I'm all for it blowing over and people finding some new excitement.

Hence my feeding frenzy remark earlier.
When you say you might need to stop writing reviews, you mean if I become an author? If so, I have thought about this. I would find it a bit unfortunate because quite a few people have given me feedback that they enjoy my reviews for which I'm grateful and pleasantly shocked.
I know I would have to limit the scope of my reviewing at least in Amazon because apparently even if I sold a crochet pattern there I would probably not be able to write a review on the newest fantasy novel. I wonder if that policy is going to leak into Goodreads over time.
I think regardless, I'd continue my review blog whether I'm able to sensibly post reviews elsewhere or not. If I become a writer, I'm no less a reader.
I don't have another recommendation for the club yet. I seem to be going through less indie fantasy books lately, but I think one is coming up.
