Goodreads - Good Fun!

I've talked about Goodreads often. I'm sure most people know about Goodreads nowadays, but maybe not all that it has to offer. I joined Goodreads back in college to help keep track of books I was reading and get ideas from friends on what they were reading. Both were helpful, but it wasn't until recently that I truly discovered more from Goodreads.

I started reading more and wanted to find more books that I liked in certain genres and I wanted to challenge myself. Friends can have didn't reading interest so I was looking for something else.

That's when I found the magic of Goodreads groups! I found some groups that have challenges. Apparently challenges are a huge motivator for me to read more and I read probably double what I read the year before because of joining  my first group. I think the joy of groups is also reading books I wouldn't normally pick out on my own or have heard about. Lastly, I love the groups because you can discuss common books, authors, genres, etc. with people from your computer. To me, it's a little more convenient and less pressure than a monthly in person book club.

Another aspect of Goodreads to check out is the giveaways under the "explore" tab. These are books that are being given away. There are constantly great books listed. I've never one a book myself, but have known numerous people who have won! :)

These are just a few of the many great features to Goodreads. So glad I use it and hope you enjoy it too!
