I plan on using Goodreads to organize books I have read for instructional as well as personal purposes. I may decide to join a discussion group. I will use the book recommendations to find other books I may be interested in reading. Students can use it for the same purpose. For example, if they like The Dark is Rising, they may also want to read A Wrinkle in Time. Students are required to read 25 books independently each school year; so, Goodreads is a wonderful way for students to log, share, rate, and write a review for each book they have read. (This would beat collecting reading logs every week, for sure!) We could even have online literature circles if we started a group!
