    Goodreads, anyone?
    I was just wondering if anyone else has a Goodreads account
    http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/11003030-rachel is my profile if anyone wants to add me, I've just discovered the site today and it seems an awesome tool to finding new books! I'm sure I'm a bit late on the bandwagon here

    Love Goodreads. I wish someone would do a film/tv version.

    Goodreads is awesome. Nearly every book I've read I first saw on that site.

    I've recently discovered this site too! I love it, the reviews are all so useful and it means I know have a list of to-read books

    The only thing I dislike is that the book 'recommendations' are completely hit and miss at the moment, but I think that may be because I've only rated ~30 books

    Been debating for a while about whether or not I should sign up to this site. Is it any good?

    Yeah its very good imo. You don't have to pay or anything so I don't see the harm in signing up, especially if you like to read.

    I have added you on there - I used it ages ago but then forgot about it, really need to get back into reading and I'm always one who researches a book and reads reviews before I buy it, so it's very useful. The amount of people reading 'fifty shades of grey' on my newsfeed makes me despair, though.

    I downloaded a sample on my Kindle of fifty shades and really didn't like it at all, for starters it isn't even written that well

    I've accepted the three people that have added me, thank you
    I hope it's alright for me to creep on your profiles to find new books...

    I love goodreads so so much. It's very interesting to see what other people thought about books you've read or want to read and, most of the time, you can tell if a book is good or not by the reviews on there. I cannot express how much I love goodreads :love:.

    Love Goodreads! I actually met my long-distance boyfriend through that site. One day I wondered why the hell some guy was adding me when we only had one book in common, and 3 years later I'm about to move near 300 miles to go to his local uni. Beware Goodreads, single people! lol

    Woah, congrats.

    Another reason I love Goodreads is because most writing authors have their own page and actually contribute. You also get to win book prizes!

    Goodreads is awesome.

    I logged all the books I own when I first joined - made me realise how much I've got to get through and that I really shouldn't buy anymore until I've actually finished some

    P.S. I'll add you OP

    I'll add you too if that's okay.

    Goodreads and Bookmooch are my favourite two book sites. I used to get free books off Bookmooch and list 'em on my Goodreads or find recommendations off Goodreads and go request them from someone on Bookmooch. Good times. I need to get back into doing that!
