I found a way to coddle my reading addiction!

Yes, it's true. My name is Beverly and I'm addicted to books!

I was invited to join the site Goodreads by an author whom I did a book review for and low and behold.. I'm now in heaven!

If any of you are members of goodreads please add me as a friend!

If you haven't checked it out.... there's no cost, it's not a get rich quick scheme but just a site to share books you've read, find books you'd like to read and basically feed our addiction to reading in general!!!!!! You can also write up a review of the books you've read and rate them on a 5 star scale!

There's also a great area for authors to get your books out there!

And don't miss their section to win books, some that are already published, some in the process of being published. They have quite the selection!

Join me

Check out my reading list on Goodreads - where you can see what your friends are reading.

http://www.goodreads.com/friend/i?i=LTM2MDU0Njc4NzA6MzUx%0A

I've already listed over 200 books I've read and have a zillion more I'm sure. In the meantime I've found another 20+ to add to me TBR list! LOL

Sounds like a very very cool site, but I really do not have time to do this (bummer). Everyday, I stop whatever I am doing aroudn the house so I can read for about an hour before working at 4 p.m. Then I also read once I get in bed.

Oh A.F.!!!!! Not MORE great sites for readers?! LOL

It's a great site!

Interesting site. I may check into this since I love to read, but don't know that I have the time to properly spend on the site.

Hi Beverly. Had I known that you are a reader of books I would have told you about the Goodreads site a long time ago. Send me a friend request here and at Goodreads. And, if you're looking for a different reading experience, check us "Littluns" out at http://www.littlunsblog.com Littluns is NOT a kids book.

Hi New Friend!! I love to read and am currently reading 3 different books - 1 at work, 1 in the evenings and 1 at in between times.

I recently found out that if you work in the City of St. Louis, just take your paystub and you can get a library card at no cost even if you live in IL. I'm loving this!!!!

Congrats on being person of the day

Hello Beverly P.,

I just wanted to say I am finally going through what is now under 6,400 pieces of gather new mail that is in my inbox on here. So with that in mind I have finally come to a piece of mail that was addressed to me in regards this article submission you have created to share with the gather community. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your piece with us here at gather. :o)
