1) Earn awards based on your reading and cataloging prowess. If you reach 1000 books read, you become a member of the 1K club; 2000 books the 2K club and so on, up until 10,000 books, in which case you're be a "Top Reader". If you earn one of these awards, you will see a ribbon award adorn your profile picture in certain spots as well as your shelf.
2) The "Community Enthusiast" award is given out to a member of our Reading Community who truly exemplifies the spirit of sharing book knowledge and collections with others in order to create a more vibrant book community. The recipient of the award is someone who is viewed as a leader in the community by others, actively participates on a regular basis, and fosters good will among other readers. The award is given out on an as-needed basis and will be reflected on a user's publicly viewable "shelf" page for all to see.The inaugural recipient of this award is Mark Woodland. Mark exemplifies the above traits with aplomb and his collection of books is only surpassed by the thoughtfulness by which it was put together. Mark is an active participant in the community and is consistently looked to for advice around application functionality, book suggestions, and much, much more. Congrats to Mark on receiving this first "Community Enthusiast" award.
