It isn't specified on the List description exactly what is the criteria used for a short story. So I'm not inclined to remove it...."

Wikipedia calls it novella and it has "Novels" as genre (2 users marked it), I removed it.

Could someone please remove 'The Good Son' by Paul McVeigh from this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

On p. 21 (linked to) #1952 is Gone Girl: by Gillian Flynn -- Review
by Expert Book Reviews. This author is nongendered.

[Krazykiwi]

#365 Done.

I thought you meant that Gillian Flynn was non-gendered and got confused. Then I figured it out :)

[Lobstergirl]

Thank you.

I found an author and book today on one of my lists inappropriately. It was one of those 68 ratings with 37 reviews and 37 votes on each list that it was on with suspiciously similar profiles on most of the 37.

I removed it from my list. I removed it from another list that I helped maintain. I added it and two others of the author's books to an appropriate list Unknown books on more than 60 Goodreads Lists. I reported the author to goodreads.

Any other thoughts on what to do? In the past when I've reported these kind of things, I've had pretty much nothing happen. Most people don't create listopia lists with an eye to avoiding inappropriate postings.

Remove books from a list request:
List: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5...

Books:
Friend of the Devil (#37)
Scorn of Angels (The Descended, #2) (#38)

Thank you :)

[Ayshe]

#369 Removed: they are fiction and the list is for non-fiction.

[Jessica]

Thank you!

Hi
Could someone remove

It is not on the static list from the College board

Done

[Amber]

Thanks!

Hi!

I have a list I've created and I need to remove some books that don't fit the description. When I go to edit it, there's a message that I have librarian status, but I don't see the remove books link.

I'm kinda confused, so any answers would be much appreciated!

So what I see when I edit a list has Title, Description and Tags below that message. And then [Save Changes].

But below that are links for
check for duplicates : https :// www.goodreads.com / list / check_for_duplicates / .
remove particular books : https :// www.goodreads.com / list / edit_list_books / .

[Ayshe]

Yes, probably the text is the same regardless of whether you're librarian or non-librarian list's creator.

Thanks to both of you. I think Mitchell is right, because I see the check for duplicates, but not the remove books option.

[Toxik]

Can someone remove The Christmas Wager from MM Barebacking? Thanks!

[Ayshe]

Can you elaborate on how do you know it does not fit the list's description?

Deleting books that aren't miscategorized can "result in a loss of librarian privileges, and possible deletion of account".

Could someone please remove Cormac McCarthy's The Road from my list of The 100 Essential Novels (from the Pop Chart Lab poster)?

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

Someone correctly commented under the list that The Road isn't actually on the poster. *On* The Road is included, and Cormac McCarthy is included too with Blood Meridian, but The Road isn't one of the 100 on that poster.

Thanks!

I removed it. You can consider asking to have it made static, like the ones here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Angie]

Could you please remove "Devil's Bride and a Rake's Vow" currently book # 169 from 2013 New Cozy Mystery New Releases -

These are definitely not cozy mysteries.

Thanks

Umm... Who ever said that you can't create a personal list? You can't really enforce it - but you can create them. And deleting them because someone said something in a mailing list? You got to be kidding.

Lists are a community resource and do not belong to the individual who creates them which is why lists aren't supposed to be personal ones.

And the below is on the page when you are creating a list.

"Lists are public and everyone can vote on them, so don't create "Michael's Favorite Robot Books"—instead create "Best Robot Books" and seed it with your favorite books about robots."

I'm quite familiar with that description - that's not the same as just out and out DELETING an existing list because you don't like what it says - and what it says is that it was created as a personal list.

[Melanie]

Personal lists aren't allowed which is why they're deleted when found or when feasible edited to be not personal. In this case, the list was someone's wishlist which is why it couldn't be edited to be not personal and was deleted.

[Bhagirath]

Please delete Yaraana: Gay Writing from South Asia by Hoshang Merchant from list I created https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...
The book has been added twice

[Ayshe]

#389: Done: I combined the editions and checked for duplicates on the list.

Could someone help me with a book that doesn't fit on my listopia list?

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

Captive Angel by Virginia Aird was added, and I finally got around to reading it... there is a bit of suspense, but there are no emotional scenes like what I have listed in my description. Since it falls 12th on a list of 37 (right now) - it feels alot like false advertising -- I myself have stopped using certain lists after it has steered me wrong. Thank you!!!

[Sandra]

#392 someone got this one.

Hi Goodreads,

Could you please delete the following 12 books from the list Amazon's 100 Best Science Fiction & Fantasy Books?
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

They're not on the original list, found here at Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/100-Science-Fi...

Divergent
Insurgent
Catching Fire
Mockingjay
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone x2*

*The original list contains HP and the Sorcerer's Stone. The Goodreads list contains HP and the Sorcerer's Stone and TWO versions of HP and the Philosopher's Stone (currently at #27 and #74 on the list) even though all three are the same book!

It may be driving me slightly mad.

Thanks,
Octavia.

[Krazykiwi]

Somebody did #394.

[Angie]

Please remove "The Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner" - /www.goodreads.com/book/show/233436.Th... - #84 on the list titled "Single Short story" - https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2... - as it is a compilation of short stories not just 1 story as the list would like.

That was a long sentence!! Thanks for your help.

#396 removed it

Hi, could someone remove 'Golden Boy' #12 on the 'Book Covers with Partially Obscured Faces (by marginalised authors)' list? https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

The author isn't a marginalised author.

Many thanks!

according to that book he probably should listed with complete second name https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

[Angie]

Good morning,

Can these 2 books be combined into 1? I think they are the same.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

One is listed under the author's real name and 1 under his pen name.

Thanks for looking at it.

[☕ Lachgas ♿]

#400 combined them and merged the empty duplicate - but is that a real separate published story? or is it only available in several collections?
(and that's not a thread for that sort of question as you can read even out of the subject)

edit: merged it (and several other added short stories) into one of the collections they are in - couldn't find any evidence these were published on their own so they shouldn't be in the database

Hi everyone,

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...?

Cara's Twelve
Hereditary
Paper Princess
Broken Prince
Twisted Palace
Falling for Sakura: A Secret Kiss ( author confirmed ending was monogamous or MF)
Nero

None of these romances have polyandrous endings ( or happy afters) which is the main criteria for this listopia.

Other readers, authors or my own reading has confirmed these books do not fit.

Thanks for your help! I've been trying to figure out how to do this for ages. Even after joining this group , I haven't been able to access the remove books option even though I'm the list creator. Sorry that the list to remove is a bit long.
