Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

Rereading Austen's Persuasion and Mary Renault's The Charioteer at the moment. Both of them are stellar reads.

Re: Your current read v6
I'm reading Heir Apparent by Vivian Vande Velde and House Rules by Chloe Neill. I only have about 25 pages left in Heir Apparent, and I'm on page 55 in House Rules, so I'm just getting started with that one.

I'm reading Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard. I read this book about 3 or 4 years ago but never read the books after it. I barely remember enough to move on to book 2 right away, so I'm starting over! I'm looking forward to it.

That's how I was, I had read the first seven or eight last year. Now I'm trying to finish the series.

Blood Red Road by Moira Young. It is so good I recommend to anyone who loves The Maze Runner or The Hunger Games

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult she's my favourite author and her most recent books always seem to be my favourites. This one is shaping up to be another!

Re: Your current read v6
Currently working through Alexander Kent (Douglas Reeman) - Bolitho books, and thoroughly enjoying them. I read the Hornblower series last year by CS Forester, I'm finding the Bolitho series to be all the more in depth and believable despite loving Hornblower.

This is all since purchasing a Kindle, I've read more books in the last 12 months than in the last 5+ years since I bought my Kindle. Love it!

Les Mystéres de Londres, by Paul Feval.

Seeing that it was impossible to get it in Spanish I'm reading it in French... It takes some effort, to be honest. Luckily, I've grown up with Dumas and I manage well with this kind of stories.

Re: Your current read v6
Am beginning to read, 'Red Rain' by R.L. Stine. It's pretty good so far and it reminds me of his Goosebumps series and the Fear Street series, only with an adult tone to it.
