Just a note on how much I love that mods in book groups have been sending messages to members about the month's new challenges-thanks for doing that, Leigh! I know you always have, so it's extra helpful now. GR has pretty much stopped sending any email notices. I don't like messing with the notifications on the site, and unlike most sites, I hate the GR app. Either way, there's too many notices to go thru, so I always had signed up for what I wanted when a thread got commented or one of the mods posted. But now I'm gettin' nuthin' lol. Yay for messaging!

I am glad it is helpful. Glad you are enjoying the challenges. I'm not a big fan of the app, either.

Yes, there are two tabs at the right top corner of the comment box. One tab will let you add an author/book link or cover. The other tab has different link you can add. I hope this helps.
