I've found Goodreads incredibly useful for discovering books and keeping track of them. Def need to read between the lines with reviews, esp. if there is a polarizing topic like mentioned in the article (glorifying Russia with ongoing Ukraine conflict). I recently read a book about Francisco de Orellana's exploration of the Amazon River in the 16th century - many reviews upset that the author wasn't using every other word to call the Spanish evil conquering colonists.
- Brybry 3y agoSame, especially if you tend to read books by the same authors. Before Goodreads it was a huge pain to know when authors you liked were releasing new books. And being able to track all the books in a series is really nice too. I have noticed that Goodreads has gotten worse in this regard though. My to-read list with future books often lacks release dates (even years) now.
