Happy New Year... Hope 2018 is full of good reading
Hey Buggy, can there be a "spamming" provision where when it's clear that a book is being spammed to the list, it can be removed? The top five last year were all spam!Thank you for doing this again, and happy new year!
Thanks for this list Buggy, I will enjoy adding my 2018 reads to it.
Thanks again for the list and I agree with Megan. I'd love to see a spamming stipulation, too. It kind of took some of the fun out of it last year, so I'm hoping for more honest votes this year.Once again, though, thank you for putting this together. Can't wait to see what other people are reading!
Thanks Buggy, once again, you are are star!

Hey Megan . I agree with you 100 percent and honestly was unsure of the validity of the top 5 reads last year. The problem is I'm unsure of how to prove that books are spam. If you have an answer lets figure this out
I think it would be pretty obvious if the book gets 100+ votes in a couple of days, and when (most of) those voters haven't voted for a single other book on the list. The Aleron Kong book from last year is a prime example of that. The more zealous of us can check the read date for some of them - a lot of people mark books as read in the previous year or not read at all. They get brazen!If we can make a pretty convincing argument based on that info, I think it would be totally fine to remove a book. Anyone else have ideas?

Rana wrote: "I like the wording in the description of this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1..."Why, gee, thanks :D
And as long as it isn't exactly the same (ie, mentioning the exact criteria of my list LOL), you are most welcome to :D

And all of the people who rated it (if you mean the book that is now number ten) have no friends so possibly sock puppets. Perhaps criteria for determining and deleting spam could be a consensus of some kind?

Is anyone else impressed that the top 100 is much less super-spammy than last year's?! Has someone been removing obvious spam books? Or have we finally gotten through to people with our whining? lol
Megan wrote: "Is anyone else impressed that the top 100 is much less super-spammy than last year's?! Has someone been removing obvious spam books? Or have we finally gotten through to people with our whining? lol"I was thinking the same thing as I posted the list earlier
Megan wrote: "Is anyone else impressed that the top 100 is much less super-spammy than last year's?! Has someone been removing obvious spam books? Or have we finally gotten through to people with our whining? lol"I'm just glad this year isn't as clogged with spam as last year.
There do seem to be a lot fewer people contributing to the list this year. That is likely a factor.

Aaan spam appeared - "NICU II and Victoria's Incestuous Romance" all of its voters voted only for this one book. Should I remove it?
@LoreleyWell, my blessing you've got, as I hate spammers. I don't know how others feel about this though.
I'll still wait for the list creator's permission but my hands are itching :)
Loreley wrote: "... but my hands are itching :)"I can imagine ;-)
Loreley wrote: "I'll still wait for the list creator's permission but my hands are itching :)"Gah!!!!!!!!!! I hate the spammy votes. I agree that waiting for the list creator's permission is appropriate, but is there an allowance for if the creator doesn't respond after a certain amount of time? This is why I'd love to see a spam caveat in the description.
Loreley wrote: "Aaan spam appeared - "NICU II and Victoria's Incestuous Romance" all of its voters voted only for this one book. Should I remove it?"It definitely looks like spam to me, too. 231 ratings total and 30 of them are here? Seems suspect, especially since so many of the voters are on accounts that were just opened and the other lists that they voted on all relate to this book...
found another one - Deadly Pretty Strangers
Loreley wrote: "found another one - Deadly Pretty Strangers"Yep, that's the one we were talking about back in February. Luckily it got kicked down below top 10, but I'd still like to see that one gone.
OK, I'm deleting both of them. If someone legit read it, sorry and they are welcome to vote for it again
Loreley wrote: "...and they are welcome to vote for it again "Auw... Don't say that! :-) Spammers also think they are legit...

You were right, LOL. NICU II and Victoria's Incestuous Romance is already back on the list (at #25), along with that author's other books.
Almost all of the voters joined in June 2018 :)) and the ones that didn't, haven't added the book as read in 2018. I have time, I'll continue deleting it as long as I see at least one fake vote

Not all heroes wear capes!

#66- Don't Sleep On It. Definitely spam.

#34 A Conceptual Circus - looks spammy, and it's the same author of the NICU II book which deleted multiple times. These people are persistent!
Conceptual Circus is back at # 51 and NICU II is at # 90.
