I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW OF GOODREADS. IT’S LIKE A COMBINATON OF IMDB+FACEBOOK. MEANING THAT YOU CAN BOTH ADD FRIENDS, RECOMMEND BOOKS TO EACHOTHER, AND ALSO MAINTAIN BOTH A “HAVE-READ” LIST AND A “WANT-TO-READ” LIST.
IT HAS ALL THE KINDS OF PUBLICATION VERSIONS FOR EACH BOOK,
WITH THE ISBN CODE, OF EVERY LANGUAGE YOU’D LIKE TO FEATURE AND LOG.
INCLUDING COMICS, GRAPHIC NOVELS, AND SOMETIMES EVEN ADAPTED LECTURES.
MOREVOVER, YOU CAN ADD A BOOK YOURSELF.
YOU CAN FOLLOW THE AUTHOR’S PAGE, OR BUY A BOOK ONLINE.
AS OF MID-2109, GOODREADS HAS MORE THAN 90M USERS, AND MANY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF BOOKS. THERE ARE FEW ALTERNATIVES, LIKE STORYGRAPH. SOME IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES LIKE GERMAN. RUMOURS SAY AMAZON WILL SOON SHUT DOWN GOODREADS.
THERE’S A GOODREADS AWARDS BEING HELD BOTH FOR PARTICULAR GENRES AND THE ANNUAL “BEST BOOK CHOICES”.
THE BEST FEATURE IN MY OPINION, IS THE ANNUAL “READING CHALLENGE“;
YOU SET A NUMBER OF LITERARY WORKS YOU’D WISH TO READ FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.
IT IS FLEXIBLE, YOU CAN CHANGE THE No. LATER, WHILE YOU TRACK YOUR PROGRESS AND REFLECT.
ALTHOUGH I SUGGEST YOU KEEP PUBLISHING YOUR OWN SUMMARY,
GRADING THEM THE FOLLOWING ORDER, AS DO I;
- MOST RECOMMEND:
- BIGGEST SURPRISE(S):
- THE BEST:
- THE WORST:
- DIDN’T FINISH:
- WAS OKAY:
