Incorrect! NoWhere Girl by Susan Strecker WAS published March 1, 2016 by St. Martin's Press/Thomas Dunne Books. Here is the Amazon Link: bit.ly/NoWhereGirlamazon
I read the advanced reading copy before it came out, so I know for a fact it was published in 2016.
Why are you saying it was published in 2015? Yes there was another book by this name and another author in 2015 (which I also read), but not this one.
You guys need to be more careful before deleting books from our list. I will be putting this book back on my top list for 2016. Please DO NOT REMOVE. I will be contacting the publisher and the author about this.
Serena wrote: "A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles is on the list twice."Good eyes, Serena. Thanks. The system found and removed 3 duplicates.
Also, I removed Collected Stories: EL Doctorow, originally projected as a 2016 publication, because its pub date has been moved to 2017.

When you go to the link posted by Judy, when the new page comes up, click on the new link that says "All Editions". The next page shows that there was, in fact, an edition posted in 2015. It may be that one edition was posted in UK and another in the USA or vice-versa; I don't pretend to know all the ins and outs of the publishing world, but often, for some reason the first pub date given seems to sort of fizzle, and then it's published again and there's a lot more buzz, more ratings, etc.
On a list like this one, the correct date to use is the original publication date, even if it has 0 ratings and 0 reviews. It's frustrating because I have read the occasional DRC only to discover that although my edition isn't yet out for sale, it's been published somewhere a previous year and is no longer considered new.
If you contacted the author, hopefully she already told you this, but in case it is still a bone of contention, here you go, Judy. Jennifer was correct in removing the title. Still, if I had a new book out, I'd love to have a reader like you come out swinging in my defense, or at least in defense of my book.
