2024: 800,000 Page Challenge COMPLETED!!
Does anyone know if Goodreads has changed the search parameters? I have always been able to search on my name and I can easily find my last post in this thread to see the last book I included and start from there. However, tonight the search seems to be only including posts where my name is typed into the body and not all my post based on my Goodreads name (Cleo). I've tried searching through 9 pages but cannot find my last post, which is really time consuming. Not sure what to do .....P.S. I've also searched by a book I might have included in a previous post but that's not working, perhaps because I used the link function for books and didn't type it out.

Maybe it was/is a glitch?

Or was the content written and published before then?"Hi Ana, yeah the The Dictionary People was published in 2023 but it's talking about a book that's older, for me the dictionary, the invention of it is a classic read but I still wasn't sure if this counted and thought I should just check.
Hopefully this helps.
