Can we be friends on Goodreads?
« on: October 17, 2012, 07:18 AM »
I'm told that the foundation of good writing is good reading and as an ardent bibliophile, I'm eager to see what you're all reading on a day-to-day basis.  Let's share Goodreads accounts and become friends there, as an additional resource to keep up-to-date with what's out there in the world right now?

I actually love GR - so fun to keep track of what I've read and what everyone else is reading.

There is a group of BB formed, Amber -

I'm a bit of a Goodreads newbie (still sussing it all out!) but I've joined the BB group and I'll add you all.

Hi, I am trying to do better about posting on Goodreads and reviewing rather than only doing stars  :hiding I just joined the BB group.
I'll be your friend if you be mine! :)

Thanks you guys! And don't read my reviews, they aren't well written--I'm learning how to do it! Mine end up coming out as thoughts about the story, and the stuff I love, and maybe a little about what I don't. Does anyone have a good review 'format' they like to use? I want to get better at doing this.  :)
