Ms. Woc Reader Cherish Farrah is adult


message 29: by Clara (new)

Clara Made a lot of edits based on the above comments (plus a couple of miscategorized books I found myself) - here's a list of all the books removed by reason:

Not YA:
- Untitled (adult)
- House of Sky and Breath (adult)
- The Witch, the Sword, and the Cursed Knights (MG)
- Portrait of a Thief (adult)
- The Final Strife (adult)
- Vows of Empire (adult)
- Book of Night (adult)
- Cherish Farrah (adult)
- Where the Drowned Girls Go (adult)

Not a 2022 release:
- Beasts of Prey (2021)
- Little Thieves (2021)
- Defiant (2023)
- Untitled (2023)
- As Good As Dead (2021)
- A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (2019)
- Good Girl, Bad Blood (2020)
- Kill Joy (2021)

Both:
- Untitled (adult, post-2022)

Note that some books that I've removed for being adult have YA listed in their genres - this does not mean that they're actually YA, just that some GR members have shelved them as such.

Per author comment here, this series is being marketed as both YA and adult, similarly to Daughter of the Moon Goddess - since that has been kept on the list, I'll leave this one as well.

You can't. A Goodreads Librarian has to remove errant books.

Odd. They do to my YA monthly lists all the time.


message 49: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart Librarians can remove books, but if you have added the book yourself, you can just unvote for it, and it will disappear from the list in due time.


message 50: by Laina (new)

Laina SpareTime It must only be some then because I literally don't have that feature lol
