Does anyone have a page on Shelfari or Goodreads? I confess I have one on both, but I've been neglecting Goodreads for a while now. I started there and loved it! I added all the books I could think of, found some new interesting ones to read, and connected with a few friends. Then I was seduced by the flashy shelf widget of Shelfari and started adding books there, too. The only problem is, I don't really know anyone that uses Shelfari and so I don't have very many people to connect with there. Is it bad that I was seduced by the flashy graphics? I suppose I am judging the proverbial book by its cover! It does have great features as well. I'm starting to think I'll just keep up with both sites...but is that a waste of time?
Aside from the snazzy virtual bookshelves, both of these sites are terrific ways to connect with other readers, get a visual representation of the books you have read or want to read, and find new books! A few times, when deciding what book to post about, I've found my answer on Shelfari faster than I found a book on my physical bookshelves.
So, do you have books lists on either of these? If so, do you want to be my friend?? :)

I post on good reads. I forget to go there often and update. I didn't know about shelfari but the widget is cool for sure.
The widget is my favorite part of Shelfari, but I like other features they have too. I think I'm going to have to update both of them since so many people are on Goodreads. Is anyone else on Goodreads that wants to connect?
