Book Communities Online - Goodreads, Shelfari etc

[RikuStark]

I have a Goodreads account! I like it because I can keep up with all of the sequels that I need to read. It's also a good place to see new releases, and some early reviews on books that aren't released for the public yet. I also like to keep track of the books that I read, so Goodreads have definitely helped with that.

I'm reviving this thread so we can keep in touch this way as well. I love my goodreads accoun and frequent it daily, you can find me under xhanax315. I know I have someone I you on there already, but for others who don't you can add me. I like to see what your all reading; and here is commenting and blogs there too.

That's a good idea. I have a goodreads but haven't used it really yet. I haven't had the time to transfer all of my books over from Shelfari, but I probably will this summer. If anyone wants to add me on either Shelfari or Goodreads, I'm freelantzer on both of those as well.

I've added you all on Goodreads. If I can figure out my shelfari account, then I'll add you too, but I don't frequent there much anymore.

I was curious what people thought about Amazon taking over goodreads. I think it was a smart business decisions for Amazon but I fear it might ruin the site

Why do you think it would ruin the site?

I have a Shelfari that I just use to keep track of my reading. I haven't changed over because dang! I don't wanna have to transfer over all of my books and data one at a time. The only reason I was glad to see Amazon buy goodreads was because I hoped I could transfer everything with one click--but I realize that is unlikely.

Oh no, when did this happen? This was the reason I left Shelfari...hopefully it doesn't irk me like it had before.

I love goodreads. The iPod app is perfect, if anyone has a device that can support the app, you should check it out!

I love the iPhone app, which allows you to scan books that'll bring up the exact edition you're reading. I sent you a request by the way.

I read some concerns that Amazon might start censoring or otherwise manipulating unfavourable reviews so they are buried towards the end of the pile in order to keep the book's sales up. I have no idea how realistic of a concern that is though.

Thanks! I accepted. The scanning feature is awesome. I was having way too much fun with it when I first discovered it. I started scanning books on my bookshelf for no reason.
