Boy, was I wrong! I have been a member of Goodreads for only a few days and I am already spending way too much time browsing new books and finding books that I had forgotten I read. I was also surprised to find that I have A LOT of friends on Goodreads. Several friends from years ago that I don’t talk to on a regular basis, but also several friends that I talk to all the time. I think the biggest surprise was finding out that my Mom’s profile photo is a picture of me in an old Halloween costume wearing a Mumu and a purple wig. Turns out I’ve been missing out on this incredible world!
As I was browsing books on a list titled “Books Everyone Should Read At Least Once”, I loved being able to click on a book that seemed interesting and see the many reviews given by my friends. I’ll be honest. I judge books by their covers all of the time. If the cover looks boring, I tend to have an immediate aversion to the book. My friends’ reviews of these seemingly boring books have helped me want to look past the cover and see what I can find within the pages. Now, I only wish I had the time on my hands to read, read, read! I have realized that I am way behind on the number of classical literature books that I have read. Gotta play catch up!
I look forward to exploring the many adventures that Goodreads has to offer. I sense an addiction coming on…
Hahahaha, that picture is the greatest. Your mom is obviously a rockstar. I am so with you, Jenna, this might become an addiction. I am a little bit scared to get sucked in, to be honest! I don't have the time to have an obsession with this!
ReplyDeleteGuys I totally agree with you. I am having a hard time moving on to do my other homework because Goodreads is soooo addicting. I agree with you because I have a ton of classics to catch up on too!
ReplyDeleteHahaha your mom had that as her profile picture? I should be her friend I think.
