Cleo deLancey (goodreadscomcleo_delancey) Humm, I have the same problem for Kieran the Pirate. I have a blank cover.

rivka Cleo, I added yours as well.

For future reference, requests to fix data of specific book(s) are best posted in the Librarians Group. You'll usually get a faster response if you post this sort of request there.

Cleo deLancey (goodreadscomcleo_delancey) Thanks! I was clueless and thanks for the tip about where to post!

David James (goodreadscomdavid_james) | 52 comments Please, this is a simple question: How do I post my reviews of others' books? And reviews of my own by others?

Laurel Heidtman (kylaurel) | 434 comments Is it a book you're currently reading (and have marked it as such so it shows up on the home page part way down the page on the right)? If so, when you update your status as finished, you'll be given the option of rating the book and leaving a review.

If it's a book in your list of books that you've read in the past, click Edit over to the far right of the book's listing. I know Edit sounds like you'd be editing an already existing review (which you can do), but it also allows you to do a new edit.

As far as posting reviews of your own by others, those show up automatically on your book's page.

Hope this helps.

Charles Garard (goodreadscomcharles_garard) | 142 comments Am I allowed to post the cover of an ebook that is nearly finished? I have four e-books posted here, but I read that one can post the cover of a new, nearly completed novel. Somewhere. Thanks for your time.

K.J. Farnham You could post the cover to your blog, but I think the book needs an ISBN or ASIN in order for you to actually add it to Goodreads. I think. Good question. I look forward to more responses.

Charles Garard (goodreadscomcharles_garard) | 142 comments I could assign an ISBN to it, but can you assign an ISBN on a book that is not yet finished or copyrighted? If you can, where would you put it?

Yes you can, you do not need to add an ASIN or ISBN although they are useful.

Beware that you cannot change the cover once uploaded and will need to request it is changed in the librarian group, also if the book is published or given out as an arc with that cover GR will not remove the cover but create an alternate cover edition if the cover is changed post ARC / publsihed
