kahlanne Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Anyone here want to be my friend on goodreads.com? I am always looking for new reads even if it is outside of my usual likes. Most of my friends are not avid readers. Currently I am reading The Witch of Blackbird Pond, 1000 Gifts a Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Captive in Iran A Remarkable True Story of Hope and Triumph Amid the Horror of Tehran's Brutal Evin Prison. I have a few possible next read choices which include The Book Thief, Catching Fire, and Where the Moon Isn't. The first two are movings I want to see and the last isn't usually my typical read but I found intriquing. Anyway, would anyone like to be my friend? :party: I am Carol Long or kahlanne on goodreads.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'm not on Good Reads so I can't help you there. But if you listen to podcasts you might enjoy Books on the Nightstand. The two hosts work for Random House, though the podcast isn't a RH production; it's their hobby. It's all about books, authors, the industry. They have a section called Two Books We Can't Wait for You to Read where they talk about newer books they've enjoyed. I'm not too crazy about their Booktopia episodes but I really like listening to their regular episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'm on Goodreads... I can be you friend if you want. I have pretty eclectic tastes. I'm checking out some of the ones you listed too! But, you can look at most other people's lists. Say you find a book you *love*. And you read someone's review who also loves it. If you click on their name it should take you to their profile. Some people may have their's private, but I've found it to be few and far between. Anyway, just a thought.

kahlanne Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 I didn't realize you could look at their lists on goodreads. Thanks for the suggestion Debbi. I have been on goodreads sporadically for a while but am really just now getting really into using it to its fullest. Cinder, thanks for the suggestion. I am listening to one of the podcasts now about Southern Literature. One of the suggested books really caught my eye but is so out of my comfort zone that I know I would have never chosen it. I am not big on poetry but am ordering it asap.Without you I would have never even heard of it. Thank you. The book is Late Wife by Claudia Emerson. Hope I love it but even if I don't I am looking forward to stretching myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbuchina Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'll be your friend! Also, there are lots of us on the Book-a-Week thread that are on Goodreads. Stop by and share what you're reading there, too. I have found so many books that I would never know existed if I wasn't reading that thread. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbeym Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'm on Goodreads! I think I'm on there as bobbeym. Yes, I'm very creative with user names. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I am listening to one of the podcasts now about Southern Literature. The thing I remembered most about that episode was the way the woman said lit-a-ture. It really grated on me and I didn't enjoy the episode as much because of it. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hi Carol, I'm on Goodreads, too. I added you as a friend - it seems that we feel similarly about the books we've both read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I added you. Goodreads is a great way to add books to your TBR list, as is the WTM book a week thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
