to create a link for a book, use brackets like this [ :] ---- but without the colon, which keeps appearing no matter what I do LOL

Inside those brackets, put--- book:title of book

When you post this, it will turn into a link

OMalleycat | 24 comments I'm just testing my ability to follow these instructions. Thanks for the info, JoAnn. What a lot of work you put in on setting up this outpost.

Okay, test: Pride and Prejudice

OMalleycat | 24 comments Cool!

What a great way to make the Book Nook Cafe board's group reads nominations easier, not to mention monthly lists and random book mentionings.

I bet you can guess. Not much at all, and am only continuing because my local group wanted to read it. I'm not enjoying the anthropomorphized dog, or the pathos. Maybe if I was a fan of racing, but unfortunately I am not. Maybe something will happen to raise my opinion, but I'm not holding out much hope.

I discovered that you have to put book:title in between the brackets. So, before your title, write "book" and then the colon. Hope this helps!

Just click on that. you search for the book by title or author, select link or jacket. Than click on Add.

It's easy !

While My Sister Sleeps by Barbara Delinsky Just click on the book jacket.

In your first post about this, if you had put the word book instead of fiction, it would have worked!

First you have to put a bracket like this [

then you put the word - book - followed by a colon

after the colon, put the book's title

After the title, put an ending bracket ---one of these :] -------- but without the darn colon that keeps appearing no matter what I do!

Catamorandi (wwwgoodreadscomprofilerandi) | 28 comments Yay!!! Thanks, JoAnn.


message 23: by Alias Reader (new)

Alias Reader (aliasreader) It easier to just click on the words Add Book/Author that is on the top of your reply box. Then to type out HTML.

Search by author or title. Click on the box for either a book cover or a link. And Click on Add.

Note the book jacket and the link both give you the same link to the GR info page about the book.
