Add-new-book requests are still heavily backlogged. If you like, you can bump your threads by commenting on them and editing the thread title to include 'OPEN' or similar. (Do note that some librarians work from oldest undone posts, and there is no guarantee that your post will be seen sooner if you bump it.)

Debi Hawkins | 22 comments Thank you Liralen. I wasn't sure what made some of them "work" and others not? There was no difference between the ways I uploaded the adding details.
I'll try the bumping method.

Liralen | 8212 comments It's largely down to chance. Librarians are volunteers, not all of us work in that folder, and that folder gets a lot of activity. It's easy for posts to be missed. It does look like you've included all pertinent details, which makes it more likely that your requests will be addressed. (Note: GR policy doesn't allow praise/reviews in descriptions, so it's helpful for librarians if you leave those parts out.)

Antonomasia | 514 comments Debi I have just added the Frankie Murrey book for a GR friend. I found this thread because I was (unsuccessfully) trying to find a blurb online that was more than a quote from the novel's text.
