You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.comAlandrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564958616469735697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808754396447197712.post-41812104924094800412013-10-18T16:03:34.913-05:002013-10-18T16:03:34.913-05:00Thank you for your post and for reminding me of th...Thank you for your post and for reminding me of the timing of this all. Real smooth, Goodreads. The more I read about this (I came to all this very late), the more it concerns me. Your point is entirely correct. The number doesn't matter. The fact they did this and will do this matters a great deal.

I'd like to make that more and more a part of this conversation about Goodreads' ham-fisted actions and their tin-eared response to it.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481936090455797869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808754396447197712.post-86800949190552700882013-09-24T10:42:10.701-05:002013-09-24T10:42:10.701-05:00Thank you, Horrible!

They don't seem to get that censorship and banning book affects all of us - out of the principle of it, not necessarily based on whether we want to read the banned books or not.Serena Yateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057046189095855090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808754396447197712.post-22968056939891516162013-09-24T05:50:45.604-05:002013-09-24T05:50:45.604-05:00Exquisitely written, Richard!
