The "add book" button opens a window to type in an author and title to "search," but the "search" just stops when I type in the author and title.
The book for which I want to vote has been subjected to serious bans--not just questions of appropriate age/reading level. (A LOT of books I've loved have been subject to disputes about age and reading level, especially in grade three when I was told that all the interesting books in the school library were off limits until I was in grade four. Some, like The Handmaid's Tale, which I recommend for all adults, are books I wouldn't give to anyone who wasn't well on the way through adolescence and hadn't read things with similar levels of sex and violence before.)
I could easily vote for at least 25 of the 113 books on the list as books I want to keep, for myself, if not to read with children--but I want to add, as a serious work for adults, Lies My Gov't Told Me by Robert W. Malone.
I'd also like to add Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder--foolish people are trying to ban that series now.

This sounds more like a bug than a RSI.

I suspect it's probably the apostrophe that is breaking it, particularly if you are on a phone. Try searching for Lies My Gov Told Me instead and see if that works
