I copied the html from the (some html is ok), located at the upper right hand of the comment box, then I copied the link of the book, pasted it on the http://www.goodreads.com part, and typed the book's title on 'my link' part.
I hope it helps..

I had wondered that too.
Maiko, I tried what I think you said, but it still didn't work. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your instructions :(

From (some html is ok) link, copy these html codes <
a
HREF= "HTTP://www.GOODREADS.com">MY LINK TEXT
and paste them into your comment box.
For example, you want to use the title of World Without End, then click the add book/author link, search for the title, and when you find it, right click at the title of the book and choose the 'copy link address', paste it and replace the "HTTP://www.GOODREADS.com" (between the "..").
Then replace 'MY LINK TEXT' by typing World Without End, using the html for bold character on any alphabet you want to make it to be bold.
I hope this works and my explanation is good enough to be understood :)

Hi Jannene, I didn't see your previous message, I'm sorry. I tried to explain it above, let me know if it works...or not :)
Maiko wrote: "Hi Barb, English is not my mother's tongue, so probably my explanation was not quite right..."Aha! I got it to work this time :) Now I just need to *remember how to do it for future reference. Thank you so much, Maiko!

Found this new author within the Bizarro Genre and found him and his stories interesting. I advise for anyone who would like to check it out that it would be suitable for adults only. I found them intriguing.
