  I can’t get my Goodreads Widget to work in the sidebar. I enter my Goodreads ID # 4828608, and the box appears along with the goodreads button at the bottom, but the main window says there’s nothing currently on the shelf when I know there is. I’d really like to have it show what I’m currently reading.

  Any suggestions?

  Looks like that user id might be wrong – Can you please double check it?

  It looks like since you’re an author, Goodreads give you two different IDs – an Author one (the one you mentioned), and a user one.

  I think your user id is actually 5137233. Can you try this one please?

  That did the trick. Thanks!
