookRabbit! (you’ll have to add your own drum roll and imagine the A-list celebrity party – we’re on a tight budget).
Just hop over to your profile page where you’ll see a new heading on the left hand navigation called ‘Book lists’. Click on the link ‘Create new book list’ (we’re all about ‘doing what it says on the tin’ around here in case you hadn’t picked up on that yet) and follow the instructions to take you effortlessly and joyously to list heaven!

Or choose to enter our competition… to win a copy of probably one of the greatest books ever written. We managed to get Irvine Welsh to sign a copy of the original Trainspotting paperback (released in 1994 by Vintage) while he was appearing at the Henley Literary Festival. And we’re just going to give it away. Just like that. And you could win it. Ain’t life peachy?

What a fantastic few days it’s been at the Literary Festival. It was great to see so many of you BookRabbiters over the course of the weekend, and finally meet some of you in the fur… uh I mean flesh… ooh that sounds rude. Moving on, rapidly… hello to Sian, Anne and Auriol and respective friends and partners who enjoyed front row seats for Gervase Phinn’s very amusing talk. The event was a sell-out and at the book signing afterwards the queue stretched on and on… it gave us a chance to rabbit with a few of you, which was a real pleasure. We’re so glad you all enjoyed the day. Check out the photos…
