    Can you give me the link to your Goodreads profile so I can check if it’s truly open?

    Looks good to me. Can you show me a screenshot of your widget settings? (If you’re on Windows 10, the Snipping Tool is great for this.)

    @kannmcc Your shelf is called “currently-reading”, not “Currently reading”. Correct that and I think it should work.

    @imagineds seems to be working fine now.

    I fixed that and it still says error retrieving data.

    You also have an extra “9” at the end of the Goodreads user ID that shouldn’t be there according to your link.

    Corrected that. Still showing an error.

    If your shelf name is “currently-reading” and the profile ID is “30992656”, then the only thing left I can think of is the API key. Double-check that, and if it’s correct, then I’m at a loss, sorry.

    @kannmcc, please check out the new version 1.5.4 which should prevent many of the “Error retrieving data from Goodreads” messages people have been seeing.
