I have a bad memory for titles and authors combined with the fact that I read A LOT, so I love having a place to note them all down.

I could've lent you a hard hat. ;-)<br /><br />I love GoodReads. I've found a lot of books that way (by seeing what my friends are reading), and I do try to leave reviews for those I love. <br /><br />As for the twitter panel, that is a huge disappointment. For me, Twitter has been a great learning experience. To me, it's one big conversation. I would've been interested to know about some other strategies/insights. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!Ali Trottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786367680085861585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-47944018257602960162012-06-04T21:54:09.574-04:002012-06-04T21:54:09.574-04:00Thank you for the GoodReads lowdown!Thank you for the GoodReads lowdown!Lucas Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405530729663443670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-35319630290636440692012-06-04T21:51:17.077-04:002012-06-04T21:51:17.077-04:00Am picturing (vividly) JR protecting her seat with...Am picturing (vividly) JR protecting her seat with hostile vibrations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07409120197594051319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-19441944483123984522012-06-04T21:49:58.648-04:002012-06-04T21:49:58.648-04:00Thanks for the report, Janet.
