Being a book worm disycovering this site for me was like a new treasure. I recommend you check it out.

A good website to get good information about good books.

Thanks for creating that kind of service. I enjoy reading a lot and often it requires first to know what people say about the book. Thank God for finding good resource such this. It opens many thoughts about any interesting or upcoming book

This is one of the best book libraries on the planet!!!

I really enjoy this site. Good community of readers posting thoughtful comments that give you a good idea about whether to give a book a read or not. Given the price of books these days, it's worth a visit. You also get news and promos from authors or publishing labels you are interested in. I'm all for something that gets people interested in - and buying - books.

I've heard that publishing and/or PR companies send unsolicited ads trying to get you to try their authors but I haven't received any.

Goodreads is a wonderful site. I find the reviews there are more trustworthy than the ones on Amazon. In addition, the site can be good for making connections and finding out about events and author interviews. My only complaint is that they primarily link to B&N and do not promote buying books through independent sources like IndieBound or Powell's.

I am an avid user of this site and I love it!

Fantastic site for following your favorite authors and finding more books to suit your personal taste. Easy to navigate and rate your books, and bookmark titles for future reading. Lots of helpful, thorough, reviews.

I have found this to be a really good websites. You have a good group of people who actually still read books. I find most of the reviews pretty open and honest and people's opinions are not overly criticized if someone disagrees. It is a good, honest place to discuss books.

After reading reviews of Goodread on SiteJabber, I paid a visit to the website. It is indeed a very good website for book lovers. It is going to be my preference for books now.

I pick my books after reviewing them on this website. It helps me a lot as I am very specific about my books.

I like this website. It helps me pick the best of the books.

I just jumped on this site and loving it! This is a must to check out, I am very happy to have found it!

This is the premier site for book lovers. I use this site to get recommendations for books and to keep track of the books I've read. Usually, the book recommendations are right on, I've found so many books this way that I now read over and over again.

Amazing, I got what I was looking for. Awesome experience, I shared some of my favorite books with my friends too. I have suggested this website to them. I am sure that they will like it

Anyone who reads can benefit from this site. After reviewing a few titles you are given personalized recommendations for books to read. It is a social atmosphere where you can add friends from Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter and Friends of friends.

There are a couple of ads here and there, but none so bad as to take away from the quality of the site. Great place to explore literature!

REASONS TO USE:
[1] You enjoy reading
[2] You would like recommendations on good books to read
[3] Minimal ads

REASONS TO LOSE:
[1] You don't know how to read

i just like it.its sooo cool

I've been using Goodreads for a few months, I encouraged family members to join giving us a venue to see what each is reading and how we like it. Far better than discussing who is the family black sheep of the month.

:::singsongy voice::: loooove it!!!! OMGosh!! I can keep track of the books I've read, what I want to read, what I thought of it and it recommends books for me based on what I like.. ::sigh:: I'm in love.. lol.. a book worm like me loves to have her sorting easy. The only down-side? (and it's prolly cuz of my pc or maybe the site is uber-large) it takes a bit to load pages. Anyhoo, I give it 5 stars!

Catera M. I would like to add that right now I'm unhappy with Goodreads cuz the loading time is RID-IC-ULOUS. ::sigh:: takes 10 minutes just to read a book's synopsis and another 10 minutes to go back to the search. Maybe it's full of people but when it is, i'm not a fan.

I've been reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer and decided to see what others might have to say about the book online. I came across Goodreads.com in my search and found it to be a great resource. Good to see that other sitejabber reviewers have also found it to be valuable.
