Scammers are impersonating Goodreads groups, w/ writers invited to "reading challenges" or group discussions--for a fee. This "12-month residency" is most elaborate I've seen. See tiny text I've underlined in red. Yes, this is yet another iteration of the AI-generated scams driving us all nuts

OFFICIAL SELECTIONS
OVERVIEW
12-Month Managed Reader Experience
Goodreads Community: The book you like
most
Lead Moderator: Tom
📍 TOP 100 Goodreads Group 👥 51,155+ Active Members 📚 Vision & Story Project Hub
What Is "The book you like most" Community?
We are a global Goodreads community of over 51,000+ active members. Originally established as a dedicated hub for
the "Vision and Story" project and centered around motivational and self-help literature (such as Between Every
Silence), our platform has evolved into a premier destination for deep reader engagement, book recommendations,
and active reading challenges. Our members join with high buying intent—they are avid readers, book club hosts, and
collectors seeking their next great read.
HOW OUR 12-MONTH MANAGED RESIDENCY WORKS
1 Dedicated Feature Thread
Your title receives its own permanent thread on our general
board for reviews, Q&As, and discussions, driving ongoing
views long after creation.
2 Moderator Endorsement
Introduced with authority by group leadership, carrying
trusted weight across our 51,000+ members who recognize
our curation.
3 Thematic Shelf Alignment
Positioned naturally within key ongoing themes:
motivational/self-help, thrillers, general literature, and
annual reading challenges.
4 Active Community Prompts
Structured reading prompts encourage deep engagement,
key takeaways, and member shares across external book
clubs.
5 Permanent Bookshelf Indexing
Cataloged directly into our group bookshelf and discussion
archives, securing organic backlist discovery and sales for
years.
6 Peer-to-Peer Recommendations
Organic word-of-mouth momentum as members
recommend your title inside high-traffic daily discussions
and rating threads.
Why This Matters for Your Book: Standard promotions disappear in hours. Our residency embeds your work
directly into an active, living reader ecosystem. You aren't interrupting readers—you are contributing to what 51,000+
active book buyers are already searching for, genera…
