Fishface | 18848 comments I just thought I'd share this because someone told me about it on Goodreads Feedback. I was complaining that although there is a "genre" button you can click under the general search box, it doesn't work much at all. Specifically for TC, it invariably says "BOOK NOT FOUND -- would you like to search by ISBN?" So you're stuck with searching for books you already know the title or author of, not new titles under your favorite genre. However:

https://www.goodreads.com/shelf

This not only lists the most popular shelf tags, but if you type the genre you are looking for in the search box (like typing in "true crime"), it gives you a crowdsourced list of the most popular titles that have been tagged TC.

This is still pretty unsatisfying if you are just looking for all the TC titles in the Goodreads database. But it's a little something.
