Hi. Sorry to tell you that Goodreads is deleting a load of reviews and stories at the moment...no idea why unless their website is overrun and they have no spare capacity. I've had reviews disappear, ratings disappear or both and you can't get them to reply to you...lots of people have been complaining. I've had someone on here copy my reviews and doctor them as their own, but I'm still waiting for a reply to both of my messages to Goodreads staff, one from last year and another from January, 😒 Hope you get your entries back...I reviewed and rated both of them. Maybe if a lot of authors complain, something might be done?? 💕
So sorry this has happened to you too. GR has a policy and librarians (I'm not one of them) have to follow it. The short stories and novellas can be readded but the reviews are gone forever sadly. And there is no guarantee that they won't be deleted next week.
Here is the manual if you (or anyone) is interested: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
Oh no, it breaks my heart to hear that it broke yours. I'm having a hard time reading e-books, but I will def read them and leave a comment. So weird that they got deleted? I mean, many books here are in digital form only and you are an established author... so. From what I understand in the link (thanks @Gabi) your short stories shouldn't fit the cleansing criteria, so... Fingers crossed they won't get deleted again.
