So i just had an email regarding changes being made on here. Since amazon has taken over Goodreads i have disliked the direction the site has been taken.

As a unpublished writer I relied a lot on the FREE giveaways AND BOOK SWAP feature that used to be available. reaching people with my writing that way since I am not very good at publicity.

SINCE they have now made the giveaways into a profit grab with extortionate cost I have been unable to push the latest book I have wrote at all.

NOW THEY ARE REMOVING THE CREATIVE WRITING feature which I love to read people's work on, pushing their KDP marketing in the process.

GOODREADS IS LOSING ITS USER FRIENDLY FEATURES BECAUSE IT SOLD OUT TO A CORPORATE GIANT THAT IS NOTHING BUT GREEDY.

What made this site wonderful and different, is being removed aggressively.

rant over,
