Unable to save bookmarks or add to reading list in Safari on Mac

For the past several months, possibly six weeks Safari has not allowed me to save bookmarks or add to my reading list, giving me the prompt that I have placed in the descriptive title.

Original Title: I can't add bookmarks in Safari, restarting Safari or Mac doesn't solve it. How can I fix it?

Sounds like Safari’s bookmark sync with iCloud might be stuck, which can stop you from adding bookmarks or saving to your reading list. Try turning off Safari in System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud, wait a bit, then turn it back on.
