      I have no idea why all of these ratings are so negative. I've ordered over forty books and have never had any issues. My last order I saved $46. Maybe people only come here when they have issues? Thus these are heavily skewed.

      Goodreads must be put in check. Any authors whose books are in their database have NO WAY of removing their titles to which they retain all rights. It makes no difference to Goodreads whether a book title is out of print or an old edition or a book(s) an author wants removed for whatever reason. All they do is parrot one of a handful of 'strict policy' rules for security reasons or because they want an author's full body of work represented. Well, as an author, I believe my rights as owner and creator of my work must take precedent over a company's policies whose purpose is to catalog and share such work for social purposes. Goodreads only cares about compiling as many titles as possible with any means to share the information as possible. The very authors who make such a site possible have no say in anything and this must stop.

      Goodreads I'm reaching out to you again about ******************* and his continued harassment. He made a new account to one star rate bomb my books and Kindle ***** stories. Because he is in *********, he has no access to my Kindle ***** stories, they are only in the US. One book isn't even out, and I didn't send out ARC copies. I've sent proof multiple times of what he is doing, and still nothing. If you won't delete the one stars and block him from doing this, I request all of my books be removed from Goodreads permanently, and all future books not be posted to your site. You are not protecting authors from malicious people like you swear you do. Your policy states you don't put up with this, but here we are with him still harassing me and you allowing it.

      Goodreads has allowed people to leave retaliation ratings of one star all on the same day of July 17, 2023 against my book. They also took my comments to a reviewer down. Luckily, I screenshot all my comments and can prove I was very kind and conversational, because they left up everyone else's comments that came after mine, and many of these comments call me passive aggressive, using my kid as a therapist and other cyberbullying themes that are untrue. Free speech is real but they took mine down and left up the others to have it one sided. These reviews are under my book Sleeping *******. I write under a pen name.

      Apparently Goodreads feels the own and have power over copyrighted books. I know several authors who have requested their books be removed for various reasons but they will not do as the authors wish. The website is a disgrace to the publishing world.

      Somehow my copyrighted book ended up on this site by someone posing as me. I emailed the company as to what happened. The response was absolutely no regard for this. Company does not care about intellectual property of fake accounts. Poor site.
