--Did not understand what links at top of "My Reading List" were for (minor). When clarified, responded by saying they waste space anyway.  The solution to this would be to place the Already Read section, which is likely to be the longest and least looked through, at the bottom, and to dispense with the links at the top of the page.

--Told me the links at the top of "My Reading List" were broken (minor). didn't understand that those links are only used/necessary if you have a really really long reading list of books, they help you jump down the page to the section you want to look under. Could solve using Meelap's idea of getting rid of those links entirely and making all the sections in "My Reading List" expandable lists with the plus sign next to the heading.

--When adding a book to "My Reading List", after clicking the button to add it said "It didn't do anything." (major) Solution, redirect the user to the "My Reading List" page after they add a book. Then they get the feedback instantly that it was successful.

--Upset at all the confirmations. (minor) Solution, we could get rid of the confirmations.

--Wanted a large selection of books. (minor) That was out of the scope of this project, if we had been implementing this as a real website we would have more books.

--Liked the ability to recommend books to friends. Also liked the ability to see what friends were reading.
