Please check if Crazy Bot deleted this book.
Amazon link is there. Strange that is wasn't auto imported.

Bruno Rodrigues | 14517 comments @Edwina, can you please delete your post in this thread?
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

You can make this question to Ollie here.

Otherwise this request will stay open for another 3 months.

If we can't solve this, I'll ask Support what to do with this.

Deleted.
Sorry, I was only trying to be helpful and find the book.

Bruno Rodrigues | 14517 comments No need to say sorry at all. It was a good idea.
But in this particular case, I think it is better to leave it in the end of the backlog.
If it stays there for 2 or 3 days more, I'll ask Support about it.

Ginny (itsginnysbooks) | 693 comments https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... → I’d close this request since the OP didn’t follow the template and is asking for an entire comic series (20+ issues), which would be crazy work for one request. Also, the website provided no info on the comics and I’m pretty sure it isn’t an acceptable source.

Edwina Book Anaconda | 26935 comments Hey Everybody! (I'm doing a Happy Dance!!!)

Jaclyn is willing to create a languages folder and is asking for input.
She posted on my thread here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Please go and let her know your thoughts on this!

48k words is a grey area.
Some sources say over 80k words to be novel-length, others say 50k, others 40k.
This has been asked to GR and we haven't got a definitive answer.

I remember having added a story with little over 40k words in the past, but it was part of a 3-story series.
It would be weird to have #1 and #3 and not #2

But usually fanfics and Wattpad stories between 40k and 80 I just leave them, without adding or closing without adding.

Thanks! It’s always interesting to see the variety of interpretations for what qualifies as novel-length. At the small publisher I collaborate with, anything under 60-70k words is generally considered a novella or even a short story, so I went with that habit here.

On a side note, I just noticed my librarian application was rejected. Not a huge surprise considering what I read on other threads, but I thought I’d mention it. I think I’ll try again in a few days when I have time, maybe I'll get luckier.

I'm sorry, Ginny! You're working so hard and your contribution here is highly appreciated.
With librarian status you could accomplish even more...

Ginny (itsginnysbooks) | 693 comments 1. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... → It’s not entirely clear what the OP is specifically requesting here, but it seems they might be pointing out that the book is listed under "Allen James" instead of "James Allen."

2. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... → same person. the book is there linked by them. Only thing i see is the description being in english and not bengali

3. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... → again, the description is in English rather than Bengali.

I noticed the Bengali thread has been very inactive, so I didn’t see the point in posting there. Maybe this can be addressed where possible, or closed since the books are already listed.
