I joined Goodreads right after publishing my book. I spent my first day quickly adding fifty books I'd already read to my shelf so I could become a Librarian and edit my book information.  Since then I've been really enjoying keeping track of what I've read and adding more to my 'to-read' list. Here's my profile: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5266694.Elisabeth_Grace_Foley |

I think GoodReads is an excellent way to find new books and keep track of what you've read. It makes it easy to remember where I left off on various series, and keeps me from rereading a book by accident.

I've had a goodreads account under my real name for awhile, but I never really used it. Mostly because I was too lazy to try and get all of my books entered, because I have a lot.  However, I joined up under this name and am trying to be a good girl and actually add my books. I haven't gotten into a lot of the cool features yet, so I'm exploring. I'd love to befriend anyone with similar reading interests (fantasy, mystery, suspense, YA, classics, some sci-fi, some romance)! http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/5834453-eliza-baum |

I'm a member. I have to confess I find remember and rating books a little addicting. I really enjoy it. http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/5634574 |

I'm a member on goodreads. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4341612.Nana_MaloneThough I must admit, I'm probably not going in as often as I should to see what's new and what folks are reading. I find the interface a little confusing sometimes. Nana |

Yes, goodreads is a great site. Very useful to reader and author alike. My profile's in my sig, but that's such a long way away, so here it is, in a much more clickable location: Jim Chaseley  Pop along and say hi! |

I've been on GoodReads for a couple of months, getting to know the place and situating my books. I'll be going through the blog this weekend to find some new GoodReads friends. I don't have any friends on Goodreads yet, and I think my profile is getting lonely...LOL. Now that I'm sort of caught up on other things, maybe I can participate a little more. I love the lists, and the fact that I can keep a virtual library of what I've read, with ratings...pretty cool. Look for some friend invites this weekend from me! ( William Petersen) Feel free to drop me an invite, I'll be bouncing around the web all weekend. W.P. 2-19-2012 I've got some new GoodReads friends on my blog today - http://www.williampetersen.wordpress.com - including Ashley Fontainne, Jim Chasely and Pedro L. Alvarez I'm also adding all my new GoodReads friend's books to my shelves, hopefully it will help connect some readers and writers. (I'm all about promoting others, but I won't arbitrarily rate books I haven't read. I can, however, add them to my shelves for everyone to see...they are also shown with their cover art on my blog page...) 2-20-2012 You guys are awesome! Thanks to all my new friends...I'm going down the list to include a few each day on my promo blog. Smiley W.P. |

I've been a goodreads member for awhile now, and I find the reader side of it pretty cool. But honestly, I am not very tech savvy and I do find it a little hard to figure out sometimes, but maybe that's just if your a goodreads author? I do shelfari too, I do find it easier to use. But I don't use either a lot. My reading list is already so long, I really don't find that I'm ever searching for new reads on a regular basis. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5113138.Rachel_M_Humphrey_D_aigle |

I know what you mean about the to be read stack, mine is not very long its long enough. I have been keeping a rather long to be read stack which I am trying to work down a bit. Also if you are here then you are tech savy. I've been a goodreads member for awhile now, and I find the reader side of it pretty cool.

Hi everyone on GoodReads! I've just made a short quiz on the GoodReads site, using the theme of Native Amerians in popular literature as the theme, and mentioning animal spirits and other ideas relevant to my book in some fun questions. http://www.goodreads.com/quizzes/tag/native%20americanHas anyone else done this? I've discovered a new addiction to quizzes and can now see myself being tempted to make many more! |

Hello everyone! Goodreads is a wonderful site. For one who hasn't jumped into social networking, this is an exciting place based on people and their books. I've come to realize how much one's favorite (and most hated) books say about oneself. I don't have any friends as of yet, but I'm hoping to change that soon... Goodreads is no fun without others to share with! http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5753909.William_Trelawny |

 | The Adventures of Riley Raccoon
Think of the most beautiful and perfect person, place, or thing you can think of. Maybe it's your spouse, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your child, special secret place from your childhood, the most breathtaking view in the world, or the greatest work of art ever created. Now, picture it defiled, tainted, destroyed, with no hope of restoration.
This is Riley's adventure- to protect and preserve what he loves most in the world, and is willing to risk his life to do so. He forges an irreplaceable bond along the way, and realizes that the world is a very cruel place. But he also learns there is a place where everything beautiful is eternally safe- inside his own heart. |

I enjoy Goodreads (profile link below) and wish I had more time to participate, although I pop in when I can. I just finished a reply to someone on LibraryThing, though, and that brings up a question that may be good fodder for a new thread perhaps: are you on BOTH Goodreads and LibraryThing? Do you prefer one over the other? http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5751024.B_V_Lawson |

That's a good idea, I'll add a couple too. As soon as my website's up I'll be sure to return the favour. Thanks for the blog mention! My workplace block blogs...So I'm just going to take a look at your blog on my phone, instead. Ha! |

Goodreads is a lot of fun and I get a lot of book recommendations from it, actually. I love finding a good read (haha) based off of various friends' and their friends' reviews. It's also great for authors. I signed on to be a librarian to manage my own book and content and find that it's been a good platform for reviews and referrals just as much as Amazon. Love me some Goodreads! Here's my account. Friend me and I'll be happy to do the same. Love seeing what people read and like! http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5378484.Savannah_PageSavannah Page |

 Before I jump in, can someone explain how Goodreads works? With Goodreads, you can find and review books. It's primarily a reader forum, though authors are pretty active. But the readers are in charge. YOu can follow the reviews of people who interest you etc. There are also groups and forums that you can join to chat. Does that help a little? |
