If you've deleted the characters requested, and are still getting the message, this may help. If you've had to delete a number of extra characters, sometimes "ghost characters" exist at the end of the last line. Position your cursor to the right of the period on the last line and use the delete key to eliminate these extra characters. Or use your mouse, select to the right of the last period, and hit the delete key.

• Title - enter the exact title of the book
• Author - if you've entered a book by this author before, simply choose their name from the Author I've Read list.
• New Author - For new authors, type their name in the New Author box in first name last name order (e.g. Samuel Writer).
• Subject - Choose an appropriate Subject from the list. The most common fiction subjects are: Fiction, Mystery, Romance and Thriller.
• Pages - (optional) Number of pages in the book
• Read? - Leave as Yes unless you needed to show this book hasn't yet been read.
• Date Read - Defaults to current month. Optionally you can change to more accurately reflect when read.
• Grade - How would you rate this book? Grade it A-F, A being best of course.
• Comments - Optional, but this is what really tells everyone what this book was about and how you liked it! Comments should be concise; maximum of approximately six lines of text.
• Most importantly - click Add Book when you're done. Your book won't be added unless you do, and that's a lot of wasted work!

All you have to do is immediately log back in to myBookCorner. Your book is then automatically added to your Corner.

You must act immediately however. Once you leave the logon error page you lose the information needed to "find" your lost book. (So if you have left that page use your Back browser button until you find that logon error page!)

We're not talking about a lengthy book review! Comments should be concise; a maximum of approximately six lines of text. Just a few sentences - that's all we ask!

If you go over, you'll get a message telling you exactly how many characters you need to delete to read 255. Delete this number of characters and then click Add Book once again.

• Enter the correct author name in the New Author box.
• Click the Change Book button and the corrected author's name will show.
• As usual, enter the author's name as first name then last name (e.g. Samuel Writer).

The problem comes if you click Add Book more than once. You will then likely get two of the same book.

It's easy to fix. At the mybooks page click on the extra book. Then on the change books page click the Delete Book button.

If this is a persistent problem, you can modify your browser settings to always get a new copy of the page. For example in Internet Explorer 5.0:

• Click on Tools then Internet Options
• Click on Settings
• Click on the option: Check for newer versions of stored pages - Every Visit to the Page

Thrillers are often action-oriented suspense novels. There is a tightly-woven plot and many "thrills" in these stories. Examples include spy novels, government conspiracies, War stories, etc.

Fiction applies to always any novel, so it's mainly reserved for those stories not belonging to a typical genre (like Mystery, Romance or Thriller). Novels of serious subjects (often Book Club or Oprah-recommended books) would be classified as Fiction. But Fiction is so broad that's only one example.
