Summer is approaching and the Summer Reading Lists are starting to pour in.

I would love to share my own but won’t . I shall leave that to the expert. And that is why I am sharing here 3 great ways you can use Goodreads to get a personalized reading list comprising your favorite genres and interests.

Why Goodreads you ask?

Well, it is the place for readers to be.

With over 90 million users way back in 2019 itself, the site boasts of about 4 million users on its 2021 reading challenge alone. As for the number of books catalogued on their site, they were bought by Amazon in 2013, so their site has become more powerful with each passing year. All books available on Amazon get automatically added, book discussions and book clubs are thriving with over 77900 groups already in existence. (These do not include the book clubs feature introduced in Amazon Kindle accounts.)

Naturally then, search results for books and book recommendations is what the site does best, so why not check out these methods?

Without further ado, then, let’s dive right into what those methods are.
