W | 34 comments Goodreads is pretty addictive.Since discovering it,I no longer read as much as I used to.

Kirsten  (kmcripn) Reading


message 3: by Barbara K (new)

Barbara K In terms of total time, much more reading. But along with its other fine qualities, I find that dipping into Goodreads fills those gaps when I don’t have time to get into a book or when I’m in the company of others.

Reading first and life , and goodreads second, but still fun


message 5: by Mark (new)

Mark (mark-s) Reading for me. I have been using Goodreads for several years now, but I never really have spent much time here & when I am I usually just read through interesting topics in the community.

W | 34 comments I write a lot of reviews.Many of my GR friends,write excellent reviews,and I like reading them.Keep discovering new books,new friends,and poetry quotes on GR.All this,does take a fair bit of time.

Christine Indorf | 1814 comments Both. If I have to choose I read probably more. I just signed up for new pages and I just can’t keep up. Goodreads can be overwhelming at time!!

Sarah B | 1532 comments Reading. Although I do spend time writing to friends on here, doing group activities and writing reviews...plus keeping track of my reading goals like books read, the Popsugar challenge, my around the world challenge, etc. But I do spend more time reading. If I didn't I wouldn't complete my goals! I think this month alone I read 22 books?

Erika Torres (hp2075) | 1 comments Reading. I utilize Goodreads to keep track of my reading goals.

Aditya | 1631 comments Usually reading like most of the other commenters. However I log in here more frequently when the book starts to drag.

Tammie Tackett reading


message 13: by Christine (new)

Christine Indorf | 1814 comments I love my time on Goodreads but I read a whole lot more. But I do love this site!!


message 14: by Pamela (new)

Pamela Mclaren | 33 comments Depends on the day but I hope its more on reading that Goodreads but I have found myself checking things daily — sometimes two or three times a day looking at the threads and checking my lists of books I want to read and have read — on Goodreads.


message 15: by Kandice (new)

Kandice | 2061 comments Definitely reading, and while I do long on to GR at least once a day, I feel it has allowed me to choose books I end up enjoying more. I read friends reviews, and if those I share interests with didn't care for it, I usually put a book on the back burner. This allows me to actually enjoy what I do read a bit more than I did before GR.

Thanks Christine


message 17: by Marie (new)

Marie Kind of a balancing act for me - I spend time on Goodreads a little bit in the morning and a little bit in the evening, but I also read later in the evening too. I do a lot of night time reading and sometimes middle of the night reading depending on my insomnia. lol

I normally would say both reading first then on goodreads but lately have been in a reading slump :( so goodreads. I am finding a lot of books are just not good and time is valuable don't want to waste and my Life would always be number one.

Franky | 231 comments Definitely reading but love to hear opinions and voices about books I love or do not love, whether I agree or not, so I'm glad to see posts on Goodreads about this.


message 20: by Paula (new)

Paula Adams (goodreadscompadams57) | 1590 comments Goodreads lately. I've been in a great deal of pain and can't concentrate on reading. I have 2 books going and I'm luck if I can get a chapter or 2 done a day. Here I can chat with people and find more books that I want to read.

I'm here more than reading at the moment. My reading is very slow going. Definitely a mojo thing!


message 22: by ⭐Toonasa⭐ (new)

⭐Toonasa⭐ •Romance Book Lovers' Haven• (toonasalovesbooks) | 33 comments I'm more reading, atleast 5 hours daily. I'm maybe 1-2 hrs on goodreads


message 23: by Amy (new)

Amy Young (authoramyyoung) | 6 comments I'd say I'm about half and half - an hour on Goodreads and an hour reading. I wish I could do more of both!


message 24: by Donne (new)

Donne | 63 comments Definitely reading! However, I will say that my time on GR has definitely been increasing over the past year or so. I probably average about 20-30min a day during the week and a little more, maybe 30-40 a day on the weekends. Depending on my workload during the week, I will read 2-3hrs a day and depending on my plans on the weekend, probably about the same or a little more.
