I found a discussion group at LibraryThing....
Lots of people are annoyed with Goodreads right now. I haven't had time to decide what I will do about any new policies (I don't think I have lost any reviews but haven't time to check. I am annoyed enough about politics--I don't need to find out that my review cache has been slashed.) But I am already over at LibraryThing*. I think of it as a place to categorize books, but since I have hundreds at Goodreads, I haven't duplicated it at LibraryThing. When I first found the system, it seemed complicated, the interface hard to read for my eyes damaged by illness.
And I didn't immediately spot any good discussion groups at LibraryThing. I found one today, doing the "looking for reviews" bit writers do when their books first come out. Sandstone78 has a topic and reading thread over there, talking about books I would be interested in reading. It was a happy chance that she read Night Calls and Kindred Rites long ago and enjoyed them.
"Book recommendation: Katharine Eliska Kimbriel's Night Calls has just been reissued in ebook, with a print version soon to follow. I have good memories of this book and its sequel, dark fantasies about a young witch on the American frontier learning to control her Gift and deal with the supernatural (a werewolf in the first book and a poltergeist in the second.) I was pleased to see that a third one is on the way sometime next Spring, and plan to re-read these soon, along with a first read of the author's related chapbook Wings of Morning."
A review doesn't have to be a page long to let others know you like a book. Part of why I review books is to let others know when I find something worth recommending. I so appreciate others who do the same.
* Yes, sadly, my books do need some love over there.
