Good-bye Goodreads, Hello BookLikes
Okay guys, secret's out, I'm special. As in Special Needs. Some things, that seem intuitive and easy for almost everyone I know, are mind-blowingly hard for moi. The list is long, but on it you'll find stuff like:
Making non-burnt and/or raw pancakes (cue the Green Acres music)Mowing a lawn (I tend to set the thingy too low, as my various husbands have pointed out over the years, and create bald spots)Tying pretty ribbons/bows/string-type embellishments on shit (But I do tie a mean knot)Folding fitted sheets (Not alone there...)Figuring out Goodreads
Now, I pride myself on being a somewhat early adopter (for my demographic) and I'm pretty up on the latest workarounds with various tech platforms, but, for some reason, the halls of Goodreads are long and dark and dim. Even without the Amazonian takeover, I have to admit, the site just, well, annoys me. It seems overly complex and unintuitive. Too many things don't connect well, and, for the love of God, I can't figure out how to make them stop sending me push texts when I comment on something.
Also, aesthetically, Goodreads is pretty blah. Okay, that was tame. It's pretty shitty, design-wise.
So, what to do? Well, the other day a colleague introduced me to this pretty little alternative, and, I gotta say, I'm liking it. For all the reasons the gal below points out.
What do you guys think? Btw, if you're checking it out, you can find me over there as suzy soule ya.
