I’m referring to the regularly occurring threads recommending books posters have recently read ( **Kahadj** i threads, though not exclusively). I know there were at least two of these recently, but for the life of me I can’t find them. I’m not talking about "ID this book " type threads or genre specific ones, but general book recommendation threads. I am probably just missing them, but I just went through every thread with a reply from July and I can’t find one of them. I’m sure I have seen two of them near the top of the board in the last few days. What happened or what am I missing? ---

The very first thread in Cafe Society, a sticky thread, is a book rec compendium. ---

And the most recent thread linked there is from three and a half years ago. ---

The weird thing is, when I pull up the list of all threads posted in July it isn’t there, but if I click on your link, there it is! ---
