October bonus read: Blindness by Jose Saramago
The Apocalypse Whenever movie club
Watch Pontypool with us.
Pontypool is based on a book by Tony Burgess. ​It is on Netflix or for rent from the usual suspects.
"A psychological thriller in which a deadly virus infects a small Ontario town."
Not your usual virus though...
​
A "winter movie"...
​
There is also a thread up for discussing options for a wintertime movie... feel free to add your own nominations to Jennifer's thread!
This was ​AWESOME. A reminder for anyone not already familiar - GR invited a number of people (those with different roles on the site, such as authors, reviewers, moderators and librarians) to visit the Goodreads HQ a couple of weeks ago, for the 2nd annual Power User Summit.
There were many questions asked and answered, and I think it was good for everyone involved. It's always a pleasure to be surrounded by fellow book lovers. At dinner I even heard one GR staffer (with no prompting from me!) go off on a mini-monologue about The Last Man by Mary Shelley. :-P
​
Thanks to everyone who shared their suggestions/GR concerns with me - I forwarded them on. Although I can't talk about some of the upcoming features they will be adding, I can say that there will be some very happy Goodreaders when they do! There are some things to look forward to, certainly.
​
I only got a handful of photos, sadly, but here they are if you're bored and avoiding doing something productive...
