GOODREADS IS SHUTTING DOWN!
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!

oh no! I am off to panic and change all my Harry Whitewolf reviews to 1stars so people know what I really think... Nothing to lose now right?
No sweat. They'll soon re-open under a new name which charges fees for usage.
Damnit Harry! You had me scared for a moment or two. I hate April 1!

One day Goodreads will close and Harry will be our Prophet.

Hopefully, I ain't a prophet. :)

You don't stand a chance against my team of lawyers. I'm paying them in giant Curly Wurlies circa 1983.

Jason wrote: "Isn't that what Amber Heard did? Sure I heard some mention of a curly wurly...Sooooo you're using her lawyers is it?"I tried to get them, but they're demanding not only Milky Bars but also that I dress up as the Milky Bar Kid, so I told them to stuff it.
