Lennox Rex (bookishrex) | 4 comments Hello!

I just added a quote, and I believe the Goodreads system automatically attributed it to the wrong Alexis Hall. Is there a way I can edit the quote?

No, but when you provide a link to the quote and a link to the correct Alexis Hall author profile, a Librarian can correct it for you.

Hi, Arenda, thanks for the reply. I am very new to Goodreads, so you'll have to bear with me. I don't seem capable of clicking on individual quotes? If you follow this link, though, it is the quote at the very bottom.

Here is the correct author:

Thanks for your time!

Arenda | 26448 comments That link to the list of quotes is not working, as it is a personal link and reverts to my quotes.

I went to your profile and found this quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1087...
Is that the quote? And from which book is it?

It's a bit hidden, but to link to a specific quote, you can click on the "x likes" on the list of quotes on your profile or on the list of quotes by an author, which will take you to the page for that quote.

Lennox Rex (bookishrex) | 4 comments Yes, that's the one! So sorry for the extra hassle. I appreciate your patience with me. \^o^/


message 6: by Arenda (new)

Arenda | 26448 comments I've corrected the author: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1087...

If you tell me which book this quote is taken from, I can add the book to the quote.

Lennox Rex (bookishrex) | 4 comments Sure ^^ It's from Boyfriend Material.
