Help! Is there something going on with goodreads? I am trying to add book covers to my finished list, but half of the ones I search for using "add book/author" are not showing up as existing. Anyone else having trouble with this?

[Gabs]

Yes, me too! I couldn't find the fault in our stars earlier...i thought it was just me!

It's not just you. I can't seem to find books either...

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yes, I'm having issues too

but I can almost always find the book if I search under author...that might help :)

That's what I've been doing. :)

The weird editions come up though. I have to search from the last page forward. It's annoying. -_-

[Gisbelle]

Hi guys, for those of us who have issues adding book covers, I recommend you copy ISBN code of the book you want and paste it in "add book/author". It works for me this way.

[Angela]

Thanks, Gisbelle! I'll try that. (:

[Gisbelle]

let's me know if it works for you or not.

[Angela]

It works. :D

[Gisbelle]

Cool :)
