Ah...didn't realize that. Maybe that's why he left the one thread open. He went to such great lengths to tie-up various loose ends that it did surprise me.

I've been reading adult sci-fi horror lately so decided I needed a break and needed to get back to YA so started a reread of Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis . The BotM thread looked so good!!

Heidi | 2372 comments Sorry to take over the thread for a minute David and crew but I know some of you are also members of my group YA and Beyond and just wanted to let you know something happened over this past weekend and the group just disappeared! Goodreads has been contacted and evidently this occurred with several GR groups and they are working on finding and fixing the problem. Now back to your regularly scheduled program :)

p.s.Jenny I am reading your Around the World book Out of the Easy Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys and enjoying it thus far. Kaylani contacted me and told me she is next on the list so if the group is not back up and running before I finish the book at least I know who is next!

I'm glad this was brought up because I noticed but didn't want to whine about one of my favorite groups going away haha.

Hope it all gets settled.

Heidi | 2372 comments Thanks Karen, Donna, Tommy, and Jenny. I rec'd an email from GR yesterday saying that they are hoping to get to the bottom of things within the next few days so keep your fingers crossed. So weird!

I remember that Karen is after Kaylani...after that...there are 2 or 3 that I can't remember, then David, then Savannah. Hopefully the group is restored! I don't know what to do otherwise :(
