The convenience of GoodReads was nice, but perhaps blogs will come back in style!

I’m slowly deleting my reviews — I have some NetGalley commitments to meet, and some small press authors I don’t want to penalize. Though it’s a lot more painful doing it this way.

Comment on Leaving Goodreads, coming back to blogging on WordPress by Erin @ YA Book Crush https://ebebee.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/leaving-goodreads-coming-back-to-blogging-on-wordpress/#comment-391 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 19:41:45 +0000 http://ebebee.wordpress.com/?p=106#comment-391 I’m another not directly impacted by this mess, but I’m still getting ready to pull out of Goodreads due to the way this was handled. I opened an account at Librarything in April after the Amazon announcement and cross-posted all my reviews, so it looks like that will be my primary book community going forward.

I’m still waffling about reopening an old blog of mine, so seeing you do the same is kind of motivating. 🙂 Best wishes!

Comment on Leaving Goodreads, coming back to blogging on WordPress by Charleen https://ebebee.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/leaving-goodreads-coming-back-to-blogging-on-wordpress/#comment-390 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:37:37 +0000 http://ebebee.wordpress.com/?p=106#comment-390 I also wasn’t directly affected by the policy… and even if I was, I keep all the same information in my own spreadsheet, so I wouldn’t have actually lost anything (I can’t feel TOO bad for the people for whom that’s their biggest complaint).

But the whole situation just isn’t right. Why would I want to help sustain a community that clearly isn’t focused on readers anymore?

Comment on I was just wondering: by Mike L B https://ebebee.wordpress.com/2008/11/13/i-was-just-wondering/#comment-189 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:30:09 +0000 http://ebebee.wordpress.com/?p=81#comment-189 Some may generalize that Liberals react to problems without considering the full consequences of the solution. The Liberals see a hungry child, so they institute a welfare program, and it feeds the child in the short term, but in the long run, is it really good for society? I’m sure there are better examples.

My argument would be that liberals and conservatives both have knee-jerk reactions, just about different things. For example, “shoot first, ask questions later.”

It seems to me that conservatives more often then non-conservatives want to put labels on people, like “liberal,” and then lump us all together, and say “Liberalls are this” and “Liberals are that.” And I say to them, there is no such thing as black and white, there is only gray, and if you boast “I only see things in black and white” than what you are really saying is “I am an idiot.”

A friend of mine used to say “You are giving me the weebs.” It may have been that.
