Despite being a member of a vast and well-stocked 70-year old community library, I found it difficult to chance upon books that appealed to my interests.

I deeply missed the joy of discovering a new author, the excitement of reading a new book and the promise of a new literary adventure.

Until I found ‘Goodreads’.

‘Goodreads’ is an app that recommends new tomes based on the books you have read and reviewed. What I like most about “Goodreads’ is the accurate descriptions, they are succinct and yet tell you all you need to know. The reviews by fellow book lovers also help you decide if a particular book is the one for you. What’s more you can even check it’s availability on Amazon.com and order your copy right away. Or if you have access to an impressive library, like I do, add the book to your ‘To-Read’ section and retrieve the information when necessary.

Try it here – Goodreads for Android and iPhone.

On my ‘To-Read’ List are ‘The Girl on the Train‘ and ‘The Introvert’s Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World‘, What’s on yours?
