Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

John Quante. New user just this month. He's read 11 books and left Goodreads reviews for all of them in 6 days??? (Including mine: The Sum of All Our Anger: Civil War 2.0.)

He IM'd me via Facebook. I'm not sure if he's starting the first round of a scam attempt or if this is legit. Seems suspicious. Not sure what to do?

Oddly, there are two users named John Quante. One profile has no photo. I was contacted by the one who has a picture in their Goodreads profile.

If you have a problem with another user contact support.

Users can review as many books as they like.

Agreed. But 11 books in five days? Does that seem plausible?

You are assuming he just read them all. He could be writing reviews of books he read in the past.

Fair enough!

When I first joined GoodReads, it asked me if I wanted to have all of the books I had purchased on Amazon loaded to my profile. I said sure. And they did... 15 years worth! I had several hundred. The first few days, I rated a bunch of books that I had read years earlier.

Please remove the user name. This is considered calling out & not allowed in this group. & you say yourself that there is more than one person with this name on Gr.
