Zaz | 2969 comments Welcome :)
Copy-paste this list to your plan: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Then complete it with the books you're interesting in. It will be easier for us to recommend books for the remaining categories!

Odie (odette_fraser) | 30 comments thanks zaz. any suggestions on how to copy paste that? im still new to goodreads and im having difficulty navigating this app. i dont find it user friendly. im so used to long pressing the words and the "copy" would appear in my kindle app. need help really bad as i dont normally use pc/laptop.

Zaz | 2969 comments Ah, on the app, you can't do it. Depending on which device you are, you can probably access Goodreads with a browser (Chrome, Safari, etc) and you'll have all the computer fonctions of the website, like the "edit" or "adding the link to the book" :)
I use the app only for the discussions and updating my readings, not for posting reviews or managing my challenges.
