Laurèn Lee | 28 comments Hello,

I just have a quick question regarding my author stats.

For "on to-read shelf", I see a "-1" and I was just wondering what that meant.

Thank you!

lethe | 16359 comments I see a 0 on your to-read shelf, unless you mean something different? The shelves are not author stats, but user stats.

Since this has to do with site functionality, it is a question for the Feedback Group. See f.e. this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Since this has to do with site functionality, you can either post in the Feedback Group or contact support (at) goodreads (dot) com

Librarians have the ability to refresh a book's stats, which probably would have corrected the issue. Either someone did so without posting, or the cache refreshed on its own.

The author's single book now shows a positive number of to-reads.

lethe | 16359 comments You mean there was a -1 under the rating details of Lauren's book? It was unclear to me that this was what was meant and where I was supposed to look.
