Happy New Year, y'all💗🎉!!!!!!! 2025 wasn't the greatest year reading wise for me, I definitely didn't read as much as I set my goal for😭, but that's okay, 2026 is going to be my reading year. I'm so thankful for all of the lovely friends I have met on here, I can't wait to see what the New Year has in store for all of us💗😘!!!!!!!!

I'm so frustrated I can't comment on anything😭😭, trust me I see y'alls reviews and updates, but it's telling that I can't leave a comment💗😭.

Since I won't be too active today and tomorrow, I just wanted to hop on here and say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you and your families❤🎄🎄🎄❤❤!!!!!!!

How do y'all add the cute formats to your 2026 on Goodreads??? This is my first time doing it and I could use all the helpful tips to make it all cute💗!!

This is a question for my Netgalley users: I got approved for an ARC that comes out in February, and I can't find it ANYWHERE on Goodreads. Has this ever happened to anyone else? What should I do? I've had this ARC for like a month now and I keep checking to see if it's been added to Goodreads and I can never find anything😭😭.

Goodreads, thanks for ruining my whole morning💩💔!!!!!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WON'T BE ABLE TO MESSAGE MY FRIENDS ANYMORE? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WON'T BE ABLE TO DO BUDDY READS ANYMORE? I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS UPDATE😑😑!!!!!!!!!

"Hey, Beau?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks".
"For what?"
"For being my person".

BYE😭😭💛💛

Happy Thanksgiving to my Goodreads family💗🦃, I'm so thankful for all of you and our daily interactions💓💓. For those of you that don't celebrate, I hope y'all have a great day💕!!!!!!!!

I spent some time to write a review, only to click post and Goodreads telling me the page can't be found and now my whole review is gone😑😑. Sorry for the rant😭😑!!

Does anyone know how to opt out of polls? PLEASE HELP😭😭😭!!!!!! I actually love helping y'all choose your next book to read, but these friend request polls and "what should I do today" polls keep flooding my notifications😭😭. If anyone knows how to not get invited to certain ones PLEASE TELL ME HOW😭😭😑😑!!!!!!!!

Is anyone else having notification issues again or just me??😭😭

Hi y'all, I'm so sorry I was inactive the past few days, my brother was in town and I took some time away from reading and interacting, but I'm back and I hope to be caught up with all of your updates and reviews by the weekend. Again, I apologize for disappearing💗!!!!!!

Does anybody actually want to do a buddy read? I haven't done one in so long and I miss reading with people😭💗!!!!!!! I've had two buddy reads lined up for a few weeks, but it seems I've been pushed to the side. Just message me or comment on this update💟.

Can someone teach me how to add gifs in my reviews please?? I feel like I'm the only person on Goodreads who doesn't know how to do it😭.

GTFO, WHATTTTT???????? Melissa, please don't do me like this.

BLESSED TO SEE ANOTHER YEAR #23💖🎂!!!!!!!

I can't see anyone's challenge unless it shows up on my feed, is this happening to anyone else????

Is anyone else's notifications not working? Mine were working just fine until last night, like even after I check the notification box, I'm still not receiving notifications for reviews I've commented on, is this happening to anyone else or is it just me????

📢GUESS WHOSE BACK📢!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry I've been so inactive this past week😭😭. I've missed all of you so much and I love you all💖. I'll be playing catch up with everything that I missed while I was gone, so please be patient with me, I didn't forget about you😭😭. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving🦃💖.

Okay, so, I've noticed a few other people are doing this. If you see this update on your feed please leave a comment. Goodreads is being wacky and not showing ANY of my reviews to my friends. I'm trying to see if this update shows to any of my friends. Thank y'all for your help💖!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if Goodreads shadow bans people? Because people keep telling me they don't see my reviews or anything I post, when I know for a fact I'm always active and posting on here😭😭.

Y'all I am completely in shock😭💔. Liam Payne from One Direction has just died💔💔. One Direction was my freaking childhood band😭😭!!

I feel like I'm entering my buddy read era again, so if anyone wants to do a buddy read, please feel free to drop your recommendations on this update or you can send me a message💗!!!!!!!! I look forward to reading with any of you.

I can't express this enough, if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all. It just takes a single moment to leave a respectful comment on someone's review, there's no need for hateful/rude comments. I have received a few on my reviews lately, I choose to ignore them until I can think of something to say, but in the end I deleted them. Please be respectful to others💗.

Is anyone else having issues with Goodreads lately? The past few days Goodreads keeps adding books that I've already read a few years prior and they randomly add that I'm rereading that said book a second time. Like I'm not rereading these books at all, but Goodreads keeps marking that I'm reading it a second time, when I'M NOT🤔🤔.

📢CALLING ALL MY ANNOTATING QUEENS📢 What highlighters do y'all use? I want to start annotating my physical books, but I don't want the highlighting to bleed through the pages, someone please help a girl out😭💕!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY🇺🇸❤💙🇺🇸❤💙🇺🇸❤💙🇺🇸❤💙!!!!!!!!! To those that don't celebrate, I hope you have an amazing day💗!!!!!!!!
