Last year's top reads were Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Hate U Give, Before We Were Yours, Little Fires Everywhere, and The Woman in the Window.

Bettie, Whoops. I think I forgot to keep adding to 2018, and a long time ago.

I'll try to do this for 2019. I think it's that I'm so much older than 35 I'm not sure I'm a good fit for these lists.

Hmmmm...just a quibble Susanna - if you're going to have an 'over 50' list, why not make this 'over 30' or '30-50'? I always thought '35' was an odd number to start with but I always thought 'everyone over the age of 35, ok, that means everyone over the age of 35'. Is this going to split the numbers or are those that are over 50 also going to add books to this over 35 list too?

I must say I quite like the 'over 35' list... (even thought there is now an 'over 50' list as well). As far as I'm concerned, there is no need to change the 'over 35' list, but that's just my personal opinion.

Yes I think they have. I remember you re-starting this one for us a few years ago. I forget why their particular criteria was over 35...it will just be interesting to see if those over 50 favour one or the other. I'm over 35 but not yet there in the over 50 bracket, so no biggie for me. I'm just interested in stats hehe!

I don't get a notification (except from other voters who notice it, like Pat did), but it's more common than you might think on Listopias, and the signs just jump out at you at a certain point.

6,000 ratings is high for a spam book, but #1 is looking very suspicious. Just look at the voters: 13 "1 of 1" votes (this in June), and 1 actual regular voter on this list. (Not removing because of that one real vote.)

I hate fanboy spamming.

Yeah, 13 "1 of 1" votes, and 1 legitimate vote ("31 of 49" I think). Totally non-suspicious in June. Also most of the 13 voted this book, and only this book, onto a succession of lists. Totally kosher.

Maybe.....it's an idea for the creator of a list to remove the book and contact the legitimate voter(s) to let her/him know the book has been removed and why? Provided the creator is a librarian of course. Because there must be something we can do about spamming lists...

Have you contacted the author about it? I've done that before. They were horrified that people were doing it. Not always the case tho - some authors are just so shit obviously if they have to have spamming teams...
