After reading many articles about the changes in GoodReads' policy, I have decided to close my account. For a well-crafted blog post about the changes and their implications, please read this post from Pictures in the Words. Thalia lays the issues out much more eloquently than I ever could. Now the problem is finding a substitute. I ruled out LibraryThings and Shelfari, but am currently playing with BookLikes. I'll let you know when I make my final decision. Until then, adios GoodReads. You were handy until you started attempting to screw over reviewers.

Addendum: Here's another great post about the issues with GR with GR's original post and response from inquiries on Sept. 23rd. This one is from Pretty Deadly Reviews.
