Hi! Just wondering if anybody knows how to change the edition they are reading without having to delete and re add? I noticed last night when I posted an update that the page count of my book was wrong and when I checked the ISBN its different. This happens all the time to me as I just add books to my tbr as I think of them but then when I buy them they are never the same edition/cover.

Hope that helps:)
Tracy, I also add books to my TBR when I see one I think that I would like to read and then frequently find the library book I borrow has a different ISBN. So, when I get the library book in hand, I enter the ISBN in the search field and then switch the edition if it is different. Do it all the time!
I know at one point we had a task that we had to read books written by the same author under 2 different pen names such as Nora Roberts/ J.D. Robb. and I know we had a whole list of them. Does anyone happen to know where that is? I've been looking around and can't seem to come up with it. Thanks

Man is this embarrassing - IT WAS MY OWN TASK!!!!
lol...funnily enough, when you asked the question, I wondered if it was yours...because I remembered you did an author one and a series one (two series by same author; at least one had to be first in series)

Does anyone know if it's possible to do a search within a search on goodreads? For example, can I search within a genre for a book title or author? Can I search for books that are in 'genre a' AND 'genre b'? Can I search within a particular shelf or list for something? thanks :)
you can search for books that are on your multiple shelves in your profile , but not as a general search or list
I really wish GoodReads would work on a good advanced search for both books and author profiles. Sometimes using Google can help you find what you need. Just add "site:goodreads.com" without the quotes onto the end of your search.

It would sure make finding books for certain tasks a bit easier :)
