Get a Goodreads Email Signature!

If people don't want it to show, I suppose they can just delete that part when they are composing the message.

Does this mean more email in my inbox?

So true! Or if you are reading a book about how to train your man or woman how to be a better lover....I bet they would love seeing that on the bottom of your email, esp. an email that goes out to their friends or parents!

I'm curious whether there's an option to show title instead of cover.

I assume this only works for people who compose, and read, email in HTML.

I agree D.G.

Thank you for sharing that, Meghan! I really hope it helps because it's such an awesome feature, in my humble opinion. Still working on the kindle app as opposed to using the browser.

I'm going to start emailing a ton of random people everyday just to show my books off, lol! xD JK, but it would be fun.

For heaven's sake!

Why would I do that.. one time, I shared a sexy story cover on facebook (in a way to tell my friends about it).. my mother saw it and almost had a conniption! O.o'

A lovely thought... but, NOT gonna happen with me.

This gave me a giggle! So true!

Thank you, Meghan.

I'm so thrilled it works on the apps and "desktop" which is what I usually use anyway and I get to show off the books I'm reading. Seriously, my opinion personally, I Love this feature.

No, no, no, no, I don't want this. The world already knows too much about me.

Okay, it's officially cool. I had to reply to an Amazon email and the first one showed which I just finished and I went back to that email and it's showing the last book I just added as "currently reading" which is by David J. Bell

I love it :)

Great. It works for Gmail perfectly well, but not in the Inbox for Gmail app. It simply comes out as plain text.

I know how you feel... :D

What about offering authors the possibility to show one or possibly all of their own books in the e-mail signature?
It's good publicity for the author and also publicity for Goodreads. A win-win situation!

Is there a version of this that works for posting on non-Goodreads forums? (Because there are plenty of threads to discuss what we're all reading already.)

I'm having problems with gmail. I've changed my 'currently reading' book a couple of times, but it's still showing up with my original 'currently reading' book on sent emails (not just emails that are being composed). Am I doing something wrong??

I also have a bug on gmail. It worked when I first set it up, but now that I've moved on from the book I was reading at the time of setup, it's not changing. I checked my "sent" messages to confirm since I know the "compose" window doesn't update but the "sent" is supposed to, and my signature is still stuck two books ago, both in the "compose" window and on the sent messages.

I have the same issue. In gmail, it shows the first book I was reading when I set up the signature, both in the "compose" box and in sent messages. I am several books past that now, and I do have a book on my "currently reading" shelf that this signature should be seeing.

I set up the signature using the directions provided by goodreads, using google chrome on a laptop, and I am still using google chrome.

I'm another who would be interested in the private profile option!

So, there's supposed to be a chunk of code to grab for this and add to your signature, right? Nothing shows up for me in the first box when I open this page: https://www.goodreads.com/user/edit?t...

Is this a page glitch? Or am I doing something wrong?

To clarify, the cover will appear the same in the composition portion of the email. However, when you send the email, the signature will update and the correct book will appear. Are you seeing the wrong book AFTER you've sent the email, or before?

Has this issue been resolved? Not only am I seeing the original book cover while composing, but my recipient sees the original book picture too.
But when you click on it, it takes you to goodreads and shows you the correct book (the latest under currently reading).

Has this feature been discontinued? I use gmail and this worked for awhile, but it is now stuck (on my view AND the view of recipients) on something from like two months ago.

The book cover is blurry and hard to read. Can this be corrected? When I make the book "medium" sized, it remains blurry.

I am having the issue that others have cited where my email signature is not automatically updating (using Outlook for Windows). I finished a book 2 days ago, it is no longer in my currently reading, but it is still showing up in the signature as currently reading. I saw this comment from a Goodreads moderator: "To clarify, the cover will appear the same in the composition portion of the email. However, when you send the email, the signature will update and the correct book will appear." I went and looked at my actual sent emails and they too were still showing the old book.

Is the signature not working anymore? All I see now is a blank space. It used to show the book, but it doesn't anymore. Is anyone else having this issue?
