I love Goodreads, and I love setting the yearly goal! The only problem I have with it is too much spam/ fake accounts. Other that that it's a great tool!

I use it to catalog my reads but not to find new books. Every book I've read that it's suggested to me has been horrible, so I get my recommendations from friends instead. Much better. But it's a great recording tool so I know what I've read, and it helps me when some random person asks "read anything good lately?" Without Goodreads, I'd just stare blankly at the person, but now I can pull out my phone and show them all the books I've recently rated 4+ stars.

I JUST discovered goodreads (I know....where have I been???) but I must say, I love the idea of being able to record the books I've read and rated. I think the book recommendations for me so far are pretty great! I wouldn't use it as a social media app though, and if someone messaged me there or friend requested me I would absolutely ignore unless I knew them personally. But as a way to keep track of read books and books I want to read, I think it is fabulous!!

I'm making an effort to get on goodreads more than other social media. My favorite aspect of the site is the yearly reading goal. I wish they would expand that feature to being able to set the time frame, and compare your progress with other users. The group function is a lil wonky and clunky.

I use Goodreads to look up plot synopsis for books to see if I'm interested in adding them to my reading list. I haven't made an account yet, but I feel like I should. I already have a Letterboxd account where I list and review my movies, so I might as well have one for my books too.

i use it to read reviews and synopses when browsing new books, but i rarely use it to track what i'm reading or post reviews myself (with one notable exception, the book was so bad i had to publically trash it lol). i'm too scatterbrained to be the target audience i think lol.

Hello! I used to be an exceptional student who always managed to complete homework on time. However, recently, I've been struggling to keep up. To avoid overworking myself, I discovered a valuable service where I buy recommendation letters . I wondered why I didn't try this option sooner, as it has saved me a significant amount of time. Now, my grades are excellent, and I'm truly satisfied!

I have a GR account mostly to 'officially' log what I've read, but I can't say I've ever found anything new to read on there (maybe I am using it wrong lol).
