Librarians,

Please remove the book Decryption Gambit: Mineral of Silence
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

… from this list:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...

It was just published in Nov 2025, has 100 ratings, but 187 votes all by accounts with no books or friends. These are clearly spam accounts. This book and its Spanish version both spammed my lists. This is not my list but is clearly spam. More typical is 1 list vote for 1000 ratings, as is the #2 book on the list with over 100,000 ratings. Please delete this book from the list.

Could you kindly remove the following books from the list https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2... ?


1) The Foundlings and the Fisherman from Tumby
by Phillip Leighton-Daly
2) Miracle of the Rising Sun: A Novel
by Joseph Sciuto

Both are written by men, and the list is for books written by women.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Please remove my book Contradiction of Thoughts from the Historical Fiction List. It is a nonfiction true story.
Thanks,

Factual fit--this list is comprised of books mentioned in a Catholic podcast, and these books were not mentioned in said podcast. Some espouse anti-Catholic teachings, some were added by bots.

Please remove the book:

ABRACADBRA by Terry Bean

from the
2025 ALA Youth Media ALA Awards. It won nothing.

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...

Is it possible to make that list static as well? All of the winners have been added, at now it is a matter of voting for favorites.

The same applies to 2026 Youth Media ALA Awards - can it be made static?
