Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what happened, so I've re-typed everything in a new comment. I saved after each book I added and had no problem until at the very end I tried to bold and italicize at the top and it would not save. Very weird.

Yeah sometimes Goodreads has problems with html commands in posts, so it was probably just a glitch :(
