Found you under Mrs Maclean Susan and have sent a friend request! Got you Mary! name changed to janetandjohn (I hope) EDITED TO ADD - Nope! not janetandjohn. I appear to be Susan Maclean because I took the "Mrs" out. Added janetandjohn somewhere, but it does not appearso no idea how that happened..... need to find my way around that new site, don't I? Regardless of what you are calling yourself, I should point out that you have your wishlist books also listed as "read" so you'll need to change that (better now while there are only 4.....)

I'm sure you will get used to goodreads Susan. Still feeling somewhat bereft as I have no RISI morning fix of seeing what books have been added. I did join the Facebook Random book swap this month and have received a Persephone book complete with book mark. I am waiting for mine to arrive - hope I like it

I joined Goodreads some years ago but haven't used it in ages. However, since the swapping site went down, I've had several friends requests for Goodreads, which I have accepted, so as soon as I have time I will have another look at it and upload my wishlist.

I've just created a wishlist shelf on Goodreads - it currently stands at one but I'll sort that shortly. Thanks for the advice on how to do it posted here and some of you will find a friend request from me as I've just put in a few!!

Some tips for those of you who are just signing up to Goodreads and don't know where to begin...
The android app is very basic and has very little on it compared to the desktop site (I believe the ios app is a bit more sophisticated but I'm not a apple user so can't say more). Also I link my GR account to my Facebook page and when I review a book it should appear on my FB timeline. However, if I do this on the app there is no FB update, only if I do it from the desktop site.
If you want to attempt to list all of the books you've read in the past, if you have a spreadsheet with any of this sort of history on I believe you can upload from it. If not then I found the easiest way to remember books was by thinking of an author, searching for their books and then looking at the list remembering which I had read. You can put a guess in of when you read them or just put the same year for everything. Beware of the "date read" though because if you want to take part in any challenges they work on the date read so make sure for books you've read this year you put the correct date in.

I've also linked my GR to Amazon, so all kindle & book purchases can be swept over at the touch of a button .. so much easier than adding one by one ..

The iOS app is really good now, well in my experience anyway, I use it most days and use it a lot more than the desktop site. ETA nice to see more of you on there, think I've added everyone...
