Anyway, now that I have developed regular habits, I don’t really pay attention to Goodreads anymore. I don’t think I’ve logged any books that I have read outside Kindle, for weeks. |

I log my books, so I have reading dates. I just don't participate in any challenge that has numbered goals.

Another interesting twist on "Goodreads listing unpublished books". So glad I dumped it many years ago

An author can't get anything they posted (like a cover before release that's never used) removed from Goodreads, never mind what anyone else posts.
Also Goodreads won't fix user generated errors such as listing an illustrator as an author. Last edited by Quoth; 08-14-2023 at 04:19 AM. |

They refuse to change from author to illustrator? Curious, I'l have to check the policies (I'm a librarian, not an administrator, a totally different beast).

Junior Administrator?
I know they call them librarians. But it's not a library. I've given up on Goodreads, sorry. |

One thing I really dislike is when the book blurbs have review junk in them. That's not part of a blurb.

Sometimes review bits in there are intentional, but not always. I agree it's annoying too though |

But the perception that things are more dangerous now than they were in the sixties, seventies or eighties is false. If anything, we are safer now than we ever have been. It's sensationalism in the news and John Walsh's promotion of the Adam Walsh story that makes us think things are more dangerous now. Last edited by ZodWallop; 08-18-2023 at 12:48 PM. |
