I wanted the chance to indicate the above quote was from Lies My Teacher Told me so the quote would display under my (eventual) review. But there was no drop-down list of book titles or obvious way to add a title.

Also, this quote:

I plan to add some further quotes, once I can indicate the book title as well.

Thanks.

Hi Jan. I've added the information for you On Goodreads he is James W. Loewen The books won't come up if you don't enter his name exactly

Jan Rice | 110 comments OK. I did try that but got nothing to click on when I used the initial, so thought that wasn't an available choice--maybe b/c I didn't put the period after the "W." Thanks for fixing!

Yes on Goodreads the period is considered part of the name.

& my pleasure! :)

Jan Rice | 110 comments Perhaps removing the "James Loewen" option without the initial (or period) would be helpful, as that helped lead me down the wrong path on this one. Just a suggestion.

Jan Rice | 110 comments Thanks, Arenda! May I ask if you would also put my second quote from Message 1 under "James W. Loewen"?


message 8: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26447 comments Strange, when I looked at that quote, it appeared to be under James W. Loewen. When I went to edit the quote, it seemed to be still under James Loewen.
It is now under James W. Loewen: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8713...
