I just read a book for The Chase, but it isn't showing up in the challenge. How do I make it show up?

You have to make sure that you've added the book to your shelf that you created for 'the chase', so when you shelve the book as 'read' you also shelve it as 'the chase'. You also need to set the date finished ☺
Not sure if this is where I would ask this, but how do you get involved with ARCs? I have been wondering for awhile, but can never figure out how to sign up to receive them or whatever it is that you need to do....
Hi Lesley, we do some read-to-reviews in the group here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... where you can sign-up to get free review copies of books, and other groups do similar things. One of the main places to recieve review copies and ARCs from is www.netgalley.com - it's free to sign-up, and there are some books on there that are listed as 'read-now' which means that you don't have to wait for publisher approval to download them.
Does that help? feel free to ask any other questions you may have ☺

First you have to join the Goodreads Feedback Group here - https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1
because the challenge thing is still in beta testing (even though its been in testing since 2012)
then, go to the group you moderate, and on the right hand side, under
'group home'
'bookshelf'
'discussions'
should be...
'create challenge' ☺
It's fairly easy to work out once you click that ☺

Maria wrote: "How do you delete a bookshelf? Thank you."Go to "My books" then go to where your shelves are in the left hand corner. It will say "bookshelves" at the top, and next to it will be "edit" Click that, and then press the cross on the left on whatever shelf you want to delete :)
How do you post a picture with the standard image tag if your image is just a .jpeg file and not a URL?standard image tag (missing < & >): img src="http://www.goodreads.com/image..." width="40" height="100" alt="description"/
You have to upload the picture somewhere online first, then use its URL that way. I usually use photobucket.com but you can also use a picture uploaded as a photo on your goodreads account ☺
I have reviewed 8 books on goodreads. But my profile says only 7. I don't know which review isn't getting counted. I viewed my reviews and all 8 of them were there.What do I do to let my profile show the exact number of books I've reviewed?
Thanks,Bookbuyer@Irene I have joined Goodreads Feedback Group,where do you think I should request a reset for my reviews? Will I have to to make a new thread for it? So sorry to bother you
On a PC, on the 'Home' page, on the right hand side of the page where it lists which books you are reading, you should see a little link, underneath your books, which says 'add a general update' - click that, and you can do a status update seperate from your books ☺
I'm not really sure, I find that chatting to people and discussing books, reading other people's reviews etc, is the way to get more friends/followers ☺ It also makes Goodreads a lot more fun ☺
This isn't really a technical thing, and it's okay if you don't know, but how do you get considered for an ARC book? I know it's a ways down the road for me though.

I've known some small publishers to message people based off Goodreads reviews, but not larger publishers.

You click the little link on the bottom right of the comment which says 'reply', and then post a comment as usual ☺
Go to the shelf, and click 'batch edit' at the top of the page, then select which books you want to remove, and then click 'remove books' - I think that should do it ☺
Probably not, I'm not sure you can batch delete books from your shelves completely, you can only remove them from a certain shelf.

Hi, didn't find this thing in other threads. If I want the BR about the book that was already planned on February and has a thread, how do I act?
Hi Olga, if you want to join a buddy read, just comment on the thread to say that you are joining, and then start reading (on or around the start date) and leave your thoughts on the thread using spoiler tags where necessary ( < spoiler > without the spaces ) ☺
Okay. Well basically you go to the thread. Here it is - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...And post a book and if you want a time frame for when you want to start the book and wait for someone to comment saying they also want to read the book. :)
It's probably because you are on the app. The app is really bad for chatting and it HATES long threads. Are you able to go to the desktop version?
Okay that's actually really easy. First of all it should be noted you CANNOT do this on the APP. Only DESKTOP.
Second above the chat box your will see two blue links. Click the one that says add book/author
Go the the bottom of the pop up box and click cover instead of link.
Type in the book you want to read like HP and click add.
I find that the site misbehaves when I use it on chrome through my phone. Even though I'm on the internet site rather than the app, the 'post' button for posting comments disappears unless I press enter twice!
Don't worry too much about posting the cover, you can just type out the book's title when you post your review ☺ It's more important to get the information down than it is to post the cover ☺

How do you centre-align text in reviews? Like in the following: (14th paragraph: "many that live deserve death")https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
