Well shoot, they all had 0 likes (but 1) last I looked. Should I ask Nadine to unlike them? I'm unclear how the GR community understands the quote section, just saw random note where someone frowned on an author listing a quote. That means likely others frown on it too. I wasn't trying to do something off, just thought GR put it on my dashboard page b/c they wanted me to fill something in. Not the last time I'll be confused, I'm sure. LOLBottom line: I know Nadine who liked them. Should I ask her to unlike so they can be removed?
Mod
Why would you want to discourage a fan from liking your quotes, regardless of whether you know them?
Nadine would have understood if I explained that I apparently committed some sort of faux pas. :)Perhaps those who were remarking that they thought it "tacky" were in the minority. I'm just trying to do things as they're intended on GR, having only just stepped out with my first book. I certainly don't want to irk readers by simply misunderstanding how things work. Hope that makes sense. :)
Mod
I understand. But there is certainly no general consensus that authors adding a handful of quotes is tacky. (There are authors who have added literally 100s, and I wonder if the comment you saw referred to that.)

Mod
That 9000 is mostly added by the author personally.

Can someone delete all my quotes on my book (I know if it's liked you can't I think). I'm so new to all this, & I thought GR was wanting me to put something there when it was on my dashboard. Now I see that that's actually not for me. Please delete them. Sorry.
