We Love Memoirs discussion

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Goodreads version of WLM!

Hi Alan. Thanks for starting this group!

Hooray!

Hello! !

Good move Alan!
Susan Joyce

Thanks for organising this, Alan!

Welcome Sally!
Susan Joyce

Hello, everyone. Sorry I've been a bit slow catching up with GR and how it all works. Here now! xxx :) Fran

Hi Fran!

Hello! Are we reading anything this month? :))

Glad to hear you're with us.
Susan Joyce

Hi Fran,
My reading books are overflowing the top of my coffee table. I'm reading two of Frank's and one of Savannah's at the moment. And you?
Susan Joyce

Various - waiting for two from the Book Depository, (Pawprints in Oman, and one of Victoria Tweads) and two more PDF's to review. That should keep me going over the weekend. xx :)

Alan Parks and Frank Kusy have both got books on goodreads giveaway at the moment-why not enter!!!

Thanks for that idea. I am reading Alan's book, and I don't have a kindle, so that does cut down my options at the moment. But one of these days.... ;D Thanks Julie! xx :)

Wow, look at you guys chatting over here! Thanks Fran, I hope you enjoy my book. :)

Fran-the goodreads giveaways are for PAPERBACK books-so it doesn't matter if you haven't got a kindle. You can still experience kindle books as well though- just download the kindle app from amazon for your computer/mobile phone or tablet until you get an actual kindle.

Welcome Frank! Thought you were already in here anyway! Your books are on-just need to put your new book on the shelves-it's to go in the non-memoir shelf by WLM members-yes?

Thanks, Julie! I'll go take a look. I tried to download the e-reader app onto my pc but it stalled everything and had to be uninstalled. :( I really should buy a handheld device! xx

Thanks, Alan. I'm reading too many books at the moment, but yours is great fun! :)

Julie,
Since my book has been reviewed on goodreads by several WLM members (all 5 star reviews) is it possible to reflect this in our group bookshelf?
Thanks!

Susan Joyce

Ok Susan, I have changed over the edition so now 10 ratings and about 6 reviews show if you click on your book. In the actual bookshelves list, the star ratings for the group books will be your own ratings. Click on any book and all friend reviews and group reviews should show, plus any other reviews. There were originally two editions of your book in the shelves but on this one the cover image isn't as clear so that's why I took it off and changed for the clearer edition. I've changed it over now and I will tidy the cover image up when I get a mo. X

Cherry, I noticed that both of your books wouldn't show on your author profile a while ago, I have altered this a bit ago so they do both display- it was just that a previous librarian had incorrectly entered your new book as by CHEERY Gregory!

Many thanks Julie! So glad you know how to do these things.

Sue Clamp, I've sorted your Agnil and the the Wizard's Orb cover as it wasn't quite the same size as your other book image-now they're equal so it should look better on your author page.

Susan, think I've sorted the cover-both editions should now show the slightly brighter and clearer cover.

Thanks for adding my book to the group bookshelf. I must admit to a complete lack of understanding of Goodreads in general and most sub-categories in particular. Without sounding like a complete div (which is probably what I am) what is the group bookshelf and what is its significance - you'll have to bare with me peeps.

Craig-the group bookshelf has books by We Love Memoirs members on it-I'm adding to it all the time-ones I've read, ones we all know about from Facebook group and I add new ones that I find out about. We have two categories; Memoirs by We Love Memoirs members and Non-Memoirs by We Love Memoirs members. Any that anyone thinks I've missed, please let me know and I'll add them.

Craig-the purpose of the bookshelves is so that members will know about books by WLM members and, as they have the exact titles, they can find them and buy them eg on amazon. They can also look at reviews of them from other WLM members and any other reviews generally.

Thanks for that Julie - a little knowledge goes a long way.

Muchas gracias Julie!

Julie, do you have room on the non-memoir shelf to add my books for children? I written several. Let me know how to send the info to you with the amazon info.
Thanks!
Susan joyce

Yes I will definitely put them on, Sue's children's books are already on. I will check your author page on good reads as I've noticed you have more books but can you send me all the titles and I will enter all of them into good reads if they're not already on and then on the bookshelves.

Would it work better if I sent them by email?
Thanks!
Susan

I've just sent you a facebook message to confirm if all the titles I see are correct and if they're all there so maybe just reply to that. I've added cover to ABC School Riddles just now x

Or if it's easier to email them eg with cover pics I'll PM you my email address.

All done except still no cover image for Out Of Context.

I can send it to you by email. Could be that it's out of stock. I'll check. Is it Naro, the Ancient Spider?

No Susan, the missing cover image is from 'Out Of Context'.

Since I didn't write a book by that title, not to worry. Maybe I should. Could be the dream gods sending me a special message.

Ok I will take that one off the We Love Memoirs bookshelf and your author page and change to Susan two spaces Joyce so it comes up as another author.

Done

Thanks Julie!

Well, I made it, but I don't get it! Lol. I'll have to have a poke around and try to figure it out.

Nice to see you here and glad to join.

Bambi, welcome! Glad you're here. I'm still trying to figure it all out.

Will do Steven!

Welcome Donald Bingle! I see you are a already a member of our facebook group. Thank you for adding your books. I have sorted them into our shelves-Your memoir is with Memoirs BY WLM authors and all your other books are in the Non-Memoir books by WLM authors. If I have made any errors and you have any more memoir books in your list, please let me know so I can organise them correctly on our shelves.
