I enjoy keeping up to date on all the trends and latest happenings in social media. Last year I blogged about Pinterest. My most recent obsession is GoodReads.
What is GoodReads exactly? It is a social network for bookworms, like myself. On GoodReads, you can share what books you’ve read, your reviews, and what you are currently reading. Have you ever been in one of those instances where you’re at a bookstore and you can’t remember the name of the books you’ve wanted to read? (I’ve been there. Many times.) GoodReads has that covered with a handy “to read” list.
And best of all, this is a social network so you can add your friends and their lists! Think the book that your friend is reading is interesting? Add it to your list!
There is also an app for the iPhone and Android. So if you’re at a party discussing books (what? that doesn’t happen to you? ) you can quickly jot down the names.
Check out my GoodReads shelf here!
Are you on GoodReads?
I’m not on GoodReads….*yet*. It was only last month that I finally joined Pinterest though;)
I have some friends who utilize it, and I love to read. I will look into it now. Thanks!
You must sign up! Really convenient and fun for book readers.
i found this out a couple of months ago and I’m starting to use it more and more. When I get old I’ll have no trouble remembering all the books I’ve read 🙂
Haha that’s another advantage I didn’t even think of! 🙂
