My husband doesn't use any of Goodreads' other features and I think the "Currently Reading" feature updates automatically because it's linked to his Kindle account. It's just confusing because he reads very different books than I do so I'm sure it's confusing when people see what "I" am currently reading!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-88738788221030666882020-05-24T17:54:00.210-07:002020-05-24T17:54:00.210-07:00We had the same problem so I just put us both on t...We had the same problem so I just put us both on the same account.

I try not to read reviews before I read a book because I don't want my opinions to be tainted, but I agree that they are a good way to get a feel for a book overall. When I read reviews after I've read the book, I also find it super interesting to see how other people's opinions about the book jived or didn't jive with mine.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by, Donna!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-39871505420900140542020-05-21T19:51:08.433-07:002020-05-21T19:51:08.433-07:00Goodreads is where I go when I'm on a fence ab...Goodreads is where I go when I'm on a fence about a book I'm not sure I like...usually I can get a good feel for it from reading a few reviews!Donnahttps://donnasreadingchair.home.blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-50839652221260869672020-05-21T10:19:09.718-07:002020-05-21T10:19:09.718-07:00There are so many reasons, aren't there?

It is nice to be able to just quickly add a book to my TBR on my phone and soon I'm going to take a couple of hours and get my profile all sorted. <br /><br />We are opening up a bit more here too but other then getting my son's haircut (it was BAD) and a few other things we are staying home as much as possible.
