Quick explanation: It's like Facebook, for books. You have you're profile and you can search books or authors and add them to 'read', 'currently reading' or 'want to read'. You can follow the authors (they have pages too) and you can be part of book circles. You can comment on books and rate them. You can create you're own specified book shelves (or categories if you wish, like genres) and add you're books to one of more of them. I love this so much! If you have friends on there you can see their updates and so on. And best of all!! The app version has a little scan device so you can scan the bar code with you're phone/tablet camera and it knows which book it is so you don't have to search it. Most of the time it even knows which addition it is so you get the cover you have. It's heaven. According to me anyways. It's a great way to see what you're friends are reading so you get suggestions!
In case you would like to add me. It's not very personal, except for details like the ones in the profile but you don't add pictures and status update like on Facebook or Instagram so it's quite safe I would say, or I wouldn't share this with you. I don't mind the world seeing what I read you see.
So, yeah, I had a go at it today again and I think I must have multiplied my to read list by two!!
