Two years ago, we announced the Solved HaBO feature. Whenever a HaBO is solved and the original poster confirms it, we’re able to mark the post as solved and a little piece of congratulations text appears at the top.
How can we possibly make these even better?
Well now we can embed the correct book into the HaBO, complete with buy links for your shopping pleasure! The buy links are affiliated coded, so we do get a small commission from your purchase to help support the site. If you use them, great! If not, that’s okay too!
Instead of scouring through the comments to find the name of the HaBO’s book, it’ll be displayed at the end of the post. Seriously, you can’t miss it! To see an example, check out these solved HaBOs:
- HaBO: Brothers Thought They Were Twins
- HaBO: Pregnant Heroine Runs from Engagement
- HaBO: Mind-Controlling Fairy Disguised as an Elegant Lady
Please keep in mind that we have quite a number of solved HaBOs, so mind the dust as we go through and update them all to include the books!
What do you think of the addition to solved HaBOs? Are you worried for your TBR pile?
This is a terrific improvement to the site!
An excellent addition to HaBO! It’ll make my TBR pile even larger, but what the hey…
Love how prominently the book covers are displayed so we can tell what it is right away. Agree that it’s a great new feature!
I have long given up worrying about the size of my tbr pile.
Great idea, so easy to click to buy now, and lovely how you are always improving the site!
YAY! Seriously, HaBO is probably my most favorite feature.
This is awesome!
Awesome!!! Very helpful indeed.
So now what can we do to get people to check back in with their HaBO to see if any of the suggestions are right or not? 🙂
Eventually my TBR pile will reach the moon but I’m ok with this.
I’m so pleased you’re excited! We are always trying to improve the site to make it easier to find the books you want, and to make it more fun for you, so I love knowing we’ve hit the mark with this one. Thank you!
I do love this change!
Evie: I’m afraid if they did one of those “If your tbr was stacked end to end….” where it would reach… asteroid belt? Pluto?
Should we email the site if we’ve solved our own HABO so you can reflect it in the entry? Most of the older ones have comments closed.
@Julia aka mizzelle: Yes! If you’ve found the answer to a HaBO you submitted, email us! We’ll update the post and comments.
This is great! (Of course, it still doesn’t help with all the “wrong” answer books I also feel compelled to add to my stash.)
While we’re adding things I never knew I needed but now can’t live without, we obviously need links to all the “wrong” answer book too!
sounds wonderful!
This is such a fantastic idea! Y’all take such good care of us.
So great! I wonder if it’s possible to also add a Goodreads link? I love that feature in other places for saving books I want to read for later.
Wow! You’ve taken an already fantastic feature and made it even better. Am I frightened my wallet will suffer? Most certainly!! Thank you, beloved bitches!
