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.

I partly posted this so I could find you again when craziness leaves my life and I can go back to occasionally reading books for pleasure. Thank you for the recs of groups at LibraryThing, and clearly we must friend each other on LJ so posts are not missed.
Glad you liked the books, and glad you stopped by!
