Hi Ellie! Some help with book linking. When you are writing your comment (this is when using a computer/laptop, not the app), there is a link above the comment box right of the middle of the box that says "add book/author". If you click that, it will bring up a pop up that will allow you to search the book and select it and automatically add it to your post. At the bottom of this popup, you can switch between "cover" and "link", based on what you want to see when you post the comment. :)

Hope that helps!
