I have contacted Goodreads Support Bette - looking at his profile, it's all spam and we aren't the only ones to cop it! Hopefully they will get rid of him soon... thanks! (Though I woke up to it myself!)

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) @Brenda Yes, his profile did look suss, didn't it? I forgot you couldn't delete a GR member!

At least he's not a member of our group! But he took his time searching for things to spam! Weirdo!

Have you got a link please Rita? All the comments are gone from the link above, that's why I thought he was gone...

Sienna | 19 comments Yeah, what's his name?

message 1318: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79994 comments Mod
OK I found him - you're right, he's still here, but all the comments are gone from our April 2014 challenge that he spammed overnight... https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4...

Perhaps GR just deleted them??

For members who were affected by the spammer, here is Goodreads pretty fast response:

Excellent news:)

message 1332: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 3569 comments Just a quick question to ask whether anyone knows whether Katherine Howell's Detective Ella Marconi series were written out of order?

I was looking at the different books on the series page - https://www.goodreads.com/series/5935... - and it looks like book 6 (Web of Deceit) was first published before book 2. That seems a bit strange, and I just wondered whether it was true or a typo?


message 1333: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79994 comments Mod
That would be wrong I suspect Kathryn...I'll check it out for you:)

Hi Bette, I'm afraid that is a job for the Librarian group... they have to merge the authors:) Sorry! https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/... Just find a thread similar or start a new one...
