Hyacinth for Romance, I'll get it approved for ebook on the other thread :)

I'd like to get The Edge of Never approved for Young Adult and Song of the Fireflies for NOT having Young Adult on the genre page.

There are no genres listed for this book - probably because you are the only person who has rated it and nobody has reviewed it, so nobody has shelved it.

Well, it can be a problem if the genre you want is near the bottom and there are other genres with almost as many shelvings - then it just takes a couple people shelving a book as those other genres to push a genre that's low on the list off the main page when another genre gets more shelvings. It's the inevitable result of crowd sourcing - that's also why you see so many odd shelvings.

But I'd be willing to bet that "romance" will never leave the main page for Jane Eyre, or "science fiction" for any Isaac Asimov fiction!
