I’ve given my computer away and only use my phone now. Challenges are problematic using the Goodreads app. Maybe you could suggest the app developers address these issues? Please
Mod
I have issues with the app too. Some people have suggested getting on to the website via the internet on your phone instead of the app. They have said it works better.

I'm confused by why some people are giving themselves HF and 5 points. Why are you getting those points? I thought we only got points for the century, page length and if we had a bonus.
Absolution by Murder by Peter Tremayne7th century 10 points
