I won The Last London, by Iain Sinclair. (And why the first title that comes up for touchstoning is The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning is more than I can fathom.)

I am unbelievably happy to have won the newest Ian Rutledge mystery by Charles Todd, The Gate Keeper. I've read every book in this series and it's one of my favorites.

I won that Sinclair, too, and am very hopeful it's as enjoyable and instructive as the other title of his I've read. I suspect in some sense, these are all contributing chapters to a single, sprawling work.

I won NAM:The Story of a Generation by Mel Smith and In the Weeds by Mark Ozeroff. So happy to read these both.

Question: How do I add the direct links to books here?

27tealadytoo
Edited: Nov 7, 2017, 11:53 am

>26 jlcollins2:. To get the direct link to a book, you enclose the title in square brackets. The site will search for the book, and it will show up as a touchstone on the right. It doesn't always find the right book, and if that happens, you click "others" in the touchstone box and select the right book from the drop-down menu.

Sometimes the touchstone does not appear on one of my devices. For that one, if I make the post, and then edit it, the touchstone appears with the edit.

Hope this helps!
