message 2302: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 3569 comments I'm reading this copy of The Land Before Avocado: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... and it has no blurb.

Would someone please be able to add a blurb to it? This one from an ebook edition on GR would do:
The new book from the bestselling author of Flesh Wounds. A funny and frank look at the way Australia used to be - and just how far we have come. "It was simpler time". We had more fun back then". "Everyone could afford a house". There's plenty of nostalgia right now for the Australia of the past, but what was it really like? In The Land Before Avocado, Richard Glover takes a journey to an almost unrecognisable Australia. It's a vivid portrait of a quite peculiar land: a place that is scary and weird, dangerous and incomprehensible, and, now and then, surprisingly appealing. It's the Australia of his childhood. The Australia of the late '60s and early '70s. Let's break the news now: they didn't have avocado. It's a place of funny clothing and food that was appalling, but amusingly so. It also the land of staggeringly awful attitudes - often enshrined in law - towards anybody who didn't fit in. The Land Before Avocado will make you laugh and cry, be angry and inspired. And leave you wondering how bizarre things were, not so long ago. Most of all it will make you realise how far we've come - and how much further we can go.

Thanks!

Carolyn | 9840 comments Hi Librarians - how do you add a cover for an Audio book?
I'm listening to The Van Apfel Girls Are Gone by Felicity McLean The Van Apfel Girls Are Gone and my audiobook has the same cover.

Took a while to find it, but I think it's 9781460790335.
It's Kobo, not Amazon if that helps.

message 2314: by Mell (new)

Mell (mellrouvray) | 336 comments Hi librarian team - according to Amazon, looks like these two books are the same! The blurbs appear to have the same character names too..

Kissing Games of the World
Kissing Games Of The World

Would it be possible to combine them?

Those two are showing different authors Mell!! How weird. What I would suggest is you go to the Librarian group and ask the question of the Super Librarians - if it's the same. Because with 2 different authors (showing on the covers no less) we can't combine.

https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

Scroll down to "Book Issues" and create your own thread with the complete detail (as you've given me above) including the two different authors showing on the covers :)

Please let me know how you go, I'm curious...

message 2328: by Andrea (new)

Andrea | 2164 comments I've got a tricky one - way beyond my rudimentary Librarian skills.

Believe In Yourself & Do What You Love is ISBN 9781922213587. It's about to be published in the US as Believe in Yourself and Do What You Love (ISBN 9781524850906). Both are on GR so I thought I'd combine them before I leave my review for the US edition. BUT they are attributed to two different author profiles for Kate James. I suspect they are 2 different people rather than one author with 2 profiles. That was where I threw my hands in the air!

Does anyone think they can untangle this?

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
Having a look at it now Andrea...


message 2330: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
I have fixed the author - you were correct. It was in the spaces between Kate and James. And I combined the two editions. Let me know if there's anything else wrong with it, or it doesn't look right Andrea :)
