Goodreads

21Jun09

I’ve become a little obsessed with reading again lately, and have been going through books like there’s no tomorrow. I wish I had more time to read, I seriously don’t know how some people manage it!

Whilst browsing a little on my blogroll and other blogs, I noticed that a few have a link to Goodreads so I thought I’d check it out.

And since then I’ve become more than a little addicted to the site.

It’s a bit like Shelfari, if anyone has ever used it but I tend to find I get on better with Goodreads; plus it lists more of the books I have actually read.

It’s opening up a whole heap of books I’ve never read, never heard of and I find myself closeted in the Chick Lit area but there is so much more to explore and I hadn’t really noticed this until I joined. I feel so unintelligent reading a fictional boy-meets-girl romance or soppy stories. I haven’t really read anything with depth or meaning for a very long time. I hope that’s all about to change.

I love books. I love reading and organising them. So this site is perfect for me to potter around on and learn more.

If you feel like joining, add me. You know I’ll make a good friend!

    Hi Claire, Love your blog! I know what you mean about GR and Chics on Lit-very addicting. I just love everyone’s comments on books and other stuff too! The only problem is my TBR list is just completely out of control!

    Sent you a friend request! As they say, so many books, so little time. You’ll find people on Goodreads read all kinds of books so you never have to feel bad about anything you read–you just have to find the right group.
