Sarah (sarahsreviews) | 24 comments At one point we had several different additional deleted scenes for City of Ashes listed as different books on Goodreads - these shorts are available on the authors website or occasionally added to special editions of the books but were listed separately so people could write individual reviews for them.

On the 10th of October someone (now a deleted user) has merged these editions in a way that has combined individual readers reviews into one post. I don't know how they did this but it isn't correct & I was wondering if there is any way to revers what they've done without having to re-create the books and getting people to re-add them to their shelves?

Here is the text shown for the changes in the librarian log:

Sarah (sarahsreviews) | 24 comments I have just noticed that the same thing has been done for other books in this series:
City of Bones
City of Ashes
City of Glass

Is this a new policy or has someone messed up?

Ah OK thanks for letting me know, it just seems really odd because these aren't part of the finished book - they're extra scenes.

Nonetheless, they are not considered books under GR policy.


Sarah (sarahsreviews) | 24 comments Thanks for clarifying
