Well, since you ask: I learned one morning that Goodreads had just been acquired by Amazon, after having promised its members that it would stay independent and persuading thousands of librarians to put in dozens of unpaid hours of work each to upload catalog information which was now completely irrelevant. I felt kind of pissed off, and decided to collect together 80 or so of my reviews in a book and then take them offline. The result was If Research Were Romance.
That was very cathartic! I must say, I rather like this "Ask the Author" feature. I don't know why I haven't used it earlier.
