My Daily ♥ #139: goodreads

Last night, it was brought to my attention that I was the only one at our dinner party without a goodreads account. I love to read (even if I have neglected to read my book club books in the last year or two). I used to log my books in a Facebook app but then decided to get rid of all my apps in Facebook and lost my log.

So today, I signed up for goodreads. I added books that I remembered reading over the years (100 read books plus 14 that I haven't finished). Most of them I rated as four stars. The books I didn't like, I didn't bother adding - and perhaps most of the books I didn't like I didn't finish anyway.

The site is great. It gives you recommendations according to the books you have read. You can link your account with your friends so that you can see what they are reading and get recommendations that way. It's also great to remember a book you loved, and by clicking on the author perhaps find other books you would love.

The site is also a great way to get information about a book. When you see a book title, you get the description and the user rating. There are groups that you can join (or create) for specific books or genres. I'm still pretty new so haven't used it to its full capacity. For more information on how the site works, click here.

I have added a list of books I'm currently reading in the right hand column of my blog in case you're interested in seeing what books I'm currently reading. Feel free to connect on goodreads with me as well.
