I just noticed a Facebook link under Group Info, but the link got cut off after the /A so went to someone else's profile.

Can you fix it?

Hello Patty,

I do have to have a little laugh.

That link is to FB "A Good Thriller" page, which promotes our group. (my group)

Which change shortly.

Thanks

All done Patty

Hi Sean, I'm working with Joseph Finder (The Oligarch's Daughter, Nick Heller series) on backlist visibility. I see A Good Thriller features monthly author Q&As... would you be open to considering Finder for a future slot? He's done Q&As with Reese's Book Club, ITW, etc. Happy to coordinate timing or send reading guides. Best, Elina Vaysbeyn

Yes have sent a message in the introduction page.

See got more information.

Thanks, and welcome

I'm so glad you have added Carolyn and Pam as moderators, I know Carolyn well!! I've been a member since 2016 but haven't been as engaged as I should be.

One of my pet peeves is that you don't archive or delete old comments and reviews - some going back to 2014, so I always have to wade through a lot of reviews to get to the current page. Just mentioning that it could perhaps be cleaned up a bit??

Hi Dorie - good to see you here! Quite a lot has already been tidied up on the site and archived, but there are some longer ones that need to be cleaned up (such as Netgalley reviews). It‘s a work in progress - but always good to get feedback from members about what is clunky/ out of date and what needs a clean up.

Thanks for the feedback.

Something we are working on behind the scenes.

thank you Carolyn and Sean looking forward to being more active in the group. Thanks for all of your hard work :)

Thanks Dorie

Thanks Dorie - and we're always happy to receive further feedback on what members like/ don't like or want more off on the site :)

For the BOTM for October.
Outside Eden’s Gate A Shadow Falls
The thread set up for the Q&A seems to be locked ?
The book is 99 cents May 19 - 26

It will be locked to nearer the time/date.

I will see if Pam can unlock or post this for you correctly.

Thank you

I have posted the reduced pricing comment in the thread. It is also in the BOTM offers thread.

Thanks Pam

Thanks Pam and Sean.

You're welcome.

Question -- would it be possible to have a thread with ARC reviews? I'm always looking for recommendations from my Goodreads friends for ARCs. Just wondering, thanks

Hi Dorie - we have a thread for Netgalley reviews. We could widen this to Netgalley and ARCs in general if that would work. (The thread is quite long so we will start a new one for 2027.)
Okay with you Sean and Pam?

Yes, this has been on my mind lately, to enhance this topic.

That sounds good, Carolyn.

Dorie,

Carolyn has revised the Share your NetGalley Reviews Here thread to include all ARCs. It can be found here. As Carolyn stated earlier, we will start a fresh thread for 2027 as this one is getting rather long.

I cross posted this issue on Contact Sean thread, so this is a repeat of an issue I am facing:

I need help sorting out an issue with suspicious users.
Please see my book reviews for Outside Eden's Gate a Shadow Falls. Starting with a user named Xetaye left 5 star review last week and contacted me via my website. They started a discussion on Goodreads... which after I answered the questions I realized all the users were new. They then demanded payment, and sent a payment link which was suspicious. (someone's personal account). This morning after I didn't pay (I had never agreed to pay anything), three - 1 star reviews appeared on my book. all say "Author is a Scammer"
I reported the individual users for harassment. I was unable to get to the old discussion to report the users in the discussion, but the link is there in the post mentioned below for admins to track them down. The timing couldn't be worse for this as I am running a 99 cent promo this week and the 1 star fake reviews need to be removed asap please.

Please refer to my post here for more info:

Adam,

You will see many authors are getting these, check our introduction page, a few authors believe we contacted them we did not.

They are scammers, they are trying to get money out of you.

Most authors have ignored them.

Pam or Sean, I just want to make sure I get this right. If I want to start a discussion around my book, I go to the Author Spotlight and Bio section. Then I start a new topic, and the title needs to be '(Q&A)'. Then, in the body of the topic, there should be a brief introduction and the question I want to pose to readers for discussion. Hopefully, people will then discover the discussion thread and contribute. I want to make sure I have this process right before I mess up. Thanks, Lee

Yes in the right place, add Q and A if you are happy with members asking you questions.

Pam with also reply , my expert on the BOTM and Authors.

Thank you for checking up, we know mistakes can happen, and will move to correct place if needed.

Lee, That is right. In the Author Spotlight and Bio section start a new topic with your Name and the book title followed by (Q&A). You can pose any questions in your topic and members can ask you questions. Additionally, if you are interested in your thriller being a BOTM, let us know there and we'll work to get you scheduled.

Pam, I would like to be a BOTM. Especially in 2026, which is the America 250 birthday celebration. My book is about Benjamin Franklin coming back to the 21st Century to save the world from energy monopolies that threaten a new, free energy source. Ben is the perfect person to join this fight, and my book brings his science, wisdom, and wit to readers. I write about how Ben views this new 'Republic' he helped create in 1776.

I tried to look for instructions on applying for BOTM. If there is a post you can give me a link to, that would be great, and I will follow the process.

Thanks,

Adam, I've flagged the one star reviewers with Goodreads asking for them to be removed, but I can't guarantee what they'll do.
