    Typical - it had to happen on World Book Day of all days.

    I apologise for those who noticed a sudden absence of books being free or bargain today, we had an update go slightly awry.

    The process to handle books at the end of their listed run was being activated at the start of the run instead, so most things were being moved to long term free/bargain.

    It was fixed and the books moved back into their proper place, followed by resending our newsletter out again with the right books in it, instead of no books.

    Apologies once again.

    The second part of this problem manifested itself as several of the reviews have lost their discussion threads, lost links to their discussion threads, and some of our early books have lost their bookpages. We're working on restoring them now.

    The comments have all gone :( Some of mine are saved, so I reposted them. That okay?

    Yes please. If anyone else can remember what they posted, or wants to add new posts, please feel free.

    We're only going to get them back in batches of 20 so it will take a while as there are nearly 200 threads gone.

    So that is what happened. I will add the comments I can remember, but unfortunately bad books tend to remain in my memory longer.

    I wondered why I got a blank email followed by another with everything in.

    No reviews comments, but it'll be fun to see how the reviews have changed over time.

    I take it Reader's positive romance reviews will remain lost to time:silent:

    It was only ever going to happen on a day that mattered...Murphy's Law.

    And so they should. For ever and ever and ever.

    (Apart from the Piano Girl because that was actually good.)

    What happened to the Looking through Lace thread, as I can see it and the comments but they are not on the review pages?
