Goodreads: yay or nay?

[Tomy Chandrafrost]

Actually, Goodreads is good for seeing people's ratings of a book. However, when it comes to writing reviews from there, I'm less interested. It doesn't give me money like OBC

I use Goodreads but go back and forth on how often I actually look at it. It is a useful tool to have though!

I used to use it to track what I have read and mark what I want to read. It was nice to see what my friends and family were reading too. Last year I started using StoryGraph because I like how they do their reviews. You can give half or quarter stars, and along with your review you can mark the tone of the book, the pacing, and content warnings or spoilers. I miss the social aspect of Goodreads, but overall StoryGraph has been an improvement

I basically use it to catalog my ever growing list of books. Plus I keep track of a few of my favorite author's blogs. I don't participate too much in the forums though. I personally think it has gotten too big

I love good reads! I like that I Dan keep track of what page I’m on/ how far into a book I am and what I’ve already read so I can easily give recommendations. I like being able to see a book I really liked and see whatelse the author wrote

It's not perfect, but I stick with it because I can't be bothered to move so many books to another site. I enjoy the articles they put out about new books, but the recommendation system is awful. Read a foreign author translated to English and now you get recommended books in every language under the sun.
