Expected Behaviour
I just wanted to let you know I'm feeling a bit peeved with Goodreads right now because they haven't updated the list of people who have shown an interest in reading my book since May 20th, when only 19 people had marked it as "want to read". That figure is now 109 people. On top of that, 140 people* have "added it to a shelf", and NONE of those people are showing up at all! After a full SIX WEEKS of complaining in every way that's possible on here I finally got a reply today, 17th July. I was told that after a certain number of people show on the list it no longer gets updated. This, apparently, is "expected behaviour". It doesn't look that way to me when I look at other author's pages, so now I've finally got somebody's attention I intend to pursue this matter further. As if this isn't hard enough?! The last thing I want is it looking as if nobody has shown any interest in my book for two solid months. I am not happy about this. Can you tell?
*Update, 10th September 2021: On my Seller Dashboard, the latter is now showing as 100 times added to a shelf due to some system glitch I don't think is ever going to right itself, but added by 140 people, which is impossible!
I've pretty much given up on getting any of this fixed now. Life's too short. I will just keep updating the figures on this blog post.
