Callie James (calliejames) | 5 comments I believe the children's books being attached to my profile are bogus books, and someone at Goodreads keeps attaching them. I'd like to know how this is happening and why.

Please remove this book below from my Goodreads page. If it is impossible to keep it removed, it should be deleted from your database, as this person and whoever is attaching it to my profile is committing fraud. I cannot find this book anywhere else online to buy, so I believe it's not a real book.

Please remove and develop a way for authors to remove books not theirs by themselves, or at the very least, an easier way than trying to find this thread and post a request yet again.

Tami (tamicarvallo) | 6990 comments Hello, there's no malicious intent involved in this situation. Your profile has been set as the default for the name Callie James, causing all bot imports to land on your profile. It's important to note that no human is manually attaching the books to your profile; it's an automatic import by an Amazon bot.

To resolve this issue, reach out to support and request to be removed from the default profile. This is necessary because books by other authors are being incorrectly assigned to you due to the current setup. Please explain the situation and ask for assistance in adjusting your profile.

It's worth mentioning that this process involves editing your profile, which librarians can't do.
