I agree! Authors do seem to be more inclined to communicate with readers through twitter. Which is funny since they are probably used to writing stories with tens of thousands of words in them. Although, it's probably more for convenience than anything.

I used it for catalog my books, but now we have our own bookshelves to keep truck of books.
You can post here unofficial reviews as well by the way.

I don't personally use Goodreads because I find that there are way too many book snobs and those who are overly critical in a manner that conveys they don't really get enjoyment from reading in the first place. It's hard to trust a critical review on Goodreads; I far prefer the reviews here as they are more honest and genuine. The reviewers and regular posters seem to simply enjoy books and the reading thereof more.

I would really love it if Onlinebookclub made an app like goodreads, I would use it everyday! I'm all about convenience, because I travel a lot.

Our Shelves are pretty new, so we don't have that many books on them yet. Given time, we will catch up.TeaAndSpooks wrote:I LOVE goodreads!

My Shelves on goodreads are about 250 more than on here because books are easier to find (I've only ever had to add one book that wasn't already in their database) and I don't have to go in and edit genre's or add covers because they already have everything available.

I believe Scott, the web-master, is working on building the app.

I've added quite a few books myself, and I don't mind doing it when I have the time!
oooooooo, that's exciting news! I look forward to it!
