It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.
The Missing
1 journaler for this copy...
This is a place of mystery...a sanctuary. Every book, every volume you see here has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.

I read this book about a month ago, but must have forgotten to journal it. I had picked it up on a whim because I liked the cover when I saw it in a charity shop and was interested because the writer is from Dublin. Crime is not my genre of choice but I really enjoyed The Missing and I am pleased to see that Jane Casey's new book The Burning is now available. Will pass this one on asap.
