127 people requesting To the Grave already - not much interest indeed! ;-)

I went onto GR to add Liz's paperback and found the kindle version was already up there with a review!
Very puzzled now!

Goodreads now seem to be calling giveaways 'First Reads' and describing books as advance copies. Does this mean that we can no longer list books that have been out for a while?

I've just checked GR, and that seems to be the case from the way they describe it. But then when I check the books being given away, all (even the recently listed) have publication dates before the giveaway dates, some months before, which seems to suggest that nothing has really changed.
