Yes, I'm on Goodreads. I'm just a 'newby', still trying to find the time to do all the reviews. It's great fun doing them, though. I'd be happy to friend anyone who enjoys historical fiction and crime novels. I can also get stuck into the odd fantasy novel as well.

I joined Goodreads awhile ago and then lost interest. I don't even know if I can remember my username. I should find out ;)

Wow, I didn't realize there were so many other people on GoodReads. Outside of GoodReads friends I only know one person who uses it sometimes.

I feel like everyone on Goodreads is a super reviewer or something. It's nice to know there are just normal people there as well.
You guys are normal, right?

I love Goodreads it helps me find out what to read next and keep track on the books that are coming out. I joined about a year ago and I visit the page constantly!

I used to be on it, but quit because I had too many sites I was a member of and had to dwindle the number because it took too much time. So, um, no.
I love to read!

My top 3 fave books:
1. Phantom of the Opera- Gaston Leroux
2. Phantom- Susan Kay
3. Speak- Laurie Halse Anderson

I love goodreads. I go there daily to check new reviews, add new books to read, and keep track of my reading. I am here:

I've been a member on goodreads since 2011, but only started using it socially this year. I'm listed as Jamie Barringer (Ravenmount) on there. I've added in all the books I've read this year to my 'read' shelf on goodreads, but I haven't added all the books from previous years yet, a project I work on when I get bored.

I don't think I would ever be able to add all the books that I have read prior to this year. I tried it a little, but only the major ones. I couldn't even keep track of all of those. Arg! Should have joined sooner or been more diligent at adding my books!

I joined two years ago this month. I have not been able to add most books that I have read in the past. Heck I can't remember most books from 5 or more years ago, lol. Just start adding your new books and your list will grow. From that goodreads will give you recommendations :D

Ditto!

I just add the new books I have read. It is too much work to add all the books I have read before joining.
