For some reason, the GR page where I post the books has gone missing. I don't know if it was deleted by GR or by someone else...either accidentally or on purpose.

As soon as I get more information, I'll let you know what's going on, but for now, I'm unable to add any books.

[Teri Pre]

*** READ 2013 IN 2013 UPDATE ***

For those of you who don't know, for some reason, the 2013 page has been deleted from GoodReads. We don't know if it was deliberately done by GoodReads or someone else, or if was accidentally deleted.

Jessica and I have both written to GoodReads and have gotten no response.

For now, our challenge is over. I'm glad that we at least made it to our goal, but sorry we can't continue. If something miraculous happens, I'll let everyone know!

[Teri Pre]

You're welcome Sharon! I had fun doing it!

[Rich]

I say we get the torches and pitchforks and go after Otis! He's a witch!

[Andrea (Drea)]

Simply put - this sucks! Lol.

[Teri Pre]

I used much stronger words, let me tell you! :)

[Jackie]

I really enjoyed this!! I read more, one click less. LOL!!! that's a big lie!!!!!

[Landpomeranze (so much to read - so little time)]

Oh boy, sad news. Especially considering all the work that you, Teri, put into this :-(

[Teri Pre]

I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. I had a great time doing it. It was so much fun seeing what everyone was reading! I'm so disappointed that it ended this way. Almost a week and not a word from GoodReads.

[Landpomeranze (so much to read - so little time)]

Well, I am NOT giving up hope yet. I am just NOT! If zombies can rise - maybe so can the data..

[Teri Pre]

:) Things might be looking up! I got an email from them and they're looking into it!
