Goodreads: A Way To Track Your Reading

If you’re like me, you’re probably doing lots of reading during this quarantine. I love to read, and although I read nightly, my time to read for pleasure is limited. Before quarantine, I averaged an enjoyable book a month.

Now, I am reading much more! I am soaking up any reading material I can get my hands on, and working on my lists of books I’d like to read. The best way. to keep track of all of this is Goodreads.

Goodreads is a “social cataloging website that allows individuals to freely search its database of books, annotations, and reviews. Users can sign up and register books to generate library catalogs and reading lists. They can also create their own groups of book suggestions, surveys, polls, blogs, and discussions.”

I use Goodreads to keep track of books I’ve read, books I want to read, and the books I am currently reading. It is a great way to build up lists and keep things in one place. You can even scan a bar code to add a book.

I also use it for the reading challenge, a fun way to keep track of how many books you’ve read during the year. You can see how you’re doing with progress, and what your friends are reading!

Do you use Goodreads? If not, now is a great time to start if you’re reading more. We should be friends too!
