Thanks

"Adult Fiction" is listed as a main page genre.

However, the genre listed is "Adult Fiction," not Adult alone (assuming that you're asking for the 50 point task. The task states "READ A BOOK with a main page genre of "Adult". The genre tag is limited to "Adult" and does not include other genres containing the word."

If the genre list expands, you may find it there again.

I was at a GR program on Friday, and I raised this question - why does the genre list shrink and grow, for the same book, sometimes on a daily basis. The folks there seemed as mystified about it as I was - I'm thinking that this list of main page genres isn't something that most people pay much attention to. However, at least this has been raised, so they are aware of it as a weird thing.

Sandy - I raised that question when I was at the GR thing last October in the moderator group and they acknowledged then...but nada...I posted something in the feedback group tonight about it (could we get a number locked or something...

Is it because I looked while on a computer? Now on my
Phone it doesn't show. It's very frustrating

I believe that it is difficult to see genres on the mobile app.

Interesting - they acted as if they had never heard of this problem when I brought it up.

We bombarded them last year - maybe it got lost
