#453 Done

[Leah]

Would someone please remove the following books from Can't Wait Books of 2019? I created the list but I guess I'm only allowed to check for duplicates. Once these are deleted I'll post a comment to the list letting everyone know.

Published in 2017
Pawns of Warby Elizabeth May https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Published in 2018
The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air #1) by Holly Black https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The Bridge Kingdom (The Bridge Kingdom #1) by Danielle L. Jensen https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The King's Questioner by Nikki Katz https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Published in 2020
Jokes About Dead Girls by Richard Denney https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

[Renske]

455 Done, except for The King's Questioner. The only edition that had 2018 as publication date had no other information, all editions with an ISBN have 2019 as publication date. So I merged the duplicate and didn't remove it form the list.

Requesting for "The Banished Battle God (The King's Avatar, #1) by Hu Dielan" to be removed from this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

This novel is not a novel where the Female lead is the protagonist (Main Character).

Please remove the following books from

Please remove the following book from this list https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

The book is neither a mystery nor detective novel; it's fantasy.

In the List I created for works written before the common era (BCE), someone added The Mark of Wu, written not so long ago, but dealing with BCE events.
There are lots of other lists in which The Mark of Wu would fit, but not in a list for 2000+ year old writings.
Could someone please remove it?
Thank you!

can you post a link to your list and maybe the # the book is if it's a long list?

Can you please remove Rivers of London Volume 6
Rat Queens Special: Neon Static Vol. 1
Rat Queens, Vol. 5: The Colossal Magic Nothing (Rat Queens, #5)?

I can't determine if the first one has black leads and the other two are more ensemble casts with a token black character which was not the intention of the list.

Hello! Could someone please remove these from the Old Hollywood Women list above:

- Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between by Lauren Graham. (Graham's first movie appearance was in 1997... nothing Old Hollywood about that.)

- The Forgotten Flapper: A Novel of Olive Thomas by Laini Giles, since the listmaker asks that no fiction books be added

Thank you!

#467 & #468 done

Please remove:

Sulwe by Lupita Nyong'o (#18) from this list:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

The book features a protagonist from Kenya and therefore does not fit the list's stated goal of featuring protagonists who are neither black nor white. (I initially intended to read the book, to see if its protagonist belongs to another underrepresented category, but found it has not yet been published.)

[Audrey's Picture Books]

Please remove the following books from this list:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

These are historical fiction, a category the list's creator specifically requested contributors not to include:

Christmas in the Trenches by John McCutcheon (#189)
Blizzard by John Rocco (#165)
Pink and Say by Patricia Polacco (#191)
Louisa May and Mr. Thoreau's Flute (#244)
The Making of a Knight by Patrick O'Brien (#259)
When the Shadbush Blooms by Carla Messinger (#282)
The Yellow Star: The Legend of King Christian X of Denmark by Carmen Agra Deedy (#292)

These are fiction:

Little Rabbit's Christmas by Harry Horse (#191)
What's for Dinner? by Penelope Anne Cole (#191)
Sunshine's Excellent Adventures by Reggie and Anita Hill (#191)
Santa's Last Present by Marie-Aude Murail (#232)
Santa's Eleven Months Off by Mike Reiss (#244)
Cock-a-Doodle-Doo by Janet Stevens (#259)
The Santa Trap by Jonathan Emmett (#259)
In the Snow by Elizabeth Spurr (#282)
Snow Day! by Lester Laminack (#292)
Where Teddy Bears Come From by Mark Burgess (#302)

These do not appear to be picture books:

Super Smart Workout Series #1 by April Chloe Terrazas (#259)
My Book of Amazing Achievements by April Chloe Terrazas (#270)

Regarding the list referenced in 471 (Best non-fiction picture books):

There are several books on the list that fall into a gray area. The list's creator seems to have been seeking picture book non-fiction in a pretty strict sense (given the prohibition on historical fiction). Later contributors, however, have taken that to mean "books with a didactic purpose." Many books on the list are, strictly speaking, works of fiction. They appear to have been included, because they can be used in unit plans on specific topics. One such book features an anthropomorphic Pluto, who is upset at his reclassification as a dwarf planet. He decides to argue the matter with earth's astronomers and meets various other solar system objects on his journey. I would not consider these books nonfiction. My inclination is to get them taken off the list, which would then be reserved for actual works of non-fiction (which appears to have been the original purpose of the list). The presence of several Christmas stories indicates that users haven't been particularly scrupulous about the books they've proposed. Does Goodreads have an established definition of "nonfiction" that could be applied here?

Not in the sense you mean.

Hi there!

Can someone pretty please remove the book NanoMorphosis from this list:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

The list is for Swedish authors and novels and short story collections in Swedish.

Thank you!

Cheers,
boel

[Sandra]

#475 Done. However, there is another book that is only in English ~ Waiting for the Machines to Fall Asleep (#9). If there is a Swedish edition it needs to be combined.

Hi Sandra!
Then it shold be removed as well, my mistake.
All those short stories are available in different short story collections, but I don't believe there is a Swedish edition published. Thank you!

Has a whole bunch of books which do fit neither the title nor description: "No loveless sex, meaning no useless one night stand. No Infidelity on the female side..."

The books of Elliot Kay, Good Intentions, Natural Consequences and Personal Demons have bona fide cuckolding, regular cheating and infidelity on the female side.

The books by P.S Powers, Mr Hartley, Alternate Places have both infidelity aswell as poly armoury with his "wives" sleeping with everyone including his best friend. His book "On the Line" doesn't even have a male protagonist and has been added anyway.

Red Moon Demonlord technically doesn't fit either. Not only is it mostly one night stands and casual sex, where the list excludes this in favour of genuine romance. The women involved also have other male lovers.

Sam Ryder's The Monsterworld Saga in general does not fit. Not a single book. There is no romance or deeper relationship between any of these characters. It's a world of casual sex, where everyone gets it on with everyone, nobody is ever jealous and sex is given as a reward by the goddesses who effectively act as divine prostitutes.


Sorry for bringing up so many books at once. It just seems that people either don't care about the description or that the list hasn't been checked in quite some time. A large ammount of books which go outright against the description have slipped in.

Please remove the following books from this list:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

Here Comes the Garbage Barge by Jonah Winter (#156)
Reason: historical fiction

A Series of Very Unfortunate Monsters by Halimah Bint David (#189)
A Series of Very Unfortunate Monsters: Santa Clause, his Elves, and a Tooth Fairy, Too! by Halimah Bind David (#209)
Reason: informational fiction, rather than nonfiction

Visual Inspirations: A Visual Guide of Inspiring Words and Quotes by Avis J. Williams (#189)
Reason: children are not the target audience

Window by Jeannie Baker (#189)
Belonging by Jeannie Baker (#209)
Home by Jeannie Baker (#225)
Reason: informational fiction

Thanks.

Any thoughts on this book?

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It is included in the Best Nonfiction Picture Book list found here:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

Any Christian would surely consider it nonfiction, but its purpose appears to be inspirational, rather than informational. Personally, I tend to draw a line between books about theology, religious practice, and religious figures (which I'd consider nonfiction) and books of an inspirational or evangelistic character (which I personally wouldn't include in a list of nonfiction book recommendations). I don't want to impose my opinions on the rest of the world, but I'm not sure this book really counts as nonfiction. The description of the list isn't that informative:

"This list is for the best non-fiction picture books you know of. No historical fiction, please. Non-fiction picture books for children only."

[Maraud3r]

Is there ANY chance whatsoever to get someone to look at https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

Thoregon now added a bunch of books such as "Lewd Dungeon". These books DO NOT in any kind of way, shape or form qualify for the list and outright go against the description. The way things are going almost a third if not more books on the list should absolutely NOT be there.

Good morning,

On the list Best American (US) Short Stories (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...)
Book #68 - Two Dozen Dragon Eggs (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)
is a book of short stories, not just 1 story.

On the same list, book #71 Everything the Rises Must Converge: Stories (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) is a collection of her stories.

Please remove them.

Thank you.

#483 Librarians are volunteers, and whilst I for one have read a lot of books, none of these ones are my genre of choice. To say "look at this list" isn't useful.

So, if you have genuine concerns please list the books you think should be deleted, and a # would also be helpful.

[Angie]

Good afternoon,

On the List "Single Short Story" (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...)
aren't #81 - The Monkey's Paw (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...) and # 30 - The Monkey's Paw
(https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...) the same book?

Thanks a bunch!!!

They have different authors listed, so I don’t think so.

[Angie]

#81 is the actual story and # 30 is an adaptation with illustrations. Both have W. W. Jacobs listed as the author.

[Angie]

Good afternoon -

On the list Single Short Story (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...),
#161 - Where are you going, where have you been? Selected short stories (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...)
is a collection of stories not just one.

#312 - The Lottery and Other Stories (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...) is a collection of stories, not just one story.

Thanks for taking care of these.

Adaptations are not combined with the original works on Goodreads, so this is listed correctly.

[Angie]

Thanks to Chrissy and Olivia for looking at my short story question.

[Angie]

Like message #490, these 2 are from the Single Short Story list (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...)

#502 - Two Dozen Dragon Eggs (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) is a collection of stories

#527 - Gray Matter and Other Stories (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...) another collection of stories.

Thanks for taking care of this and #490.

Done, Angie.

at # 162 (there are quite a few of them) Where are you going? Where have you been? (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...)
