I also really appreciate that you wrote supportive comments about mental health and supporting fellow authors. That is kindness and so important!

In some respects, Goodreads is a victim of its success: too many readers recommending and reviewing too many books (even among the well-intended); too many book groups; and way, way too little moderation of any sort. Nothing works quite as advertised. I've purchased several Goodreads Giveaways--but came to recognize that the thousands of readers who signed up for a freebie have no intention of every buying or reading my books, and of course an author cannot capture them for mailing list purposes. I think Goodreads' day has come and gone. Thanks for saying out loud what many of us have been thinking!
