Rachel Rouleau (rachrouleau) | 2 comments When I search for this book, And the Mountains Echoed, by Khaled Hosseini, this comes up:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It shows that I have read the book but doesn't display my rating or review.

However, if view the book from my book list, it shows this, with my rating and review:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

When I tried to combine, it looked like all the other editions of the book are already combined. Why is it showing up differently depending where I view it from?

Empress (the_empress) Because you have shelved two editions of the same book. One will be marked as read and the other one as to-read. To check your duplicates go to my-books and click "find duplicates" under the shelves on the left of your screen (do a search if you are not seeing it). On that page you will see listed all books you have shelved more then one edition of.

It doesn't matter if a book has 2 or more then a 100 editions, you can shelve and rate every one of them.

It is not a Librarian issue but how the system works.

Hope that helps.

P.S. You can remove the non-rated edition by going on the book page and clicking the little X when you hover over the to-read button, or from the duplicates page. This will not remove your rating and review on the other edition (unless you remove it instead)

You are most welcome :)

And if you wish you can choose "switch edition" if you have shelved a wrong one.
