Did they give you a sense of whether they would be able to fix this? What a disaster. I'm down to 90 but was around 400

Thank you for this discussion thread--I about lost it when my count went from 193 to just 25! I couldn't figure out what I'd done wrong!!

In December we read authors Hasek through Hoeg and in April we read Infante through Kertesz. But what about the 24 books with authors Hoffman through Hyland?

The books between Hoffman and Hyland are included in December, because "Hoeg" is actually Høeg and, in the Norwegian alphabet, ø comes after y.

Oh okay. I understand now. Thanks for clearing that up.

This is a nice thing to do, John! I should go through my books, and see what I can part with, too.
Maybe we should set up a 1001 Craigslist style book exchange.

Or not, so far no one seems interested. :-) Of course that may just be the selections.

It is very nice of you. I own them all already otherwise would have jumped at the chance. Thanks!

I just spring-cleaned my books (since we're hitting 70 today and looking at a possible snowstorm Friday).I have the following to offer:
Possession
The Virgin in the Garden
(I tried. I really did. Just couldn't read Byatt)
The Music of Chance
On Beauty
White Noise
The Forbidden Kingdom
The River Between
The Book of Disquiet
Love's Work: A Reckoning with Life
The Passion of New Eve
If anyone is interested, send me a private message. I'm sure as I get going through more boxes, I'll find more. Lots of these were picked up at library sales and book drives, so they may not be pristine, but they read well. Except the Byatts...

Hello everybody,Twice this month I've received a friend request from someone with a dubious account. Each time I declined the friend request. I am curious however are any of you experiencing something similar?
By dubious account I mean someone who doesn't have one book listed. Additionally I noticed an awkward attempt at being sexually provocative.

Yes. I've gotten a few. Others have noticed this since it's been brought up in the Goodreads feedback group. Hopefully it stops soon. I screen requests and won't accept requests from people o don't know unless we have lots of books in common

Any idea why that happened?"Shaun from GR said that this is officially fixed as of today. I am unable to tell, however, because I can no longer open the link without it timing out. I can open challenges in other groups, though. Is anyone else having the same problem? I even tried it using other web browsers, other servers, and other computers with the same result.

I just checked and it is fixed. It did load slow but I am on the road so not sure why it loaded slow but it didn't time out.

I noticed this, too, and made a comment on Goodreads Feedback. They are looking into finding a solution to fix the situation. Apparently, some glitch developed with the roll-out of the new re-read function. I lost close to 500 books - Yikes!
