But it's sure a helpful feature when you're standing in the bookstore and trying to decide whether that book is worth $15 or not. I don't base my choices on ratings, but if a quick look at reviews shows some story elements I dislike, it's nice to find out before I buy...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-55616945620698586732011-10-23T18:16:52.235+11:002011-10-23T18:16:52.235+11:00BJ: Copying and pasting reviews sounds like a good...BJ: Copying and pasting reviews sounds like a good idea.

Definitely don't have time to write separate ones! :) <br /><br />It's a fun way to keep track of things. Oh - you have an iPhone, right? Be sure to get the Goodreads app - you can scan the barcode of books to add them to your library, or just to check reviews when you're out shopping. Love that feature! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-48550657322343502712011-10-23T09:19:51.760+11:002011-10-23T09:19:51.760+11:00Ninja Girl: Cool!

I started adding books, but doing that continuously got boring after a while, and I wasn't sure what else you were supposed to do there. I like looking at the 'Best X' lists, though - they're useful for choosing books for other people. But so far, I haven't got addicted. I agree, you'll have to tell us why it's so great!TGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832981435264804886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-77431703860751107332011-10-23T04:09:59.184+11:002011-10-23T04:09:59.184+11:00Yay!
