So today I keep seeing someone's same reviews over and over in my updates feed, though nothing seems to change about them. (No edits?) They're always near the top, then repeated as I scroll down. Did GR change something with the feed, or am I losing it or what? ;-)

Same here! It's especially annoying because some people's reviews never even appear in my feed, yet other's reviews repeat 3 or 4 times.
I think some reviewers "bump" their reviews so they'll be seen more often.

I sure hope this post doesn't apply to me! I've been posting many reviews to GR of books I've read, enjoyed, and reviewed. I recently posted a bunch from Shirley Rousseau Murphy's Joe Grey series. The book jackets are very similar in these audio editions with the same image of a cat and different colored backgrounds in 20+ books. And the titles are all so similar that I wouldn't be surprised if they looked all the same ... but they're not. Mrs. Murphy's books do follow the same ensemble cast in her Joe Grey series, focusing on different main characters or places in each series entry. Hope I'm not your culprit! If I am, are there guidelines somewhere on GR that explains an appropriate amount of reviews to post? I guess I figured since this site focuses so much on the books that there would be no limit.

The more the better! This is a case of someone bumping (or reposting) a review for the same book numerous times so more people see it (like six times in one day). Also, there seems to be an update feed glitch too.
