Goodreads...um.

If you're a reader, you're probably familiar with Goodreads. If not, it's social media for book-lovers. Word on the street is that if an author wants to connect with readers and become an AUTHOR, he or she must have a robust Goodreads presence.

I like the idea behind Goodreads.

BUT...

I read books because I adore books. Reading is an addiction. Once I start, it's hard to stop. When I finish a book, I troll for the next read. If I don't have a book on my Kindle, life is NOT okay. I am not okay.

Must. Have. BOOKS.

What I don't do is keep track of what I read. I don't do challenges. I just...read. And that's how I like it.

How many books do I read in a year?

I dunno. Does it really matter?

Does a lot count?

The idea of scanning, tracking, listing give me hives. I prefer to do things organically. In the moment. Which makes using Goodreads a struggle. For me personally, it takes the fun out of reading. For others, it makes it fun. Probably all the left-brained super organized types find Goodreads joy in and of itself :) I love you guys.

But I'm not you.

If you follow me on Goodreads, and I hope you do, keep your expectations low. I may forget it exsists for months at a time. I will do my best to share books I love. If I remember to post a book I'm reading, I'll do it. But it won't be every book. It won't be everyday.

Also, Goodreads isn't easy to learn to use-especially the author side. So be patient with me.

If you do follow me, follow DJ Gudger, not Darcie J. Gudger. That's my old profile. I can't link it to my new writing endeavors. It's just the way the app is set up. To find me, search The Legacy of Rocking K Ranch. My author name is a link to my profile and you can follow me from there.

What I love about Goodreads is discovering that next book so I am never without something to read.

See you there!
