Aki asked Russ Melrose:

Why would you want to friend me?

Russ Melrose Hi Aki. I befriend people on Goodreads for two reasons. First, I befriend people who belong to groups where I have a reading interest (apocalyptic, dystopian, mystery, thrillers, etc.). That way I can read their reviews and find books I might have an interest in reading.

Second reason. I'm an author. So I befriend people in groups that I think might have an interest in reading my novels. And I sometimes will give out ARC copies of my novels (a free digital copy in exchange for an honest review) to people in those groups.

That's pretty much it. Thanks for asking your question.
