Adrienne Young | 3 comments Hi there, My novella titled "Tides: Paj & Auster" has completed disappeared from Goodreads and my profile. Where has it gone? Could it be located and restored? I've had lots of readers asking where it is has gone and why they can't add or rate it any longer. Please help! Thank you!

Liralen | 8238 comments I don't see it on Amazon, etc. (Does it have an ISBN?) Was it by chance a book that readers could only access by (for example) signing up for a newsletter? GR policy is to not include such books in the database.

The issues is not whether it's available in print; ebooks are fine. It's being subscription only. Such items are not considered published books on Goodreads, and are marked as non-book items (or deleted entirely if they have no reviews) when they are noticed.

Liralen | 8238 comments Typically if a book (or other item) that doesn't meet GR criteria has ratings/reviews, it's taken out of the main GR catalogue (so to speak) but not deleted outright.

I'd suggest posting in this group again if the book is more broadly available in the future so that someone can either move the current edition or point you in the right direction.

lethe | 16368 comments I see the title was merged into Fable, so the reviews will have been added to that title instead.
