Yep, I found last year that I had to put something, anything, on the "over 35s" list for 2019, so I just put something from my currently reading. (Learned the hard way after the list disappeared.)

Just added the first one I will finish in 2020. I doubt it will stay in my top 5 as the year progresses (on pg 66, not great so far :-( ). Happy New Year to you :D

The idea is to finish a book before you add it... You said 'will finish', so I'm assuming you haven't finished it so far? (You also mentioned you were on page 66)

I see you've removed it. In my yearly list I allow people to add the first book that they will definitely finish in the year so that they can easily bookmark the list. My apologies for the assumption that others allow it.

@Penny
Apologies accepted 🙂

To 'bookmark' the list, no book has to be added, as far as I know (I've bookmarked many other websites, and none where I added something)

I only do it if I'm starting the list, so it actually sticks. (There's a bot to remove empty lists.)

I think there is a slight confusion over the word 'bookmark'... I took it to mean 'bookmark' as you added it to your webbrowser, a 'favourite', as it is also called in certain webbrowsers.

Finding Identity doesn't have a large group promoting it (yet) but one of the people voting claims to have been born in different decades and read it in different years in order to put it on multiple lists. So I'd say that one's definitely spam.

Damn it, Syrian Brides spam is in the number one spot, and the spammers also put fake votes for other books that they obviously haven't read, thus skewing the whole list.

Yes it is - I have even had two nasty comments from one of her followers because I have added her books to lists that refer to spamming and when I added some books to a list full of her followers just to see what would happen.

I think a fundamental lack of understanding how Listopias, and the people who vote on them, work plays a large part of it. Add in authors desperate to get their books "noticed" and/or devoted fangirls, and you have a problem.

That makes sense. It just spoils it when the same books appear on the top 1,2 or now 3 of so many lists and the people voting for them are I suspect made up/and or fake profiles.
