This bug will be gone next time we update the #BookWyrm software. In the meantime, âQuoteââposts will work if given a complete page range, such as On page 10 to 10.

Une connaissance inutile est le troisiĂšme ouvrage de Charlotte Delbo sur les camps de concentration. âŠ
En enfer
on ne voit pas mourir ses camarades
en enfer
la mort nâest pas une menace
en enfer
on nâa plus ni faim ni soif
en enfer
on nâattend plus
en enfer
il nây a plus dâespoir
et lâespoir est dâangoisse
au cĆur dâoĂč le sang se retire.
Pourquoi dites-vous que câest lâenfer,
ici.
There's something to be flagged here about editions versus works, but I'm much too tired to keep track of my own thoughts on it. Broadly speaking, though: hopefully these two critically distinct technical roles will not get muddled up in all the talk of books because in some cases "book" really ought to be either "edition" or "work" and to assume the wrong meaning would cause hassle down the line! [2]
In the meantime, I am going to wean myself off the buzz of keeping absolutely complete records through status-shelving[3]; learn to love the annual Reading Goal page as a clue to the state of each edition's âŠ

In the meantime, I am going to wean myself off the buzz of keeping absolutely complete records through status-shelving[3]; learn to love the annual Reading Goal page as a clue to the state of each edition's respective "Your reading activity"; and be more attentive as to how the reading date data fall. [5]
Looking forward to that refactor --- settling into a groove should become more intuitive afterwards, especially for newcomers. (And I find the idea of independent privacy settings for reading activity exciting! I worry, lightly, sometimes about doxxing my mates or embarrassing author acquaintances if my reading history veers someday toooo niche, you know? What other uses will people come up with from such powerful new affordances? Super cool!)
[1] That would be BookWyrm pull request #â2170: 'Refactors reading status Shelf and ReadThrough logic'
[2] I get the impression not many other wyrmsters are juggling multiple editions in their reading activity yet.
[3] I will still exploit whatever loophole lets me shelve multiple editions of a work at once under "Currently Reading" (and thus enjoy all the associated mod cons on the homepage); but nominate only one of them for the "Read"/"Stopped Reading" shelves[4].
[4] This could be a problem if one edition proves worth finishing while another definitively does not. And by could I mean without a doubt will be. Sooo fingers crossed I (and anyone else in this sort of position) finish everything or get even more over status-shelving before that problem arises. That is, until #â2170 is implemented and hopefully editions' actions can fly around properly independently of each other...?
