Good Reads

LessThanZero

Heyyy...

I finally signed up for good reads and I now have the link in my siggy. I know nates and Starmusica are on it but if anyone else is, feel free to friend me and let's be weekly reading nerds together, mmkay?

NatesGirl16

DId you friend me?

Oh, and everyone should feel free to friend me, too.  I love book recs.

LessThanZero

No, I figured I'd just put this up and whoever had the good reads could friend me. I'm lazy like that.

NatesGirl16

Lazy beyotch.  (AND lovely beyotch :P).  I added you.  This is less pressure than FB, where I have requested exactly two KNotties and everyone else requested me.  I'm afraid of rejection.

I love good reads!  How did you get the link for good reads in your siggy?  I've been trying to figure it out forever. 

LessThanZero

Brilibby - Click the widgets tab and then scroll down and choose the one that looks like mine. That's a terrible explanation, but I tried.

Is this kind of like the virtual bookshelf on FB?

LessThanZero

You are approved, Nates.

LessThanZero

B- Yes. it's kind of cool. You can write reviews, get recommendations and chat about it with friends or start a book club. You should totally join.

LTZ, added.

I've got to get better at adding my books. I've got over 300, I think I've added 80.

Eeeeeeteresting.  The Virtual Bookshelf on FB taught me one thing.  I suck at reviews.  I get to "This book was good."  or "This book was terrible." and then I get writer's block ;)

I'll have to look into it.

You're my only knottie FB friend for the same reason. I'm insecure.

Also, what exactly is this good reads dealy?

It doesn't have to be on FB, though, which I like.  Yo ucan link it through your FB if you want.  I only have Knotties on my goodreads.

Alright, you sold me.

I had a feeling there was a post about this, based on the HUGE (2) influx of requests I just got.  Ha.

It would take me forever to add all our books in.  Maybe when we build the "library" and are transferring things from the crappy Walmart book case.

That sounds cool, but I haven't been doing much reading lately. I think it might make me feel guilty about one more thing I should be doing.

Steph0871

pick me! pick me!

LessThanZero

Alli and Steph, I added you.   : )

allisong23

Yay!

LessThanZero

Alli, we have a lot of book choices in common.  : )

I'm excited that you love David Sedaris. When I read all of his essays I would lay in bed and cry laughing sometimes. I want to re-read a bunch of them now.

allisong23

Did you see him on the Daily Show last week?

Y I Oughta

So from reading this I think I find that Good Reads is a site like facebook for books? I think I might need to get into this.

Do you keep track of the books you read on there?

LessThanZero

Alli, unfortunately no. I find it hard to stay up that late most of the time.

YIO - It's very similar to the facebook one except it doesn't have to be on facebook. You can add all the books you've read or the ones you want to read and rate and review them. Then you can compare with friends and get suggestions.

Starting at the 6:00 mark, he tells this awesome joke. It is only about a minute long.

I've approved the couple of you who added me so far.  The rest of you: feel free to click that link in my sig
