Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

Need a book adding, information updating or a cover uploaded? We have several librarians in this group happy to help out members.

Please link to the book info on Amazon, Audible or the publisher/author's website. We are not allowed to add anything taken from retailers not owned by Amazon.

Note all requests should follow Goodreads policies as outlined in the official librarians group:

Hello!

These should all be done now.

Thank you so much Ellie!! It's just this link that still has an incorrect page number: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

You're the best!

OK, *now* they're all done. I'd find it so frustrating not to be able to fix little things like that myself.

Thanks Ellie! It really is annoying to not be able to add/edit page numbers since I spot errors almost everyday and just have to ignore the majority of them. I should probably start thinking about taking that librarian test so I can stop posting librarian requests and annoying people all the time! xD

Darn, I forgot you had created this discussion! I saw a book the other day that had the completely wrong/different book in the preview, and now I can’t remember which book it was. If I find it, is that something you can fix Ellie?

The preview feature is limited to the US so another librarian might have to look into that, unless it's something obvious like wrong ISBN listed so the preview goes to that ISBN.

Edit: OK I can see it on US editions! I've never used it before because I tend to shelve UK editions.

Please can i get the cover (thats not loading properly) on this The Complete Fairy Tales changed to : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hans-Christi...

Do you mean the picture is showing the book at an angle? The ISBNs on your two links don't match, the one you linked to on Amazon is on Goodreads as:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...


Do these editions need combining?

Would it be possible to get a page count added to the paperback edition of Once Upon a Time, please?

Amazon is here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1...

Thank you! :)

I'm currently reading Kinauvit?: What's Your Name? the Eskimo Disc System and a Daughter's Search for Her Grandmother but I noticed that there is a second page for the exact same book: Kinauvit?: What’s Your Name? The Eskimo Disc System and a Daughter’s Search for her Grandmother

The second one has the correct cover art, but no page count, and they both have an April publication date even though it was published Oct. 29th, 2022. Could the pages be combined and the publication date fixed please?

Here's the publisher's page:
https://douglas-mcintyre.com/collecti...

Thankyou.

@Siobhan I added the page count to the paperback edition.

@Kendra combined and date amended.

Fantastic! Thank you so much :)

Is there a way the publication year can be added to this book? It was published in 2022 as indicated in this Amazon link:

https://www.amazon.com/Diego-Garcia-S...

It looks like this poor book is suffering from a couple of other issues. Give me a moment and I'll combine its editions.

All done. Publication dates should be good now for all editions.

Y'all are warmly welcome. 😊

Hello, I’ve got a couple of book addition requests open in the Librarian group if anyone can help?

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

I took care of both books.

Please be a little more patient in the future and keep your inquiries in the appropriate thread. Many Thanks

I really appreciate your help RoXXie, thanks.

You are welcome

Hi, I picked up a charming looking book at a used bookstore today. It is Three Cornered Love by Nancy Hoyt, published by Doubleday, Doran & Co, Garden City, NY in 1932. Can you please get that added to GR? I did find an Amazon link:

https://www.amazon.com/Three-Cornered...

I added it Robin. The Amazon cover is shown with the Caxton edition, so I left it off.

Thanks!

One of our Irenes kindly provided this link to help find titles to go with various setting starting with A, T, or Y for our 2023 prompt.

https://www.goodreads.com/places

The only problem is that the 100 page list only goes through the location "Muglione". I'm assuming that there might be a page limit for lists like this, in a similar way to how we can only vote/suggest 100 titles per Listopia.

Is there some way to find the rest of the alphabet of Places (so we can get those T and Y locations)? I wasn't able to find the Places page just by using the Goodreads navigation, so I don't know if there is a second link provided somewhere for the rest of the alphabet.

Is this something Librarians can help with — or do any of you just happen to know as "mere mortals"?

Seems like a bug. I've tried just upping the page number in the URL which would work if it was just the UI limiting it, but that's returning the content of the last page.

I tried the same thing Ellie - no luck.

Please could someone help. please add
How Rice Met Peas by Leonie Althea

Done!

Shakespeare's Macbeth: A Graphic Novel

Would it be possible to get this little book added? I put in a request a couple months ago. If I just need to wait for that, no problem, but I thought I would ask! :)

* Title: Four Women Camping Across the United States in 1930
* Author(s) name(s): Mildred Walk Lowe
* ISBN (or ASIN): 0-8059-3823-0
* Publisher: Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.
* Publication date: 1996
* Format: paperback
* Page count: 24
* Description: The world was a different place in the thirties: people were more open, more honest, and more trusting. Our nation was the kind of place where four young women could pack up a Ford sedan and camp across the country together, depending only on their wits, their friendship, and the hospitality of strangers. Set against the often hostile world of the nineties, Four Women Camping across the United States in 1930 is a remarkable and well-told tale.
Our narrator, the driver for this daring group, Mildred Walk Lowe, recounts the story of their adventures across America with vivid detail and fond memories. Her tale is full of spirit and adventure, and many readers may find themselves wistfully pondering a time when our country was safe for all - and a wonder in and of itself. Four Women Camping across the United States in 1930 is not only a delightful travel book but also a fascinating character study of the fortitude of these four headstrong women - and of our own rich and varied culture.

Hi, I've added it without an image as I couldn't find one that wasn't a photo of the book.
