As for #1, it was from an ARC and has been deeply revised (I unliked it). If it can't be fixed, what do you suggest I do?
I may add my published book quote as a new one...
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. At the beginning of my Goodreads journey, I didn't know how it worked.
Thanks again
Hi MirellaTo me, this is a completely different quote. If you assure me it no longer appears in the book I think I can delete it, but I'll have to check.
Your like is still showing (sometimes things take a day or two to take effect around here)
Edit: typo
Hi CarolYeah sure. I've just tried to buy a Kindle book on amazon.com as Gift, but I'm from Italy and unfortunately I must be in my country/region to purchase eBooks for others.
Please check it out here:
Read sample

It's a mashup of two lines:
On page 1: Marika, a pristine beauty in an “Albert
Einstein” T-shirt,
...
On page 5: She represented spontaneity and lightness for him, everything that was missing in him.
Thank you very much for your time

Hi Mirella
I meant check with the moderator/other librarians. Sorry I was unclear. But I'll take a look at your link & see if we can work it that way. :)
I'm just getting of the computer for a bit now though.

Hi Mirella
I've just read this properly & that is very sweet of you, but it should never cost an author any money to get help in this group. We are volunteers & we just like helping people. 😊
Next time, since this is so different I would recommend explaining that the previous version didn't make it to the final version of the book & ask for it to be deleted. Then you can just add the final version yourself.

You can re-add your like now.


I'm checking out my quotes... Would you be so nice to edit the following? They were all from an ARC.
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8194...
Should read: “She was a pristine beauty in an “Albert Einstein” T-shirt ... and represented spontaneity and lightness for him, everything that was missing in him.”
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7524...
Should read: "The French poet Mallarmé claimed that “everything in the world exists to end up in a book.” So if every boy is a book, Federico, well-mannered and melancholy, was some kind of modern Edward Scissorhands created by a graphic novelist; while Matteo was pure passion like Romeo: intense, idealistic and imperfectly real."

Should read: "Everything around her was in a fog; the intense light that always shone in his aquamarine eyes was the only thing in focus, but it was suddenly unknown... different."
Thank you in advance for your kind help.
