Goodreads Widget Showing wrong book

    I’m an author and whenever I try to add the Goodreads widget, instead of showing my book, it keeps showing some random book about periods and growing up. And it is the same book, every time. I’m not sure what to do, as I’ve followed the support page about setting it up multiple times and it never works. Any ideas?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi,

    Have you checked you’re using the correct ID?

    Note for Goodreads Authors: Your author ID may not match your user id. If you enter the id as retrieved above and it doesn’t display your bookshelf, you’ll need to fetch your ID from your public author page. To do this, select the arrow next to Follow Author, and for the ‘Add as a friend’ option, right click and select ‘Copy Link Address’. The first number in the copied link is your User ID.

    Also note: Any time you make changes to the shelf you’ve specified at Goodreads.com, the change will show up automatically.

    Hope this helps :)
