Jason Oliver | 3046 comments I found this neat feature in Goodreads.

If you go someone's profile where you have the option to add them as a friend, there is a "more" link with a drop down selection. Here you can choose "compare books" I've used this feature many times when looking at other from PBT.

But in the top right, after clicking on "compare books" there is a "book compatibility test" link. If you click on this, it will break down your compatibility score on different genres based on how you have rated the same books.

Thought I would share.

Barbara M (barbara-m) | 2594 comments Thanks for sharing, I have to go check that out. Missed it completely and I, like you, often use the compare books feature.

Barbara M (barbara-m) | 2594 comments I just went to that feature and its actually a bit weird. I did a compatibility with a PBT friend I have good "compares" with and, in the list of books, there were some I ranked and it had a blank at the ratings. I was completely surprised. I went back and checked to see if somehow I didn't rate them but I had. Then I saw the edit feature, did some editing and still found no rating. Plus Facebook kept popping up expecting me to share it on FB. Did you have the same experience?

I did not have this same experience. When I compare me and you, it says 77% compatibility.

Are you on your phone or computer. I am using a computer.

On my computer. I don't like GR on the phone or tablet. Glad to see we are so compatible!
