Sent the request to GoodReads for my data, confirmed, and got the message that it will take A MONTH OR MORE TO SEND.

I cannot think of a single good reason that this should take a month, but I can think of a lot of bad reasons.

@jcct @ramblingreaders you don’t have to do this to get your activity data for import, just export it from My Account

That’s what I thought I did from the link in the screenshot (which took some searching to find). I first had to confirm in an email, and it tells me it will take >1 month to send it to me. Let me know if there is a faster way.

Probably why they imposed a month long wait for data: Too many people wanted to leave.
