I use Goodread sometimes, when I am looking for something new to read or other recommendations. I update very infrequently.

Actually now that I have added most of you it looks like I barely used goodreads. I either need to get better at updating, adding books, and getting them from my currently reading to my read pile. Also adding books in that I want to read.

I have been adding everyone as well, but they have a limit on the number of people you can add a day. Seems strange.

The only reviews I take notice of are my friends and the average star rating of a book. I have goodreads because I like to keep track of what I read and the recommendations are pretty accurate. I treat reviews by people I don't know like I treat yahoo answers.

Thats exactly how I look at the reviews. Plus the reviews done by housewives are terrible. Twilight A++++++ Lolita F-. Ugh.

I noticed some of you were looking for recommendations on the site so I went a little nuts this morning and recommended a bunch to some of you.

I've been adding all the people in the thread and trying to send recomendations based on what people have mentioned here that they've enjoyed!

Also: like last week I made a group on GoodReads but I didn't realize there was already one. Whoops. D:

I am glad you did, it seems like the other group has almost no activity.

If it makes you feel better I just counted my bookshelf and I have like 65 unread books.

And my bookshelf will only hold like 60 of those haha. My latest Amazon order I've just had to leave in the box because there's nowhere to put any of them.

I feel your pain. My too read shelf has 98 books on it. I always see a book that looks interesting and I will drop it in there.
