Stas (ghostcat13) | 6 comments Hi Everyone,

Today I discovered that GR book is now made invalid.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Mothership-Zet...

Kobo : https://www.kobo.com/ww/en/ebook/moth...

Publisher: https://mothershipzeta.org/purchase/


I've read the guidelines and they mention that Magazines do not meet the Goodreads catalog guidelines.

Does this now mean that things like Uncanny Magazine, Apex Magazine, Beneath Ceaseless Skies and other similar publication no longer meet the Goodreads catalog guidelines?

All of these are no longer to be tracked by Goodreads?
Libraries have magazines, so why GR can't have them now?

Or am I misunderstanding something?

From purely personal standpoint, does this mean I now need to track my reading of these elsewhere? Because I will, if this really is the case.

Hoping to get some clarity.

Thank you.

Yes, same as the other two.

In future could you make just one post & either number the magazines or give them separate posts to make it easier for a fellow librarian to answer your request.

I'll just say literary magazines are allowed - especially if they have an ASIN.

& we can't use Kobo as an information source.

Stas (ghostcat13) | 6 comments Sorry about duplicate posts. I was not aware there were several posts made.
GR was taking a really long time to post and actually failed to load several times. Identical posts were apparently published, somehow.

Information dully noted.
Thank you for clarification.

Ha, I didn't realise they were duplicates - rather than different editions. I need more coffee!
