Em__Jay | 500 comments I came across a book initially published in 1965 that has 2 separate entries. The title is the same (Aunts Up The Cross) but the author name differs (Robin Dalton and Robin Eaton). According to Wikipedia, Dalton was the author's married name, but at the time of publication, she was divorced.

It seems books using both names do exist, and I think it's logical for them to be placed under the one entry, but I am not sure what GR policy is about such situations.

Aunts Up the Cross by Robin Dalton
Aunts Up The Cross by Robin Eakin

Sandra | 1178 comments We put the book under the name it was first published under and add the secondary name to the books published under the secondary name as well.

Looking into it :)

Linked both authors as well as fixing the book.

Suz | 4432 comments Hello librarians.. could I please have someone do this for me?

Another Woman's Child doesn't have an audio version. I have included the link from Bolinda Publishing, which is the version I am listening to.

Many thanks

Suz | 4432 comments Hello clever librarians. I am listening to this on audio - Bolinda. Silver Wedding and my edition is not here on GR. The closest I could find is this link to a library:

https://library.maitland.nsw.gov.au/l...

Which is quite funny as our illustrious mod, Brenda will know this library well.

May I please have this added?

Many thanks.

Krystal (krystallee6363) | 2304 comments Can anyone do anything about the porn associated with this account? Fair warning - it's graphic images!

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

Attempted friending by someone who 'liked' reviews from this 'author's' work. Not too keen on stumbling across things like that, and this is a website used by kids so surely there's some kind of censorship that should apply?

I won't even look at it Krystal - that needs to go straight to Goodreads. Please go to the Help section and find the 'contact us' link and send through your link with the information. Thanks... these people make me sick just quietly!!

I have done so, thank you! Why do people do this stuff honestly.

Thanks Krystal - as you say, young people have full use of the site except those groups which are set to private. And I know they're supposed to be 13+ but that is still far too young to view that sort of rubbish in my opinion!


message 2728: by Tarmia (new)

I can’t believe this hasn’t been deleted by GR yet. Makes me furious! I’m going to report it as well.

message 2736: by Trish L (new)

Trish L | 139 comments I have just re-read a book ( for book club) that I listed as read a couple of years ago, and can see no way to re-record this in my current year's list. Am I trying to do the impossible, or is there a way around this ?


message 2737: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
To do a re-read and record it Trish, you 'review another edition'. So for example, The Berlin Zookeeper - where you have the book's profile in front of you, you'll see one or more editions. If you've read it once and want to read it again, click on the middle 'review ?? edition'. So you can do a complete new review (or just rating) of the different edition and it'll show you've read it 2 times. I hope that makes sense...


message 2738: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 1178 comments Or now that we can re-read books, go to your edition ~ you change from read to currently reading, then once again hit read and it will take you to the edit page where you enter the new dates. You will also see the existing date read. So 2 (or more) re-reads of the one edition.


message 2739: by Krystal (new)

Krystal (krystallee6363) | 2304 comments I just add the dates read? Or for example, I just started re-reading Shadow and Bone and as soon as I changed it to 'currently reading' it noted the date as a fresh start date and says 'reading for the second time'. I've never had to change editions?

Exactly. We used to have to do it the way Brenda described, but they added re-reading about 2 yrs ago, where you don't have to change editions.


message 2741: by Trish L (new)

Trish L | 139 comments Thanks Brenda and others. I had tried to do what you suggested on my Android tablet and it did not want to know, so - lightbulb moment - I tried again, as per your instructions, on my Windows laptop. Success! Good old Windows...

It seems that a lot of things just don't work unless you use the laptop! Frustrating for other users :)


message 2743: by Tien (last edited May 09, 2021 04:40PM) (new)

Tien (tiensblurb) | 631 comments So, I can combine book editions and I know to check author's names to make sure all book editions link to same author to enable combining BUT how do I combine to 2 author profiles?

Kim Kelly
Kim Kelly

Or how do link to the right Kim Kelly for the books? Usually, I could tell if there's an additional space etc but I can't this time?

ETA: There is an extra space... so 2 different authors, I think, no worries, I've amended all that needs to :)


message 2744: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
Kim - https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... - is correct, and her name has to have two spaces between Kim and Kelly. So the books for the unknown profile that are hers, need to have the spaces added. Do you want to do that Tien, or will I?


message 2745: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 80002 comments Mod
When I clicked on two of her books on the wrong profile, they went to hers. So perhaps someone has already started to fix it??
