You need to be in the “desktop� mode (from website not app) if you are using your phone. This will allow you to use the link feature. Once you start a comment above the text box you will see “add book/author”…when you click on that it will bring up a search bar where you can find and post book by choosing either “book cover� or “link�. Then, if you go back and use the author tab the author should appear in the search related to the book.
Good luck! The desktop mode will allow you to come back and “edit� your original post to update so you don’t have several posts. You’ll notice that when you go back to your post…the option to “edit� or “delete�.
I hope this helps!

Once the June Read-a-thon thread is posted, make sure to put your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!
*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on ŷ, entering your page number at the end of each day. **For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on ŷ for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on ŷ, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full weekend tally on the thread.
