 * MY WP theme is The Avada theme. It’s supposed to be good for anything or so they
   say, but I hate the page it chooses to display my books on and I don’t know how
   to change it. I just want my books to display something like what they do in 
   your screenshot.

 * I accidentally posted this twice. I went and deleted everything on the other 
   post but the post is still there – just with nothing in it. Can someone delete
   it for me please?

 * I don’t have moderator privileges so I can’t help with the duplicate post.
 * The theme I am using in the screenshot is Responsive by CyberChimps (free in 
   the WordPress.org repository — [http://wordpress.org/themes/responsive](http://wordpress.org/themes/responsive))
   with a few customizations. I’ve also used it with the theme that I wrote, Museum
   Core, and it seems to work well ([http://wordpress.org/themes/museum-core/](http://wordpress.org/themes/museum-core/)).
   It sounds from your other post like your theme is setting a very large thumbnail
   image and has some very specific ideas of how it wants to display content. I 
   won’t say that the theme is a “problem” per se, but it’s possible that it might
   need customization via a child theme to display the books in a way that really
   works.
 * You might try different shortcode variations to see if they work better with 
   the theme.[http://wordpress.org/plugins/book-review-library/other_notes/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/book-review-library/other_notes/)
