Thanks for the reminder of the day. It's early and it didn't occur to me what was happening right away.

I kinda wish this was true... Not necessarily in the cheesey-celeb-magazine way but a Goodreads Magazine could be really cool
OMG dead!!! For a second I thought it was real and then I was like "April Fools"! Lol that was hilarious!!!! Happy April Fools!
Oh my goodness, the "Who Wore It Best" is killing me! That could go on forever with all the YA and romance novels; it seems like everybody features white girls wearing prom dresses on their covers.
I wish this was real :(
I wish this was real :(
OMG!I thought it was real for a second and ahhhh I want this to be real!!!Goodreads please do this:) *puppy dog eyes* and I believe it will be the only gossip mag I'l ever buy hahaha.!
The "Who wore it best" and "Insults: He calls Rowling cuckoo, she says King's...a muggle!" are absolutely hilarious!
If only this magazine were real, I would have subscribed already! :D

Believe nothing day again. Turn off the news, ignore your feeds, come back when they decide to make some sense again. Blah.
What about readers leaving in other countries and do not have Kindle? Such a pity we won't be able to read it online! :(
Is it sad that I wish this was real? I think it or maybe something a little similar but focused more on the books would be awesome:)
Ok, is it true or I am attacked by the 1st April practical jokers? If it is true, than I can't wait for it!

Aurelia for AudioFile here. Brilliantly done Goodreads! The other AudioFile editors were right on the April 1st connection, while I started out believing, or at least wanting to believe...
What a gem of a cover! I think I laughed at every little tidbit. Calling King a muggle! Hahahaha! Reading "Infinite Jest" seven times!! HAHAHAHA!!!
I have tears coming down my cheeks.
