Do I really hate Goodreads?
With the month of March (especially the Ides) now past, I am looking at the two other cautions that arrived on Goodreads. Two announcements and updates to the rarely invested in site were announced, 1) Want to Read Shelf listed as “Your Books” and 2) the DNF or Did Not Finish Shelf. As an author of above average books, there are already enough readers who mark my releases as "did-not-finish", "dnf", "abandoned", "unfinished," "didn-t- finish" or "dropped." Being better organized to do this sounds like a large list of reasons not to love my books (which you really should love my books.)
The Want to Read Shelf I can see as an aid to remember to purchase my books (which you really should) after you’ve saved your pennies or finished donating plasma.
As an author, how do you plan to talk about and leverage Goodreads new “Want to Read” and “Did Not Finish” features? Please leave your thoughts and ideas.
