I phrased myself poorly.
Your review is not, of course, the property of GoodReads - when you publish it, however, it becomes part of the site, and they can do with their site whatever they please. You are always free to cross-post your reviews to your own website. GoodReads behaves as a simple hosting medium for reviews, and they have the right to choose which reviews they host. My apologies for the confusion!
(Anyway, I'll slip into lurking mode henceforth - this topic is already going around in circles, so this clarification is really the only new thing I have to say on the topic!
