The book was published in May, not June, and Cherry Jones is the narrator, not the translator. Thank you

laven (lavendelchen) | 321 comments If you want this information to be changed, you have to add an acceptable source like Amazon or the publisher site. That is very important to avoid misinformation. You can find a list of acceptable sources in the librarian manual: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
It's also more practical if you use a link to the book page instead of the ISBN, but this is fine too.

JL | 32 comments Ohh ok thank you so much

I did a bit of research and turns out I can only find the 2006 editions that I have from online libraries. here is one:
https://rochester.overdrive.com/media...

book depository seems to have the date published at June though. It also says its translated instead of narrated which is really confusing me. here is the link:
https://www.bookdepository.com/Becaus...

I'm not sure if online library websites count as solid sources, so I'm guessing this isnt enough to edit anything.

laven (lavendelchen) | 321 comments I'm pretty sure they don't.
With this audio book however, of which the original language as well as the edition language is English I think we can be sure that Cherry Jones is the narrator, not the translator, so I changed at least that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We need that to add a cover. For most other data, the user having the book in front of them is sufficient.
