Submission declined on 30 April 2025 by CoconutOctopus (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of books). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by CoconutOctopus 11 days ago.

• Comment: You have just been told that Goodreads is NOT a reliable source, so adding it is pointless. Theroadislong (talk) 20:39, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: We base articles on what reliable, independent sources say. Her own book is primary source, Theroadislong (talk) 19:55, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: Goodreads is not a reliable source (see user-generated). User reviews can't be used. S0091 (talk) 19:50, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
