Have you used goodreads to get book recommendations? If so, where did you find recommendations?

Have you read other people's review of books? Did you find them helpful?

Have you written your own reviews of any books?

How else have you found goodreads helpful?

Yes I found peoples reviews very helpful. No I have not written any reviews yet but I'm planning on doing it soon. I've found Goodreads helpful by getting to go back to the old books I've read and the books I'm going to read soon by seeing the reviews.

Joe K. | 1 comments No I have not but I would like to start I think it would be very helpful for me to find great books. Yes I have and they are very helpful they make me want to read the books or not read the books so I don't waste my time reading books I don't like. I have written only one review and it was on the Lost Hero,want to start doing more because it will help people find books to read that they will love. I love good reads because it is a great way to keep track of what you are reading and what you have already read. It is also fun to see what your friends have read I am always going to love good reads.

Yes. I have. One time I went on Emily's page and got a lot of good Michael Phelps books. So far, I have not read anyone else's book reviews but I have written a couple reviews. I have found good reads helpful because I found a lot of good books to read.

I have used Goodreads to get book recommendations under the recommendations button. I find it very helpful that when you hover your cursor over a recommendation, you see what book made them recommend it. I like knowing why they think a book might be good for me.
I have read a few other reviews of books if I don't find the summary helpful, than I look at reviews. I like seeing what other people think of the book, whether it has good words or a bad storyline, it's nice to know another person's opinion.
I have reviewed some of the books I've read, if I really liked or really thought someone should read. I do that because I like reviews too.
I have found Goodreads a very good book tracker. I don't always remember books I've recently on and read, but now I can just log on and see. I also like being able to see books I've read because I don't know what to say when people ask me for book recommendations but now I can just see what I read and tell them a good book.

Brooke C. | 4 comments yes i have got a book recommendation and it was a book that i forget since virginia who i got it from said it was a must read book i added it to my want to read.i think that goodreads is very helpful and interactive because its a lot better than a regular reading log and you get to add friends and see what they are reading. maybe you will even try it if they said it was a good book.also, i plan on doing a book recomendation


message 17: by Brooke (new)

Brooke C. | 4 comments the name of the book that Virginia recommended to me was mission unstopable.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

I have used good reads for book recommendations. I have been recommended "A tale dark and grimm". i found the the book on the recommendation sign. I have not read others book reviews. And i have not done my own book review but i will. I find good reads helpful because i can keep track of the books i have read over the school and over the past few years. Also i find it helpful because i know what my friends have read and i know what i should read myself.

Recommendations are so cool because people can share to you, hay i loved this book maybe you will to! I found my recommendations from friends. Yes i did, they informed me about the book if it was good for me or not! No, but i'd love to. Totally good-reads is the best for me because i can find out things about books.

Jordyn | 3 comments I think good reads is a awesome web site because instead of writing on a reading log we can post witch book we want to read all ready read or currently reading. It's like a Face Book but with a book.
