Post the image you want somewhere else on the internet. The easiest place is typically Facebook - but make sure you post it on a public page. If the image isn’t yours, or is a gif or meme, just find it online somewhere and then continue to step 2.

Right-click (or control + click on MAC) on the image and select 'Copy Image Address'

Type in the Goodreads field this stream [image error]

Note: the only space that should exist in that line of text is between the img and the src - and the space before and after the entire line of text. So it will look like this: [image error]
