GoodReads has become almost completely dysfunctional, so I'm moving over to BookWyrm. GoodReads won't save new books that I add, won't save my reviews, and is becoming more and more difficult to use.

I'm glad someone has removed the bogus reviews of my book The Enchanted Grove.

Someone emailed me to ask if my book was on GoodReads, so I gave them the link, and within half an hour a bog us review had appeared, obviously written by AI and based on the the summary of the book on the GoodReads page. The person who posted it had obviously not read the book at all, so the review was utterly worthless.

Why can I no longer update progress on books I'm currently reading?

Seems GoodReads is losing functionality and is no longer a useful tool for keeping track of books one owns or reads.

Does anyone know of alternatives?

So many things on GoodReads have stopped working that it can no longer be used to track one's reading properly, which makes the reading challenge thing useless. Is Amazon winding it down in preparation for ending it, like Skype?

Finished Griffin Castle by Jenny Nimmo. Probably 3 stars -- characters and dialogue not very convincing.

Why won't GoodReads let me update my reading progress any more?

On page 92 of Where the World Ends by Geraldine Whatsername. Good Reads seems reluctant to show it on my home page.

None of my books have made it to the "Readers who enjoyed X also enjoyed Y" list on GoodReads yet. To do so, they need to have a certain number of reviews, so I'm appealing to friends and followers on GoodReads to help me by reading one or more of them and writing a review.

The Enchanted Grove will be free on Smashwords sale from 2-8 March 2025. and others will be half-price.
