Do you have friends on goodreads? That's the best way to use it. Lists are for fags unless they are niche ones like "Best books by Author X"

I use it to track what I have read and what I want to read.
I used to write this down in notebooks, but it is a hell of a lot easier and more convenient using Goodreads.

You follow certain individuals, either pretentious shits on here or booktubers or certain authors you respect. Then you watch what they are reading/rating. Its not a fucking literary review.
