Maider (maiderotegi) | 149 comments Hello! I added a quote from Les Liaisons dangereuses, but when selecting the book it was from, I attributed it to a play-script adaptation of the book (Les Liaisons Dangereuses), since the title is the same and I couldn't know which one it was.
I suppose the quote should be moved to the actual book (Les Liaisons dangereuses).

By the way, is there any way to know what is the book you are picking when adding a quote? It is mostly to avoid making this mistake again with these particular cases.

Thank you!

Maider (maiderotegi) | 149 comments Oh yes, sorry, I completely forgot.

Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1086...

It should be moved to Les Liaisons dangereuses

Thanks again!

I don't think there is. I believe the order of the books is alphabetical when adding a quote.
For Librarians correcting a quote, the order is different, with the popular books at the top of the list, so selecting the right book is usually quite simple.
