Ahh well in that case, you should definitely ask in the Librarian group. I don't know how to convert it to what we have on here - sorry :)

Anne Hamilton (annehamilton) | 45 comments Hi Brenda
The following book is wrongly attributed: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
It should be Charles E Hulley. I'd like to put a review but I'll wait until the author is fixed.
Thanks!!

Carolyn | 9840 comments Hi Brenda - would you be able to find the page count for Little Bookshop of Murder by Maggie Blackburn. ISBN: 1643854380 (ISBN13: 9781643854380)

I have a digital copy from Netgalley and can't see a page count on NG, GR, Amazon or the publisher's website. Thanks!


message 2511: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
It's because it's not published until September Carolyn. I've just checked every site that would usually have all the details and a couple of them have "page count 1" which is obviously wrong. I'd say it's not completed yet (editing etc) so they won't give out page count until closer to publication date. That's what I've found in the past anyway :) Sorry I can't help at the moment...


message 2512: by Carolyn (last edited Jun 08, 2020 01:20AM) (new)

Carolyn | 9840 comments Thanks Brenda - I started reading it for the readathon (I still have it listed as pub in July - must have changed). I'm just going to have to guess that it's around 200 pages - it feels short.


message 2513: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
A nuisance when they keep changing the dates - one I read for the readathon - squeezing it in as it was to be published tomorrow - now isn't until 7th July...


message 2514: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 9840 comments It is a nuisance when you have others that might need to be read soon. I've been checking pub dates now and again, but can't be bothered doing it all the time.


message 2515: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
Same - easy to miss when they are doing it all the time :(

Krystal (krystallee6363) | 2304 comments How do you flag a profile??!

I've blocked her but can't figure out how to report a profile?


message 2517: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
I thought it was in the box with the blocked part, but I can't see it Krystal. What I would do if I was you, copy the link to her profile then email it to support@goodreads.com with the full information for them. They'll soon get rid of her :)

message 2522: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1543 comments Hello lovely librarians!
I've come across a couple of tweaks needed in book records over the past few days. Nothing overly serious, but if one of you has a few minutes to correct the inaccuracies, that would be much appreciated.

1. In the record for Stuart MacBride's excellent 6th instalment in his Logan McRae series, Dark Blood, the book blurb gives the convicted rapist character the name "Martin Knox" - his name is in fact "Richard Knox", which is reflected in several of the reviews for this book.

2. Elly Griffiths's upcoming release, The Postscript Murders is subtitled as "Harbinder Kaur #1" in some instances (although I note that the main title on the book's page has now been corrected) - it is in fact the second book in her Harbinder Kaur series, The Stranger Diaries being the first. Is there any discrepancy in the metadata for this listing, or is the #1 showing up in my review box simply a remnant of my "TBR"-ing the book before the correction was made?

Thanks very much - hope the above info is sufficient for your purposes and not too convoluted.

message 2526: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 3569 comments I just created Death in Daylesford (Phryne Fisher, #21 in the system, but I must have missed something, because it isn't linking to the Phryne Fisher series (https://www.goodreads.com/series/4099...). Is someone able to fix this, please? Or do I need a super librarian?


message 2527: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 3569 comments Also - I copied and pasted the blurb, but didn't realise that the first and second sentences were the same!! Can someone please remove the second sentence?

And I realised I mustn't have closed the brackets on the series in the title (is that why it didn't link?) so can someone please fix that?

Thanks!


message 2528: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
Haha! Maybe you should ask one of us when you want a book added Kathryn ;) I'll fix it now!!


message 2529: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
All fixed Kathryn - and they don't automatically incorporate with the series. It has to be manually done :)

Kathryn | 3569 comments Brenda wrote: "Haha! Maybe you should ask one of us when you want a book added Kathryn ;) I'll fix it now!!"

It's OK, Brenda - I can generally do the simple ones myself without dramas! I just got a bit over-excited when I saw this one and didn't check everything properly (like the blurb!!) before I saved it! And obviously Allen & Unwin didn't care about the double sentence in the blurb, because they were where I got the blurb from, since my library's database didn't have one!

And I figure even if I make silly small errors, it's still easier for someone to tidy it up than have to enter it all from scratch!

You're a legend, Brenda!

I got that you were/are excited Kathryn ;) And it's no problems.. happy to help.

Krystal (krystallee6363) | 2304 comments Hello friendly librarians!

Can someone kindly add the following bio for Kelly Ann Charleson:

Kelly Ann Charleson lives in Ottawa, Canada. She draws from her work with children and training as a counsellor to create books that feature under-represented subject matters, including foster care, adoption, and illness, as well as books that are just for fun.

She hopes that children will look through her books and think 'hey, I could do this too!'

Also please feel free to pull her pic and any other fun things from her website: https://kelly-ann-charleson-expressio...

Thank you! This is my sister so even though she's all Canadian now (traitor) she totally classifies as an Australian Author :D

Can someone please correct the page number for this one for me?

I checked the ISBN matches my copy; it actually has 437 pages.

It is! There's an index at the back and some supplementary stuff but page 277 is only halfway through part 2 of 3.
