Ok, I'll admit it. I really wasn't looking forward to signing up for Goodreads. I remember thinking:
"Oh boy, this site definitely isn't worth my while."
As well as:
"I will literally never use Goodreads after the end of the semester."
HA! I was mildly wrong, to say the least.
Now, an hour and a half later after I've started adding books to my bookshelf, I really can't stop. I. Can't. Stop. I probably look something like this:
The short story is yes, I have gone mad! Mad with excitement. One of my favorite parts (so far) has been browsing book titles that I had loved but forgotten about. I absolutely adore YA literature, so it has been super fun for me to find books that I read and loved in middle school and add them to my shelf in a hopes of re-reading them in the near future (hopefully).
As a college student, I have been out of the reading-for-pleasure mode for a while now. I just haven't found the time lately to sit down with a good book. I think part of the reason is I haven't had a clue what to read! Most of my friends are, as you probably can guess, college students as well, so they're not doing a lot of reading either, which is difficult for me because I usually rely a lot on book recommendations from friends. I am excited to be able to browse the different titles and select new books.
Well, if you need me, I'll probably be using Goodreads and forgetting to eat dinner, or something.
