Oh shoot! They most definitely need a librarian's edit. I was so set on finding the right book (not at all easy) and just assumed that because I read an actual book, there was no way they'd be listed as ebooks. Off to go get those edited! I'll repost soon.

And according to my books read, they are listed as paperbacks, so I just linked to the wrong books/editions. One of those days...
Stacie, i'm looking at the all editions for both those books right now and only seeing ebooks listed...maybe the ISBN's got linked wrong...
Dee wrote: "Stacie, i'm looking at the all editions for both those books right now and only seeing ebooks listed...maybe the ISBN's got linked wrong..."I just entered in the isbn numbers from the books on my read shelf, they showed up as paperbacks, so who knows! Should've done that in the first place!
i'm fixing them now - it looks like the pb version is combined in with the 20 million other versions of the plays...
Dee wrote: "i'm fixing them now - it looks like the pb version is combined in with the 20 million other versions of the plays..."They are, which is why it was so hard to find the right edition!
Thanks Dee!
Its going to take some more work to fix, but you should at least be able to link now

We do not have a BZimm in our records. Please request a Readerboard Name Once that is complete, please repost including your Readerboard name.
Sandy wrote: "Peebee post 1878While you say that "J. Courtney Sullivan" is a GR author, neither of the books in this post are by that author."
That was a cut-and-paste error, as I had already claimed that GR author in a prior post. I didn't claim it in my GR author totals for that post, however, so my totals should be correct. Sorry about that.
Dlmrose wrote: "BZimm post 1998 1999We do not have a BZimm in our records. Please request a Readerboard Name Once that is complete, please repost including your Readerboard name."
Sorry! I changed my name. I used to be birish, got married so am changing my name everywhere. I have requested a new readerboard name.
Thanks!
