I Spend Way Too Much Time On Goodreads

A few months ago, I discovered Goodreads (the social network for book lovers (I accidentally spelled that "ook lovers" which I think is something entirely different. Anyway --)). I read in one of those "How to Make Money By Publishing eBooks on Amazon Kindle" publications that joining Goodreads and the Goodreads Author Program could help sell lots of eBooks.
Well,I haven't sold lots of copies of my eBook, Not the New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (last count: 15) but I have spent many a fun hour goofing around on Goodreads. I like writing book reviews. Why -- I have no idea. Probably because I had to do so many as a kid in school that I can't live without doing them.
Best book review I've ever read is this one for Shel Silverstien's The Giving Tree by Sava Hecht:
"Co-dependent tree needs to set some fucking boundaries."
GENIUS!
Anyway, here's my profile at Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3373419.Rena_Sherwood
