What if I was a kid? Goodreads is not a secure site. Remove yourself from the site or you will also receive emails from hookers... unless that is your thing. I am angry and this needs to be dealt with. I am going on social media to warn others of this problem. I have tried to cover the 'f' word in the email
Too much going on. I wish there was an IMDB for books, GoodReads is not it. Its an ok site to keep track of the books you read, sort of, but keep in mind that it will just add dates and books that you didn't read. I have one book on the site that I read once, GR has it listed as reading twice, all during a similar time period. Can I change that? Like I said, 'not very user friendly' so apparently not.
As far as searching for a particular list of books, too darn much advertising to actually get through to the bottom of the list. And it doesn't quite get what your looking for.
I follow them on Instagram and check the website for more than 5 years now. Besides reviews of books, there can be found recommendations and lists of books by genres. As for me what makes this website special is to share your thoughts on books.
It's now gone to a shameful corner of targeting authors and with policies bordering on the unlawful. No explanations will be given, your books will magically lose ratings, covers will be misplaced, books you never wrote will appear on your author profile...
After the Amazon take over, it's been terrible.
Goodreads is a great place to see and also write book reviews. If you're a love books, I recommend going to Goodreads. Love this social media for readers. Now I track all my readings and can get decent recommendations. Lovely
Good resource but doesn't seem developed by the owner, Amazon, much at all. Sometimes you find great books to read just by seeing books that are related to your existing collection. That's a great way to browse and discover the many Millions of books that exist.
Well I've been using the app for a while now and its not bad at all. Unlike other free online apps though you pay to read the really good stuff in this app which kinda sucks, but all in all its a great app!.
Except for having an astonishing library, this site has good service for finding reviews of books. Usually, before start reading, I like to check others opinion on a book. Using this service I found the 2 most important features for me - an easy way to find a book of my interest and checking reviews of others on it.
How can they really allow you to rate an unreleased book and allow the review to say "dumb liberal author. Used to like him but hate him now because he's a libtard"
Terrible app/site. I wouldn't recommend believing their reviews.
Ps. Even their staff don't care about this tactic as if you report to remove literal spam they'll say you were in the wrong.
The site does not require verification of reading or purchasing. Some users post fake ratings without reading the books. There are no reviews written along with the ratings. The site owner must be conscious about the consequence of the irresponsible site. Goodreads must have a legitimate policy.
