    For those asking: GoodReads is ONLY a social network, and is NOT an app that you read books on. My apologies if that wasn’t made clear in the video.

    I created a BOTB (Best of The Best) for my favorite read books. Extra shelves made are like tags / labels that you can add to the book besides having it in the Read shelve.

    Nicely done! 👏🏻 I tend to use Goodreads as a _log_ for what I'm currently reading as well as for what I have already read. 🙄 It's not quite as clunky as it was when I first joined and I hope Amazon will continue to make improvements. Thanks for sharing. 📚

      I’m the same way! I don’t really participate in the social aspect of it, but I do like that I can keep track of all the books I’ve read and some books I want to read.
      And yes! Hopefully they will continue to make improvements!

    Huh, that was interesting. I have a GR account but I don’t do anything with it. I always found it easier to google a book than navigate GR on my computer. But, I now see the utility of it for tracking books. I’ll download the app tomorrow and start using some of those features you mentioned.

      @Rebeca Reyna Goodreads is a online platform to track books you want to read. You can also create other "folders" to organize books better. However, goodreads does not offer free books. You have to buy them. There should be a link under each book that provides options for you to buy the book. Is that what you are asking?

    • @dylancanread
      @dylancanread  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can! The way you add books is by changing the dates read on the books page. Once you add the date you finished the book it will automatically add it to your challenge (assuming you read them this year). Hope that helps! 😁

    I'm really leery about adding an app like that. I had my son open a Facebook acct. for me to listen to a presentation on something I had bought, so I listened to the presentation & promptly forgot about it. The next day I had HUNDREDS of friend requests!! I was totally overwhelmed and had my son immediately delete it. So I don't think I'll ever be on any kind of social platform. Love watching UTube though. 😊👍🐾
