I ignore the people who think it's Tinder).<br /><br />I'm more hesitant about following people on Goodreads. That could be because I'm on there as a reader and reviewer at the moment, and I get a lot of friend requests from people who seem more interested in collecting friends than reading books.<br /><br />I'm not interested in friending someone with 4,921 friends, 33 books, and the only book we've both rated is some bestseller they gave 5 stars and I gave 1. And, no, none of these friend requests are from people I've interacted with.<br /><br />I'm also wary because Amazon owns Goodreads, which means they can track who you're friends with. I prefer to follow authors I review, and friend readers and reviewers.

At the moment I've only used Goodreads to rate books but I'd like to do more with it, especially joining groups or having an author page (Once I've published a book!)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180214115228566442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122296933621146875.post-49400651910022647922018-07-18T03:52:31.869+01:002018-07-18T03:52:31.869+01:00I couldn't do any of this last year, because I...I couldn't do any of this last year, because I needed to have a book in order to get an author page.
