January Top Ten
*1/29/2020 09:36
I will report what the list populates, however I'm quite sure there are some spam picks in the top ten right now. Hopefully the spammers will get tired soon and true results will come out in the following months.
June Top Ten
*6/29/20 10:32 EDT
*6/30/20 10:47 EDT - a last minute change! The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo jumped up the list knocking off Where the Crawdads Sing
July Top Ten
*7/29/20 16:49 EDT - Lots of shake up this month
*7/30/20 10:19 EDT - A last minute change for the number 10 spot.
*7/31/20 10:17 EDT - Normal People is still climbing.
October Top Ten
*10/29/2020 10:11EDT
I used alternate covers this month in celebration of Halloween. :-)
Good grief, the spammers don't even go a day without spamming. There are several titles by L.E. Parker that have been voted onto this and a million other lists.

If you look at who has voted for these, they've voted for other things and they have decent sized friend/book lists (these are things I look for to determine spammers). I just think we haven't got a lot of people voting on the list so far this year, so those who are voting are having a larger impact. Of course, I could be wrong.

Of course, I could be wrong.."I am suspicious because if looking at the people who voted on the older books in the top ten they are all the same and all private accounts. It does seem like a very dedicated effort and I can't reason why someone would do it but it feels hinkey to me.
The top book seemed a little suspicious to me, but The Witcher just premiered as a series on Netflix, so I think that explains the popularity.
I think about half of the top ten are there because of sock puppet accounts mixed in with actual people. There’s a group of them that are voting for the same dozen or so books, spread across multiple accounts. They’re voting for either classics or books that are generally popular, so it’s harder to discern from those random ones nobody has ever heard of. I’d guess it’s just a really enthusiastic voter who wants some of their faves at the top of the rankings. But Shannon is right, they’ll be less and less consequential as time goes on.
Two books I voted for are in the top 5. WOOHOOI'm so basic and read the same things other people do. But no one would accuse me of spam on "Educated" and "Queen of Nothing"
I'd actually say the top ten look legit. They're pretty popular books or have a lot of ratings.
Martha wrote: "How do you determine if a book is a spam pick?."You have to look at who voted for the book. Often times it's a person with only one vote on the list or if you look at their account there's no activity other than voting for a book on multiple lists.
Shannon wrote: "You have to look at who voted for the book.

Can't discuss the other things I look at as spammers look at this comment too :-)
1- I think I've figured out another way to ID spammers.2- Several books I suspect are spam have suddenly popped into the top 10 in the past 24 hours, conveniently right in time for the end of the month.

Would it make any difference if I asked you, Sara Bee, Jim The Red Crow, Paige, Dom, EmilyReads, and other identities to kindly stop and just let our list be?
Shannon wrote: "Would it make any difference if I asked you, Sara Bee, Jim The Red Crow, Paige, Dom, EmilyReads, and other identities to kindly stop and just let our list be"Is there a way to flag the accounts? If they’re doing this here, they’re probably doing it on other lists too.
Which votes do you guys feel are suspect? I'm not seeing any self-published books or sockpuppet accounts in the top 10.
Elle wrote: "Is there a way to flag the accounts? If they’re doing this here, they’re probably doing it on other lists too. ."I can't see a way to flag them.
The only thing that seems to be flaggable is their profile pic, which only works if it is inappropriate.
You can also flag an entire list, but I wouldn’t want to risk the whole thing being taken down or something. Maybe we could email support? Or is there a way for the creator of a list to block users?
Is anyone having trouble adding books from their own shelves that don't show up on that first page of suggestions? When I search for a book or even switch shelves to look for it, the list just gives me a blank page.

Megan wrote: "Is anyone having trouble adding books from their own shelves that don't show up on that first page of suggestions?

But the book will appear if you copy the ISBN/ASIN and use 'search'. (Haven't tried adding anything from my own shelves since then.)
Booklovinglady wrote: "Yep. Noticed it a few hours ago. Screen went blank. But the book will appear if you copy the ISBN/ASIN and use 'search'.

Although unfortunately it didn't bring up the edition I actually read *eyeroll* At least I was able to add it.
Megan wrote: "That's what I ended up doing. Although unfortunately it didn't bring up the edition I actually read *eyeroll* At least I was able to add it..."Did you copy the ISBN/ASIN of the book on your shelves? I did, and for me it worked just fine.
Booklovinglady wrote: "Did you copy the ISBN/ASIN of the book on your shelves? I did, and for me it worked just fine."Yep, it still brought me to the paperback (I've shelved the hardcover). I guess it doesn't matter as long as I was able to vote for it :)
Megan wrote: "Yep, it still brought me to the paperback (I've shelved the hardcover). I guess it doesn't matter as long as I was able to vote for it :)..."Odd. It worked fine for me. Do the paperback and the hardback have the same ISBN/ASIN on Goodreads maybe?

Shannon wrote: "Have you cleared your cashe and restarted your browser? Also I'm pretty sure all editions are combin..."That might have done it, I was able to search this time. It did end up adding the edition I actually read, even though it said I hadn't read it when I added it :P Ahh, internet...
