I'm having a hard time getting here With a Little Help from Your Friends [1 book] ~ Click Friends --> Popular Books and read 1 book found on this list.

Okay, lemme poke around and see what I can do to help.

Hi Trina. I found two links that should work, but neither is currently working. One was found on the 'Friends' page, on the top right side bar: Books My Friends Are Reading. The other I'd saved in a list, so I'm not sure where you'd find it otherwise, is: Popular Books Among My Friends This Month. For both links, I'm getting a GR error:

"Goodreads request took too long. The latest request to the Goodreads servers took too long to respond. We have been notified of the issue and are looking into it."

Maybe it'll eventually work. Until it does, skip that part of the challenge.

ok thanks Steph

You're welcome, sorry I couldn't verify those two worked correctly.
