Hello, This app is basically a way for one to keep track of one's book collection and to discover new books. Generally speaking, Good Reads is not a book buying service.

I followed the procedure you described in going to the My Books tab of the app. I am however happy to say that the issue appears to be back to normal. I went to the GoodReads app several times yesterday and the item counts were successfully showing the right updated numbers. I finished a couple of books yesterday and the new counts were showing what they should have been showing. So, my annoying issue with the item counts appears to be resolved. Perhaps it was something on the GoodReads end, or it just took longer than normal for things to update. Whatever the case, all is good now. Good to know that GoodReads is responsive to accessibility issues if I need to contact them in the future. Wayne On 2/24/18, M.
