This news is a little late in coming since this happened back in August of this year, but to everyone’s great relief, megatroll JennyJen has gotten the axe from Goodreads.  You will all remember JennyJen as Carpet Bomber #5 of our Carpet Bombers series and as one of the nastier trolls who hypocritically targets and bullies others online, be it author or reader.

Only time will tell.
