If you're a Goodreads author, you can blog there. If you have enough followers for it to matter, blogging might get some people to actually buy the book and read it. Just don't make it all about promotion. You might consider posting excerpts in the blog every now and then. Approaching people about it? Don't do it. It's a readers' site, not an author's site, so be discreet.
Turning To Be Reads on Goodreads into Currently Reading

Thanks, this is good stuff. I feel a bit foolish, I'm not even sure if I loaded a sample of my book at all. Going to do that now. Thanks!
Charm - will do.
Actually, I'll go full throttle and turn on the smarm.

I have 2600 books to be read on Goodreads.
Sometimes the reason I move something up is cumulative. Meaning, I put the book on TBR for a reason. So when I see someone talk about that book later, I look it up and realize its already on my TBR, it might have a higher chance to be moved up. Because I am thinking there was a reason I put in on the list in the first place. So ads and recommendations and things like that might not pay off right away, but something might get stuck in the brain from having seen it before, or noticing the title sounds familiar.
But I would think considering there are how many books out there? Just making it on someones TBR list would be quite an accomplishment.

I actually reached the max allowed on the Netflix watchlist some years ago. . I don't know if they still have a max, but the page loaded really really slow and I got a popup I think saying I needed to take some stuff off first. Can't remember the number now, 500? Something like that.
Its not slow like that anymore, so maybe they fixed that.
But yeah, there are so many choices out there for everything. Not just books. Just going to the grocery store now is an exercise in brain hurt.
We have so many more channels now on the TV, yet we say more times that we have nothing to watch. I always found something when we only had 3 channels.

Well, you can make 4 profiles of 500 movies each at Netflix on one account!Atunah said:I actually reached the max allowed on the Netflix watchlist some years ago.
