Duplication in ER 'books you've won'

One of my titles in my 'won list' is now showing as listed twice. I only noticed this issue this week following the Great April Dead Time, and I assume it's a related issue from reviving all the various data bits. This title wasn't duplicated when last I looked in early April.

I can confirm the book entries are exact duplicates of each other, same batch date, record of receipt info, URL data, etc.

ETA: Minor change to include phrase 'Early Reviewer' in thought of being helpful for trawl searching.

Thanks for reporting. This is likely tied to the Great Downtime, and we'll resolve it. If it's any consolation, other members who won the same book are also seeing this issue.

I should also add that only folks who won The Merry Spinster from the Dec. 2017 batch are experiencing this issue, as far as I can tell. Other books from the same batch are not affected.

>4 norabelle414: Yes, I'm bitter too, but I am also nearly at the top of the library waiting list for it, so I'm glad to look forward to that.

>5 MyriadBooks: The author had a book signing at my local bookshop at the end of March so I ended up buying a copy there so he could sign it. I'm not unhappy to support the author or the bookstore, though, as that's what I would have done if I hadn't won the LTER copy.

The Merry Spinster is still showing up twice on my "Books You've Won" page
