Yes I got it this morning :) i just noticed you have added it but I think it has the wrong author bio?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Ooh really.....checking....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Great thanks Brenda, it sounds good doesn't it?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It sounds awesome Jools! I hope I'm approved:) And thanks for picking up that the author was incorrectly profiled:) I only did the job 3/4 of the way instead of all!

Hi Librarians, could I please get this added:

http://www.jacketflap.com/bookdetail....

Mine copy is hardcover, it's no rush, I just came across it in a box and it took my interest.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Do you have an ISBN Suzanne? The one in the link is paperback (as you know) but the ISBN will be different...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Don't worry - I've found it on Amazon:)

[Suz]

Thanks Brenda, it's actually the same as the one listed 0713628154.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well that's strange - both paper and hard are showing the same ISBN on Amazon!!

Here it is: Guide Dog by Jill Coleman

[Suz]

Trust me to find the odd ones! Thanks Brenda, they don't call you lightning for nothing ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

:)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Hoping to get some more info for this one and its author if possible? 9780987203984 When There Are Too Many Lawyers

Many thanks :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Looks like someone else did it for you Jools, and didn't mention it in here:)

[Sally906]

Oops - sorry that was me - the boss came out of her meeting and I had a few things I needed to discuss. Completely forgot about it until just now

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Thanks ladies ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I didn't know you were a librarian Sally? lol

Still have my L plates on Brenda - if it's easy, and I am around, I'll give it a go

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!! Fair enough:)

[Suz]

Good evening, could I please have this one added:

http://www.boomerangbooks.com.au/Girl...

Many thanks ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Working Suzanne:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Girls' Town by Robert Parsons

There you go:)

[Suz]

You're on hols and still working. What more can I say! x x

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha!!! While I have good access to the internet Suzanne;) Might be different next week!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Is there a way for me to add all the links to the challenges I'm involved in onto my profile page under the "Events I'm attending" section? This is to make it easier for me to readily access those pages when adding reviews or adjustments.
The next season challenge shows, and there is a badge to access AWW but my other challenges such as annual, personal and quarterly etc. don't show....can I add those somehow?

I'm not sure whether you can do your idea, Julie (but I'm not a librarian, so someone may be able to shed some light), but I find setting up a page in a group somewhere with links to all my challenges works. This is my main challenge page (it's not in the Aussie Readers Group, but you could set one up here in the Personal Challenges folder): https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Kathryn]

And I forgot to say - then I create a bookmark for that page so that I can easily access it without having to go to the group page, find the folder, and trawl through the folder to find my post!

[Sally906]

You could set up a shelf for your challenge - eg Autumn 2015 challenge and assign books to that shelf. Once the challenge is over you can delete the shelf - the books will stay on your read shelf so you won't lose them.

I think I've explained this right - brain not cooperating with fingers today :)

Thanks Kathryn that may be the way to go, unless there is way that we don't know of...its certainly very organized which appeals ;)

I've tried doing that Sally and keep forgetting to mark them in my bookshelf under the appropriate shelf title, also if I change my choices it is more mucking around and I was hoping to simplify it. I guess I was hoping I could just put a link button to each challenge on my profile page.

[Suz]

Hi Librarians, my current read is this book here:

http://www.panmacmillan.com.au/displa...

pages 282, paperback. Isbn as advised. Just can't find the correct one.

Thanks

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

I just discovered that if I click on this: "Events ☼♄Jülie is Attending" bar at the bottom of my profile page I can see "all" the events (as an option) I am attending with links to them...except for my personal challenges...so this is a good start. It also has an option to add a new event which I am not sure if I could use that to set up my personal challenge/s as an "event"... Anyone know?

[Kathryn]

Wow! I didn't know that! You can add events yourself!! However, I just added one, but you can type in a description for the event, but not include links to books/authors... So you can use it to link the website for your challenge and describe what the challenge is...

Although, I've also just discovered that if you copy and paste a GR-formatted link for book/author, the link will be active in your event description. So if you typed up a list in a comment box like this, you could then cut and paste that list into the description box for your challenge. Hope that makes sense - it does in my (sometimes scatty) mind!

You can also only add events that start in the future - so if you want to start listing your yearly challenges now - they'll need to be listed as starting tomorrow, to keep GR happy!!

But I also just discovered you can't have any more than 2048 characters in that description section - so depending on how extensive your list of books was, you may not be able to list them all...

But I like the idea - I might do that for my challenges next year...

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Kathryn, my idea was not to list my books there but rather to list my challenges as separate events with links to their page....do you think that would work?

[Sally906]

sound too hard for this little black duck - I'll stick with my spreadsheet :)

If one of the other's haven't done it - I will have a crack at it when I get home this afternoon for you

[Suz]

Brenda will have the answer, also hopefully an update from her visit with Vicki Tyley.. !!

[Kathryn]

☼♄Jülie wrote: "Kathryn, my idea was not to list my books there but rather to list my challenges as separate events with links to their page....do you think that would work?"

Yes, that would definitely work, Julie - can you see my page? The Aussie Author Challenge is one that I've added - although maybe you wouldn't see it, if I set it to private... Will go and check and make it un-private!!

[Kathryn]

No, it's not private, so you should be able to see it - I think. I've listed my books, but there's a website link, so you could definitely just do that...

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Yes I see your Aussie Author page there :) so it makes sense that you could do the same with your personal challenges also and add the link? I am going up to the "big" computer shortly and will have a play around ;)
Thanks Kathryn.

True. It was funny I had a book to be added the other day and Brenda did it so quickly, and she was on hols! So I told her they don't call her lightning for nothing ;)

[Sally906]

Hi Julie - has been done

The book was there - I did an isbn search - just didn't have the cover picture - the link has it as 320 pages on the Pan MacMillan page you gave - so didn't change the page numbers to 282. that might be how many reading pages there were - but sometimes publishers count the total number of pages to include all the bits before the story starts.
