Is Goodreads.com any good?

Unread post

Hi,

I am curious about your experiences of this monster book site. Do you use it a lot? Has it helped you to find new good reads or has it helped you connect with others that have been valuable to you? Has it helped you with marketing?

Please share your thoughts!

Kind regards,

The Writer of The Furries & The Happy Club

I was found there by a radio show host who asked to interview me. She had seen my author profile and wanted to talk about my book. That was awesome. On the other hand, in response to a book giveaway, I had only one book winner respond with feedback. She gave my book only a 2 point rating, which was very disappointing since she had some nice things to say about it. So mixed reviews from me.

My book is about my successful journey to recognize and overcome a false sense of entitlement and how I have seen this challenge affect the lives of others.

I’ve found goodreads.com a very helpful site for both finding new books by authors I’ve read and some useful information in regards to writing. They also have interesting interviews with authors in their monthly newsletter. My novel, Green Power, received a very good review by a reader at Goodreads. You can look up my novel under the “Fiction Book Forum" on this site to see a copy of that review.
