OMG! Have you guys heard the news? Goodreads will soon be no more! Following in the footsteps of Google Plus, it has been announced today that Amazon is planning to shut down its Goodreads site; due to the fact that not enough people read books nowadays. So, what am I and all of the other thousands of authors (and readers) supposed to do now? Reviews of our books, our reviews of others’ books, blog posts, author profiles, groups, sarcastic comments, fake ratings, uploaded photos of members’ snazzy new bookcases for people to ooh and ahh over… all of it will be gone! Forever! I’m in such a state of disbelief, I’ve had to pinch and punch myself.

And what a date to choose to announce the news!
