Can someone tell me how you actually link the titles up? I don't know how.

I usually do it from the website which is easier -- above the "Comment" box on the right side you will see "add book/author." Click on this and you will be able to search for the book you want and when you click on "Add" it will insert that into your comment. You can also search for the exact edition you are using.

Elective Affinities by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

For the App, the only way I know is to insert "book:title of book" between brackets [ ]. Don't use the quotations and change "title of book" to the title of the book you are reading.

I have started reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. It took me a couple of chapters to get used to the writing style since I am mostly used to the late 20th century and 21st century books but I have been enjoying this one, although it's a slow going.

[Rose]

I am ready to dig into Les Miserables. It is the longest book on my TBR in Goodreads...... Ready to dig into a nice long book!

[Armin]

I started with the group read "Midaq Alley", it's really is an interesting book so far.

[Nocturnalux]

Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas by Machado de Assis.

Queen Margot, or Marguerite de Valois by Alexandre Dumas.

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

I started reading a book I've had my eye on for a long time:


Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey

Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest might be my all-time favorite novel, so I'm hoping I'll like this one a lot also.

[Kimberly]

Midaq Alley. I'm enjoying it so far.

It's the same for me. The book is sometimes awkward to hold.

[George P.]

I just started the graphic novel Watchmen by Alan Moore- not my usual genre, but variety can be good.

I liked it. When you've finished you might want to watch the old film with Paul Newman and Michael Sarrazin if you can get access to it; it's fairly faithful.

[Sean]

[Isa]

I just started Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and I just CANNOT get into it. So far it’s just about a child telling about inconsequential little childish happenings at school. I suppose they may turn out to be not as inconsequential as I believe them to be, but it’s almost torture so far.

[Isa]

Sorry wrong group for my last comment.

That was my impression of that book too. Good luck.

I will definitely look for it. It's called Never Give An Inch if I recall correctly. I'm a big Paul Newman fan.

[Diane]

Started The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt.

My copy of the movie had the same title as the book.

The intensity goes up a lot in the last half.

[George P.]

Started Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, a graphic novel. I don't know if I can make it through the whole thing, I don't think I'm a graphic novel kind of guy, though I did like Satrapi's Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood.

[Karen]

Amelia by Henry Fielding

[Kimberly]

Blaming by Elizabeth Taylor. I am surprised that this is her only book on the list.

[Nocturnalux]

There is a dearth of list titles by women authors as it is. So I am not that surprised.

[Rose]

Starting Rabbit, Run. Hope I like it as several in the series is on the list! Why is that? Seems wrong to me in some way....
