I wanted to give a good review I wanted to give a good review - but they have reviewers on their site who are offensive to other reviewers all the time, but get away with it because some 'like' their posts, and they actually review regularly. Very soon only those reviewers will be left because you can sense that others are fed up with being sworn at all the time if they disagree. If this is what Goodreads want, then OK - they can do without me.

I love Goodreads! I love Goodreads! They helped me find my new favorite books! -The Backrooms by Morgan Solis AND Yellow WallPaper A CLASSIC!!!!! I highly recommend it due to their community and underdog finds!

Useless I can't claim any of my books because someone with the same name as me already has a GoodReads account, so all books published under that name are automatically added to her profile. Since GoodReads are apparently so stupid they have no process at all for two writers having the same name.

bot reviews I have read reviews that are false; they bear little resemblance to the book I've been reading. I believe it's the result of some clever bot scheme. Here's the story of one of the reviewers who praised a pathetic, clumsily-written book: She posted 19 reviews today, Oct. 15th; She has posted 82 reviews in the past 5 days, which would average out to 5,986 books a year. She posted 209 reviews the day she joined Goodreads, and then took a year and 7 months off to catch up, then posted 108 books on one day, most of them not rated (?). What a story awaits the author who wants to pursue this reviewer!

Armchair Traveller The Third Grace, by Deb Elkink This is an amazing story and will take you from a primitive farm to the big city, and across the ocean, all from your easy chair. Deb's detailed story-writing brings the reader right on location with her extensive knowledge of what she's writing about and her descriptive prose. Whether it is scenery, customs, or foods, she nails it so well. The story encompasses many of today's twists and turns and subject matter. You don't want to miss this re-launch!
