Edwina Book Anaconda | 26950 comments Posting here links to requests that need to be closed due to non-response, requests with insufficient information, or when a book from request is not valid for inclusion into the database.

Also, a place for questions and discussion.

Please check if Crazy Bot deleted the ISBN: 978-8807920202
Amazon link is there but it is a mess, showing format as CD but with an obvious print book cover and 64 page count.

OP requesting entire series of books. She needs to be told to move request to Series folder.


message 10: by Edwina (new)

Edwina Book Anaconda | 26950 comments I've decided to also put requests that look to be "easy adds" (because there is an Amazon link) here.

Edwina Book Anaconda | 26950 comments Maybe one of you can help with an old issue of mine from 2018.

I posted (probably) in Book Issues about a book that I own
ISBN: 0451405919
The wrong publisher and cover are on the book, and I asked for this to be fixed. It was never addressed. The only reason that I even remember this is because the cover photo is still in my profile pictures.
I don't know if anything can be done about this now or not.

My photo showing Topaz as the publisher and what the cover should be.

And the current GR book page with wrong cover and publisher.

message 42: by Priscilla (new)

Priscilla BookaddictNL (bookaddictnl) 10 days ago, I passed the librarian quiz with a score of 100% (again). After they revoked my status last year because of a mistake I made.

Just moments ago, I saw that I can retake the quiz—meaning they’ve rejected me again.

Although I loved being a librarian before all this, I’m done now.

This is it for me.
Goodreads staff clearly don’t appreciate the people who work for free to support them.

I want to let you all know that I will no longer be helping as an assistant. Why should I?

Good luck to the remaining librarians who now have to deal with the overwhelming number of requests. Please be careful about what you add to the database, as your status can be revoked over even the smallest mistake.

Thank you for all the hard work you do on this platform, especially as volunteers.❤️

Thanks for all the great contact with the librarians here and thanks for your support. The staff doesn't listen, but because of you I felt supported. 🫶🏻

Mr. James | 129 comments You said everything I want to READ. Smart woman you are. :)


message 45: by Bruno (new)

Bruno Rodrigues | 14526 comments @Priscilla, I can't express how your situation makes me feel.
I really don't understand what is the point of ignoring you, denying you a straight answer or explanation.

There really isn't much that I could say that would be helpful, just want you to know that your situation isn't indifferent to me.

Odd that it isn't in the database when it was released in August 2023.

Seeing this post has me in tears. As someone who has had to bury a child, I know the pain all too well.
Won't someone, please, create this book for a father who is mourning his son?
He has posted the cover and copyright pages to his profile.
