Okay, so this week the task felt like a chore I had to do. You know like how you have to eat all the yucky vege's on your plate to get to the desert??? Well thats kind of what it was like with Good Reads. Mainly because the website itself is blah! as in it's really quite boring with its colour scheme and effects (or lack of). However, this is a good website for all the book freaks out there. If you're nothing like me, and love to read anything given to you or suggested to you, then I guess having a Good Reads account and following others is the thing for you!
I was able to put in my 5cents with reviews on books that I've read and liked..... there was also the option of putting in books you would like to read and books which you are reading at this very moment. These are all good ideas if you have friends following you, but this is where I found this website a chore, I had to add peoples email addresses to get others to follow what Im doing and for me to follow them. Its hard enough for me to remember all my 2 email addresses, let alone remember 5 friends.
BUT, this website is quite a good one for those customers that are filling up our request shelves with romance books and also always asking "what other books would you recommend." The site could be a lil bit more user friendly OR elderly friendly??? Will def pass this website on to customers.... although... I can totally see myself spending another hour with them setting things up and familiarising them to the website.... is it really all worth it??? Only for some!
