avreliaThe fresh news of the week is that Amazon bought Goodreads. It's a logical move for both sides, of course, but I am upset as a reader, since I really don't want Amazon to own everything book-related. There have to be good independent hangouts for readers of books. And Goodreads was a good one, even though I never got to be a very active user.
of course, they promise that nothing will change, but...
LibraryThing in the wake of Goodreads news announced that they waiver one year's fee for anyone who joins right now:
http://www.librarything.com/blogs/librarything/2013/03/free-accounts-through-sunday/
so, yes, I joined. just because.
in more reading news, I've finished A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan. It was very enjoyable, and not at all what I expected, based on her previous books. Must think up a proper review.
