Brenda Baker | 31 comments Hi there,

I was wondering if it would be possible to delete the following quote that I added. There should no comma.

Thank you!

Emily | 17619 comments I edited the quote. Did you wish to delete it?

Thank you so much for editing the quote! I guess it doesn't need to be deleted now. :)

I'm now wondering if it would be possible to remove the book title from the following quotes, so that just my name is left. I made the mistake of adding my debut book title, not realizing at the time that it would attribute the quote to the book, which isn't the case.

I believe I have removed the book from those.

Hi Emily,

Thank you so much! The librarians here on goodreads are amazing and so supportive. And I would absolutely agree about the difficulty in not rushing a good book. I'm guilty of devouring some books in only a few sessions, unable to stop myself haha. :)

Brenda Baker | 31 comments Hi Emily,

I'm sorry to bother you once again, but I missed a final quote that I've also incorrectly attributed to my book. I'm unable to isolate the quote's URL, so I'm providing the link to all book quotes and a copy of the quote that needs the book title removed.

The quote that needs the book title removed:

In sanity dwells my insanity.

I already have the quote listed without the book title, so perhaps it would be best to delete the quote entirely?

Laura Bullock | 20 comments Hello I have a quote that shows up but it is not under my quotes. I corrected it and it is under my quotes page but the old one is still floating. Is there a way to delete it or is it really not there?

Emily | 17619 comments #6 I edited it and it shows you removed it, but I guess that it takes a long time to go away due to caching, or it could be a glitch.
I have hopefully removed it.

If you go to this page, you will see only 6 quotes:

It takes a long time to update completely due to caching.
