Good Reads = Awesome Website

Tonight I was with a friend in a bookstore. I was not tempted to purchase anything because I have several books I’m reading now and a few on hold at the library. My current reading list is full.

For some people, selecting the next book can be frustrating. There are so many options and nearly as many recommendations. What to do?

As a reading addict, I mostly rely on Good Reads. It’s a website (www.goodreads.com) that allows you to record books you’ve read (including ratings, dates, and more) as well as see what your friends are reading. Between what Good Reads recommends for me based on my reading history and the recommendations of friends, in addition to my addiction to reading mystery series (and tracking it through Good Reads), my reading list is nicely tightened up.

So for some, the following photo might be what you see when you walk into a library to make a selection.

However, with Good Reads, you might be able to see each book individually and make your selection easily.

Best reading wishes!

Books are my Candy

Sweets. Candy. Chocolate. Jaw breakers. Licorice. Lemon drops. Peppermint patties.

Candy entices many people. They long to enjoy that sugar buzz or the flavor of a dark chocolate candy bar with a gooey caramel center. Perhaps the bitter and sweet taste of gummy candies.

The love I hear of candy, expresses well how I feel about books (most candy does not interest me). Don’t I mean reading? No, I don’t. I enjoy getting into a book more than I enjoy magazines, online articles, or the newspaper. A book to me is as luscious and enticing as chocolate is to most people.

Mysteries. Biographies. Humor. Oh my! Give me a Lorna Landvik tale or a Janet Evanovich adventure. Oh, a sweet mystery by Joanne Fluke, JoAnna Carl, or Diane Mott Davidson. Then there’s kitty cat sleuths with Rita Mae Brown or Miranda James. Delicious!!!
