View original post If it's to remain a WoTmania fansite, it can stay as it is and probably die of obscurity in a few years time.
As a WOT site it died pretty much around the same time as RJ. It's already an "obscure" WOT site for almost anyone but the old timers on various WOT sites.
There's really no point trying to keep that side of it, though I think the "other literarure" aspect would also take a huge amount of work and rejuvenation to lift off the ground.
To whom do you turn when you want to learn more about new books?

Perhaps, but I think "rating-based" reviews distort views to fit into a template

Bookstores here generally don't do recs very well (outside of independents, that is)

Forgive me my sins but most of my reading for the last year has been comics.
