2. UK Hardcover Edition: Private Rites (ISBN 9780008608033)

- The publication date is incorrect. It should be June 11, 2024.

- The description is incomplete. It should read as follows:
From the bestselling author of Our Wives Under the Sea, a haunting novel of three sisters navigating queer love and faith at the end of the world.

There’s no way to bury a body in earth which is flooded
It is a fact consigned to history along with almost everything else

It’s been raining for a long time now, for so long that the lands have reshaped themselves. Old places have been lost. Arcane rituals and religions have crept back into practice.

Sisters Isla, Irene and Agnes have not spoken in some time when their estranged father dies. A famous architect revered for making the new world navigable, he had long cut himself off from public life. They find themselves uncertain of how to grieve his passing when everything around them seems to be ending anyway.

As the sisters come together to clear the grand glass house that is the pinnacle of his legacy, they begin to sense that the magnetic influence of their father lives on through it. Something sinister seems to be unfolding, something related to their mother’s long-ago disappearance and the strangers who have always been unusually interested in their lives. Soon, it becomes clear that the sisters have been chosen for a very particular purpose, one with shattering implications for their family and their imperilled world.

8. US Kindle Edition: Private Rites (ASIN B0CPWSHXM5)

- The description is formatted entirely in bold and incorrect. It should read as follows:
From the award-winning author of Our Wives Under the Sea, a speculative reimagining of King Lear, centering three sisters navigating queer love and loss in a drowning world

It’s been raining for a long time now, so long that the land has reshaped itself and arcane rituals and religions are creeping back into practice. Sisters Isla, Irene, and Agnes have not spoken in some time when their father dies. An architect as cruel as he was revered, his death offers an opportunity for the sisters to come together in a new way. In the grand glass house they grew up in, their father’s most famous creation, the sisters sort through the secrets and memories he left behind, until their fragile bond is shattered by a revelation in his will.

More estranged than ever, the sisters’ lives spin out of control: Irene’s relationship is straining at the seams; Isla’s ex-wife keeps calling; and cynical Agnes is falling in love for the first time. But something even more sinister might be unfolding, something related to their mother’s long-ago disappearance and the strangers who have always seemed unusually interested in the sisters’ lives. Soon, it becomes clear that the sisters have been chosen for a very particular purpose, one with shattering implications for their family and their imperiled world.

One-week bump.

Another bump.

[Drace]

Bumping. The book releases in one week, so getting this done soon is important.

[Patricia]

All done:)

[Drace]

Could you please correct the description on the US hardcover edition (Entry 7)? Still needs to be done.

Also, I've noticed issues with several of the covers you uploaded (black bars on the sides of the cover art that shouldn't be there), so I started a thread in the Cover Art folder to fix them. You don't need to worry about correcting those, other librarians are working on it.

Out of curiosity, and no offense meant whatsoever, how do you download art to upload to Goodreads? Are you copying and pasting it into an image editor of some kind? I've noticed the black bar issue has come up on several different covers you've uploaded to various books, and it shouldn't be happening if you just save the art from the website as it is.

Hi! I already corrected the #7 entry. Sorry, I haven't noticed it. Regarding the cover art issues, I'm really really sorry If there are problems with it. Next time, I'm going to really crop it right.

Well, the art is coming from the links you send above. The one with the links to Art covers. I'm not copying or pasting it into an image editor. I just normally cropped it and then uploaded it onto the cover of the book. The black bar issue is that when I cropped, I didn't notice the side or left part of the cover so that's why there are black bar issues.

You don't need to crop it at all, you just need to save it from the site and upload it as it is. If it's too big, the site will resize it.
