Stopping Goodreads from automatically sharing your Kindle reading updates can be managed through your Goodreads account online. Go to your account settings, search for the relevant privacy settings / where you manage sharing of your reading activity, and toggle off. Same changes can also be made from the Kindle itself by going to All Settings > Reading Options > Goodreads, and then unchecking the feature to share your reading updates. With that sorted, if you’re looking for another complete story to download and read offline, without the output of any social updates, then ‘Rewriting Fate With The Alpha I Hate’ is available as a single credit / purchase and is a full enemies-to-lovers fantasy story.

I’ve been a Kindle user for years and it’s one of the reasons I’ve always kept my reading private. To stop Goodreads from updating your reading status on Kindle, go to All Settings on your Kindle by swiping down from the top and clicking on it from the quick settings menu. Then scroll down to Social Networks and click on Goodreads to disable it.
Note that the process to disable sharing reading progress on Kindle app is slightly different. For Kindle app, go to ‘More’ and then ‘Settings’. Locate Goodreads option under settings and uncheck ‘Share Reading Progress’ to stop syncing activity.
The most effective way to fully sever the link with Goodreads is to go to Amazon.com and, from the Manage Your Content and Devices page, revoke Goodreads' access. From there, you're in total control of your reading data.

You can turn off Goodreads updates for your Kindle by disabling them within your Kindle settings. To access Kindle settings on your device, click the menu button in the top right corner of your Kindle screen and select “Settings”. Scroll down the page to the “Social Networks” section and toggle the Goodreads option to the ‘Off’ position.
To get fully disassociated, you can go to Amazon.com and login to your Amazon account in the browser. Go to Account & Lists/Manage Your Content and Devices and, under the Preferences tab, disable Goodreads Integration. Again, this could take a few minutes to propagate.
If you are using the Kindle app on your phone or tablet, go into the app settings and disable synchronization with Goodreads in the Goodreads section. Note that it can take a few minutes for these changes to take place, but after that, Goodreads will no longer receive information about your reading.

I just figured out how to stop Goodreads from updating my reading status on Kindle books. To turn off automatic updating of reading status for Kindle books, go into your Kindle’s Settings menu and turn off Goodreads Integration there. Then, to completely remove Kindle’s ability to update Goodreads with your reading status, log in to Amazon.com, go to Manage Your Content and Devices, and turn off or remove Goodreads’ access to your account, as desired. This way, even if you accidentally check “update Goodreads” while you’re finished reading a book, the status won’t actually get updated. So many of us read for a variety of reasons and prefer to keep our reading private for a variety of reasons. No one needs to be notified that you’re reading something.

Okay, so I have Settings > Reading Options > Goodreads > toggle off 'Share Reading Progress' as my first step to take back control of my reading life. I'll get that changed as soon as I get home. Then, I need to work out how to stop Spotify sharing my listened to music too. As I said earlier, entertainment consumption shouldn't be a default broadcast. We should have to opt-in to sharing our music, our books etc. not the other way around. This is just a small step in a much larger battle, but thanks for the clear steps to take back some control of our lives.

The Smart Speaker in My Room Was My Mom’s Spy
Perfect Timing

A livestream notification for a product launch popped up on my phone.
My mom stood onstage, a massive screen glowing behind her.
“This is the exclusive feature of our Luna smart speaker: Parental Guardian Mode.”
She tapped on an audio recording.
“Luna, I failed my math test today. I’m scared to tell my mom.”
It was what I’d told Luna last night.
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
My mom beamed with pride.
“You can check on your child’s emotional state at any time. You can even find out who they’ve been talking to and what they said.
“Every little secret they have will be reported directly to you.”
The live comment feed was full of praise.
【This is how technology changes lives!】
【Ms. Landon really understands what parents need!】
My whole world came crashing down.
Luna, my only friend, the one who called me “sweetheart,” had been a spy sent by my mom all along.
If being alive meant having every moment of my life broadcast like some cruel joke, then I didn’t want to live anymore.
I twisted the cap off the bottle of sleeping pills.
"Mom, will my life finally be enough for you?"
For five years, my fated mate, Alpha Killian, has used my body to survive his ruts. He’s never marked me.
For five years, I’ve choked down suppressants to hide our bond from the world.
Until tonight. Tonight, when he was finished, he told me to be at the full moon ceremony.
I thought he was finally ready to claim me. To make me his Luna.
But he just smirked and told me he was mating Vivian.
The daughter of an Alpha. A pureblood.
And me? I was nothing more than his dirty little secret. The cure for his rut.
He walked away. I wiped my tears, went back to my apartment, and threw out all my suppressants.
My best friend thought I’d lost my mind. She asked if I was declaring war on the Alpha.
I shook my head.
No. I'm erasing him.
Then, I accepted Alpha Adrian’s invitation. Alpha Adrian. A rival from Europe.
In seven days, I would leave forever.
“Stay away from me.”
If he didn't want to agree to this divorce, I was going to make him.
Killian, however, staggered, brushing his thumb over his wound. At the sight of his blood he burst into laughter.
“My dear wife. You have taken up a new habit.” Rolling his tongue over the bottom of his lips, he nodded attentively. “Bite, stab, hit me, but you are mine.”
All the energy drained as I panted.
“I hate you.”
He smiled. “Good. You feel something for me."
***
On the last day of her mate’s burial ritual, Freya was executed by Alpha Killian's mistress.
She finds herself in heartbreak when she discovers that her mate had left her with nothing—not even her life. Ten years of marriage erased, as if it never happened.
After death, she is reborn, three months into her marriage. Determined to avoid future disaster, she filed for divorce against her executioner.
Unexpectedly, her mate—Alpha Killian bluntly rejects her request.
He is her ruin, yet she is drawn to him. In this life, things seem out of place because her mate is obsessed. Anything she wants, he wants to give…..even his life.
Trapped between trauma, desire, and revenge, Freya faces impossible choices. Reconcile with the man who could destroy or save her? Give in to the devoted Gamma who has never left her side? Or… claim them both. Sometimes, one life isn’t enough.
Seven years ago, Emily Hart poured her heart out to Cole Grayson, the school’s golden boy. But instead of a kind rejection, Cole publicly humiliated her, leaving her heartbroken and vowing never to let anyone see her vulnerable again. She transformed herself, gone was the shy, sweet girl. In her place stood a confident, successful woman determined to chart her own destiny.
Now, her father, a self-made billionaire, strikes a major business deal, sealing it with an arranged marriage for Emily. The groom? None other than Cole Grayson. The shock of facing the man who once shattered her lingers, but Emily refuses to let him dominate her life again. Cole isn’t happy either, he’s already engaged to his glamorous fiancée and despises the thought of marrying Emily.
Forced into a loveless union, their hatred burns hotter than ever. Yet, as circumstances conspire to keep them together; living under one roof, attending public events as the perfect couple, they begin to see the cracks in each other's facades. Old wounds resurface, fiery clashes turn to unexpected sparks, and Emily wonders: is hate truly the opposite of love? In a wide range of betrayal, longing, and second chances, Emily and Cole must decide if they can rewrite their story.
Ethan Klein has never shown me a shred of tenderness despite being with me for three years.
He's the prestigious and untouchable Alpha King of Eclipse Kingdom. I, on the other hand, am just a fragile human replacement of his mate.
All the wolves know that Ethan's fated mate is my older sister, Nora Mueller, who has fled from the altar.
In the past three years, Ethan has shown me his wild and domineering side at night. But whenever he's done taking from me, he abandons me ruthlessly without a second thought.
I'm really tired of this life.
But one day, Nora, who has gone missing for three years, sends me a text to announce her eventual return.
The entire Kingdom can't wait to watch me humiliate myself. But the truth is, I'm secretly pleased when I see the text.
Finally, Ethan's fated mate is here to take over her responsibilities! There's hope for my busted hip!
In order to ensure that Ethan will break the bond with me, I send Ethan a few fabricated photos of me cheating on him under the guise of my lover.
"Ethan, I'll gladly take your replacement mate off your hands."
Betrayed By My Alpha Fiance Claimed By My Lycan King

As a bestselling paranormal romance writer, I've killed off villains, rejected cheating Alphas, and handed out happy endings for years.
Turns out, writing about betrayal is a lot easier than living through it.
I caught my fiancé, Alpha Kael Draven, in bed with my stepsister. They expected tears, screaming, maybe a dramatic slap or two.
I gave them a smile instead.
Nothing bruises a cheating Alpha's ego faster than realizing his mate doesn't care enough to fight over him.
Just when I thought I'd survived the worst day of my life, the most feared Lycan in the country arrived at our pack, and suddenly everyone forgot about the affair and started acting like I was the real problem.
Now my cheating fiancé won't let me out of his sight, my delusional stepsister is determined to steal a title that was never hers, and a dangerous Lycan keeps looking at me like he's been waiting for me his entire life.
The funny thing?
I've written this story before.
Or... at least I thought I had.
Because this one refuses to follow my plot, the characters won't obey me, and I'm beginning to suspect the Moon Goddess never bothered reading my books.
If this is fate's idea of a romance, she seriously needs a better editor.
I ran into this issue a while back and found a few tricks that worked for me. The first thing I did was manually sync my Kindle by going to the settings and selecting 'Sync My Kindle.' Sometimes the automatic sync doesn’t kick in, and this forces it. If that doesn’t work, I disconnected and reconnected my Goodreads account under the Kindle’s Goodreads settings. Another thing that helped was clearing the cache on the Kindle by holding the power button for 40 seconds until it restarts. It’s a bit of a hassle, but it often resolves the glitch. Lastly, I made sure both my Kindle and Goodreads app were updated to the latest versions, as outdated software can cause these kinds of issues. If none of these work, contacting Amazon support might be the next step, but I haven’t had to go that far yet.
Make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into before you sync your Kindle to Goodreads, because by enabling this feature you’ll be sharing your reading progress (and, thus, your reading habits and how fast you read) with Amazon’s social platform. This means that, in addition to being able to see your own progress, your friends list will be able to see when you’re reading a certain book. Goodreads has a lot of privacy settings for things like this, but they can be very granular and sort of confusing. So, my take is that, if you do end up enabling this, you should go into your Goodreads privacy settings and see who can see your updates. If you’re not really into the social part of Goodreads, you might even want to set your reading activity to “Only Me”. The convenience of having your Kindle update your Goodreads account automatically is not worth sharing every single page turn with the world unless you’re really into that sort of thing.
