Comment: None of the sources are reliable, secondary, independent sources. User-generated reviews such as Goodreads are not reliable sources nor are self-published sources like blogs and same for commercial sites selling the books. There is not a single source that meets the above criteria. If resubmitted without substantial improvement, the draft may be rejected, meaning it will no longer be considered.
