Obviously you do!! So there's probably no need for me to mention it next time, I'm guessing, since you are aware of the fact...?

message 665: by Dana (new)

Dana | 144 comments so, I just finished The Collected Works of A. J. Firky. A 4.5 star book I think. I am not good at book reviews and rarely have the opportunity to talk with others about them, so forgive me. I loved this book, from beginning to end. The characters were lovely, funny, witty at times, heartbreaking and honest. This is not the sort of book I usually read, I picked it up because who doesn't want to read about a bookstore? Hope that helps. (Sorry it is late and I am on my phone typing this but no other opportunity available until Sunday night).


message 666: by Dana (new)

Dana | 144 comments Sorry I know this is not the place for a book review but I thought since my comment about letting you know how the book was is only a few comments ago, it was relevant.

Thanks Dana, that's great to hear! I'd love if you wouldn't mind putting what you've put here in the Currently reading thread, as I know there are others who are interested in this book... https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... Thanks again!

Is it possible to fix up Fatal Impact by Kathryn Fox. There are 3 separate entries, one is listed as the author being Hodder & Staughton! It would be nice to have Dr. Anya Chrichton #7 beside it as well.

I've fixed yours Phrynne. Would you believe the one which had author Hodder & Staughton actually came through from Amazon!!! Dolts!

All done Zoey:) Do you have a blurb with your first book? It's missing one and I couldn't find it....if you do, perhaps you wouldn't mind typing it in here and I'll add it to the book profile? Thanks!

Good on you, Brenda. Nothing worse than finding a book which has zilch in the blurb part:)


message 684: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79977 comments Mod
I agree Bette! Whenever I find books without blurbs I search until I find a blurb somewhere online...mostly I find them, but with some of the very old books it seems hard...

I see this every now and then but as I have so far been a tad too lazy to request librarian status I cannot fix the omission. Do you mind if I refer them here?

Brenda | 79977 comments Mod
That would be great Bette, as long as you can find a link to the blurb;) Thanks for your help!


message 687: by Zoey (new)

Zoey  (rozannen) | 1045 comments Thanks Brenda.
It doesnt actually have one?!?!? . Just a few notes of praise from other authors.

Brenda | 79977 comments Mod
Thanks Bette, but that's a review, so the guidelines state that reviews aren't blurbs (which they're not) and they're not to go in place of blurbs. So I can't use that...thanks anyway:)

Yes, I worried that being a review, it might not do. I scoured the first two pages of Google and could not find the book details. Odd, isn't it?


message 692: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79977 comments Mod
Yes it's very strange - I did a fairly comprehensive search too...that's why I thought if Zoey owns the book it might have something on the back or inside the cover about it...


message 693: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 3569 comments There's something strange going on with the sequel to The Rosie Project - The Rosie Effect.

I've put The Rosie Effect on my TBR, but when you look at the different editions for the book (https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...), it appears to have been put in as just a different edition of The Rosie Project. But then there's this one, without a cover, of an e-book version of The Rosie Effect. Can anyone fix this up? Or is it best to wait until closer to it's release??


message 694: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79977 comments Mod
I've separated the two Kathryn, and combined the two "Effects"...hopefully someone won't come along and combine them again!


message 695: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 3569 comments Brilliant! Thanks, Brenda. And fingers crossed that they stay that way! The blurb makes it pretty clear it's a new story...


message 696: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79977 comments Mod
I actually put a librarian note with the new book in hopes it will be seen when someone thinks they need to combine them!


message 697: by Marianne (new)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments I'm currently readingThe Glass Kingdom by Chris Flynn but I think there are 2 Chris Flynns as the one who wrote this, according to the Text bio (see http://textpublishing.com.au/books-an... ) has only written this and A Tiger in Eden, plus articles in journals. While I am a GR librarian, I'm not sure how to fix this...... or if I'm game to try. We could put the bio up for this Chris Flynn from the Text page too, once we've sorted it out. Many thanks for your help.....Brenda?


message 698: by Marianne (new)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments and did we already do this once? or was that a different author?

message 700: by Marianne (new)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments actually, hold off on the Chris Flynn thing, I'm checking with the contact at Text. Will get back to you...
