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
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!

& my pleasure! :)
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.
Thanks, Arenda! May I ask if you would also put my second quote from Message 1 under "James W. Loewen"?
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...


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.
