Annabel Bastione (AnnabelBastione) | 4 comments hello!

I'm an author and I've tried using the goodreads search to find my books however the search does not turn up anything when my titles are clearly available on amazon.

You can see my amazon catalog at http://goo.gl/c3Q9m.

Could someone be kind enough to add it in so that I can continue participating in the author's program?

Thank you so much!
Annabel

Lilian, you cannot add a book with information from Amazon. Please wait for the author to provide another source.

Publishers sites (like that one) and author's sites are fine. We are no longer allowed to get book information from Amazon.

Annabel Bastione (AnnabelBastione) | 4 comments how unfortunate :(

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments Smashwords is a publisher site, so it is okay to use. I'm working on adding your books now!

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments Between Experiment and I we got all your books added into Goodreads.

The profile for your book is here: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

You can claim it as a Goodreads' author by scrolling to the bottom where it says Is this you? Let us know. If not, help out and invite Annabel to Goodreads. Click on Let us Know and you'll be guided through the application process!
