What is Goodreads
Goodreads is the largest social network for readers in the world. We have over 2,500,000 members who have added over 60,000,000 books to their shelves. A place for casual readers and bona-fide bookworms alike, Goodreads members recommend books, compare what they are reading, keep track of what they've read and would like to read, form book clubs and much more.
Why? Let's make reading fun again. Somehow, reading books seems to have gotten a bad rap. People are working too hard and not making time to read, people are watching TV because they can veg out and turn their brains off—hey, we feel it too! But every once in a while you run into a friend who tells you about this "great new book I'm reading." And suddenly you're excited to read it. It's that kind of excitement that Goodreads is all about.
I joined goodreads last night. My username is Jayne Q Public. Feel free to befriend me there.
I think I already like this website because you can save your favorite quotes. I am a quote collector and have been for years. There are tons of books already on the site and you can also search Amazon.com from goodreads. It's quick and very easy to rate and add books to your bookshelf. I took quizzes last night based on the books I put on my shelf. I haven't reviewed any yet, but plan to do so. I joined the NaNoWriMo discussion group and posted a few comments. I had a pretty good time exploring the site. I encourage you to check it out and sign up if you like it.
