Joel I was wondering if it is possible to record on goodreads more than one date for when you have read a book? I have recently realized that when I reread a book, there is only space for recording one date. So as far as I can tell the only option is to keep the original date that I read the book or erase that date and put the new completed date. So does anyone know if it is possible to put more than one date down for when you have read a book?

Is there a trick to picking a different edition? When I try, it seems to only change the edition associated with my already set date...

Good idea!

When you pick it the second time there is a small button somewhere that says 'Review this Edition' that will make a separate entry in your list.

AndrewP - can you provide a little more detail? I'm not having luck finding the "Review this Edition" button anywhere. "Change edition" and "Switch to This Edtion" I can find, but that just changes the edition linked for my existing review.

ETA - FOUND IT!!! When viewing the page for the other edition, the "Review this Edition" link is right next to the "My Review" heading on the page. Thank you!!
