The author of Tilt did a great interview on our NPR station. Afterwards I made it a point to put it on reserve at my public library.
Well, I'm disappointed. I like the see the new monthly releases on these and comments - I had written comments for a new in April, The Goodreads Editors Share Their April Book Picks, not realizing until went to post the comment from Word (made notes while browsing the list) that all April posts have comments turned off. If this is going to be a new thing, that's discouraging.

So far it appears so. I see new April now with all comments turned off. I enjoyed checking and seeing comments and making comments on these posts. Yes, sometimes people made some negative ones, but majority to me were positive and made interesting debates. I don't do news media sites that have comments turned off either, so this bugs me to say the least. It's a feature I'll miss on checking these out

Personally, I'm going to avoid this site feature and lists in the future since that's been removed. I do the same with news article sites. If I'm blocked from interacting/socializing and input, I'm not going to spend my time browsing this area.
