Well, Goodreads looks really cool so I signed up C: I have a lot of books I've read, and a lot I want to read; also, the site told me that there were actually several sequels coming soon for a few series I have read in the past! [eager] So i'm excited!
Giveaways sound really cool, too~ |
I use Goodreads to catalog the books I own, track what I'm reading, and list all the books I want to read or that someone has recommended to me. I give books star ratings when I finish them, but never leave reviews. I hardly ever read other people's reviews either, or browse for recommendations from the site.
I save my posting energy for Mene, generally. :3 |
I like to read through the one-star reviews. Some of them are just...amazing, honestly.
I post the best ones on my tumblr. [rofl] Where else can you find gems like this? http://40.media.tumblr.com/478517212...i32o1_1280.png |
Well, I didn't just spend half an hour going through Knerds tumblr reviews and stuff [ninja]
|
Oh my god, bad reviews are hilarious!
|
I have no energy for it right now.. I just started two books, both of which are re-reads that I've lost track of how many times I've already read them. But I've got until Nov. 4 before the next book I'm waiting on to be published and available in stores. So just killing time with books I've already got.

I just finished American Gods. I need a new book to read [cry]

Unfortunately I'm never online on goodreads. I usually just access it for a minute or two on my phone when I need to update something. >.<
|
Me too! i figured if I knew people on there it might persuade me to be a more active participant [XD]

Bad reviews on Goodreads can be pretty golden. I actually use Goodreads reviews to help me decide if I should order books or not for the bookstore where I work. If a lot of people like it and can coherently explain why, I will probably order it. If a lot of people really hate it and have reasonable, articulate reasoning, then I probably won't order it. Yay, technology! Bringing people together!
Sorry if I crashed the party here, I just love books. (And the above-posted tumblr is fun, by the way. GREAT idea.) :) Also, I wanted to do this goal at the beginning of the year, but I lost track of how many I have read. Maybe next year if I have some place like this holding me more accountable? ;) |
I never go by Goodreads reviews. most of the people have completely different opinions of the books that I read.

I'm experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Someone recommend something for me to read. Modern fantasy maybe. Or fantasy. I will love you.
|
what kind of fantasy? the last fantasy I read was the Throne of Glass series.
|
Any kind. Just... something. [headdesk]
Haven't heard of Throne of Glass. Any good? |
I loved it, there are four books, first three in the series and then a book with a compilation of short stories. it's by Sarah J. Maas.
|
Hmm, four books. Sounds good. I'm going to go look up the synopsis :)
|
it's got a badass female main character.
|
Even better!
|
and the love story is minimal and its got assassins and magic and fae but none of its cheesy.
|
Another good fantasy series I just got into recently is the Green Rider series by Kristen Britain. There are currently 5 books; I haven't read the last one yet, so I'm not sure if the series is finished or not.
But it's got a tough female protagonist and plenty of adventure and magic. Epic bad guys from the past, time travel sometimes, cool supporting cast of characters. :D I'm going to have to check out this Throne of Glass series too. |
ANybody hear off Prince of Bones? Sounds dark and gritty, just like I enjoy [XD]
