Sofia (Bookish Wanderess) (sofia-bookishwanderess) | 221 comments Please put the link to the book when you recommend it, so it can be taken under consideration. Also, like there is so much people in the group,the recommendations need to be supported at least by other person.


message 3: by Haley (new)

Haley I say Graceling by Kristen Cashore—love this book—or The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly. Both are amazing reads, in my opinion, and I think everyone might like them!

You have to be on a computer - not a phone or other app. When you are adding a comment, just above the text box there is a link that says "add book/author". You click on that and search for the book you want to add.

How did you add it from your phone?? My app doesn't have a link. That would be so useful to me! I can't add links or reply to comments from my phone, just add comments. Oh wait...are you using an app or are you online on your phone? That could be the difference.
