tell me about good reads

After reading through Kristen's book post, I want to know more about good reads.  I read tons but know next to nothing about good reads.  For people who use it, what do you like about it?  How often do you use it?

Re: tell me about good reads

  • Back when I had more time to read, I used it often. It allowed me to keep track of the books that I want to read. And I could read the reviews of books that my friends read and then I might add that to my list too.
  • I love it - it's a great way to connect with friends that are also into reading and see their reviews, get recommendations and keep a running tally of what you've read and what you still want to read.  You can also enter to win books, which is kind of fun.

    Whenever I read an article reviewing books or see a message board post about them, I always open up my Goodreads account to add to...it's a problem.

    The one thing I wish it did was recommend books or authors based on your ratings of books you've read...it doesn't.  But it's still fun to have one spot to keep track of books to read - I always write down a list of books from there to take with me to the library.  Surely there's some sort of smart phone app for this, but, alas, I am without a smart phone.

    I also love it.  I find it very satisfying to log my books after I've read them.  Then I like to count up how many books I've read this year, compare it to years past etc.  I'm weird!  I love to see what my friends are reading and how they rated books compared to myself.  It's great to have a place to keep track of what I want to read...I do the same as Laura, and enter it in good reads as soon as I hear a book I want to read, and then I make a list from Goodreads to make requests from the library.
