message 5401: by Lit Bug (Foram) (new)

Lit Bug (Foram) | 402 comments I really think there's a bug then - happened once to me too... things I linked took others to different locations. Don't fret - it'll resolve soon :)

Nice of you to say, Lit Bug. I just can't work out where to put the symbols. Like <> and " ".

But I've wasted nearly two hours on it:( :( Failed! Giving up now:(

Lit Bug (Foram) | 402 comments What device are you using to access Goodreads?


message 5404: by Lit Bug (Foram) (new)

Lit Bug (Foram) | 402 comments Are you trying to post your review in a way that doesn't show the link but instead shows the text you want to place and converts it into a link?

Umm, just trying to post the link to My Review. Exactly from web address.
I'm only new to Goodreads s not real sure what I want! Sorry

message 5408: by Lit Bug (Foram) (new)

Lit Bug (Foram) | 402 comments Then I guess you are copy-pasting the web address like everyone else and since it cannot go wrong, it's just a bug, which means it will resolve soon :) If it doesn't do post a query on the Goodreads Feedback Group so that you have better chances of fixing it. Or maybe wait for a day and see if things return to normal. Don't worry :)

I just can't work out where to put all the symbols for html part.


message 5410: by Lit Bug (Foram) (new)

Lit Bug (Foram) | 402 comments I can't too, in that case - I tried multiple times and failed every time. All I got was a blank space for all that html I had put in. I guess I have to ask someone again, and then I'll let you know as well :) Turns out I had misunderstood your problem. We share the same issue - even I don't know how to do it.


message 5411: by B the BookAddict (new)

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) Thanks Lit Bug, if I find out before you, I'll send you a message:)
So all your reviews - someone else has had to post the link for you? Frustrating issue, hey? Thanks for your input on this. B :)

Wonderful Bette, You've done it :)

Great review btw. I've added it to my TBR.

Jojo Moyes is a fabulous writer of love, family and relationships (which I love to read). I've read 2 of her books this year ( Sheltering Rain & Silver Bay ) and they've both been excellent :)

Who's narrating it on audio? I checked Audio Edition but not listed.
I really enjoyed this book; the issues it covers really makes you think.

Michele I have just started Torture the Artist by Joey Goebel by Joey Goebel - this was recommended to me, not something I would normally pick up

It's Emilia Fox Bette. She's English but her accent is not strong. Very good clear voice.

Michelle how far in are you?

I'm on my 3rd disc out of 10 and only now it's becoming more clearer to me.

I was very confused and frustrated at beginning of this book and didn't think I'd ever catch on to what was going on.
