New Navigation Bar on Goodreads
UPDATE: the new navigation bar is now live for everyone on Goodreads! Thanks so much to those of you who filled out the survey—to those of you who haven't had a chance to do so yet, please be sure to fill out the survey to give us your feedback on the new experience!
Starting today, we're introducing a new navigation bar on the desktop site. With a more streamlined look, the new navigation makes it easier for you to get to all the features of Goodreads you love, search for books, and stay up to date with your messages and notifications.
This new experience will be rolled out over the next few weeks, so don't worry if you don't see it yet—it's coming!
The new navigation is designed to be clean and easy to read. It features a larger search box and adapts to the width of your screen, whether you're viewing Goodreads on a tablet or a desktop computer. If you're browsing Goodreads on a desktop computer, you'll also notice that it remains visible when you scroll down the page, keeping important links accessible at all times.
Under Browse, you'll find links to our popular Giveaways section (who can resist free books!), as well as New Releases, and author interviews and book recommendations in News & Interviews. The navigation also comes with a new spotlight on books from your favorite genres that are trending among the Goodreads community, helping you discover more great books to add to your to-read list.
Community is our new gateway to all things social on Goodreads. Find your Groups and discover new ones, see which authors are answering questions in Ask the Author, and test your knowledge with Trivia and Quizzes.
Once you have a chance to use the new navigation, let us know what you think of it via our survey.

Please make the list you see when you click "View all notifications" a longer list. This is ridiculously short.This used to be a much longer list, going back many days.

Or even just add it to the MY BOOKSHELVES section on the main page. Make it the top line of shelves. (Why is it not there already?)
Anything to avoid going to a new page, wasting time. Please.
I don't understand the need you have to make things harder rather than easier.
Either put it in the dropdown under the avatar, or ON THE MAIN PAGE under MY BOOKSHELVES.
Can we lose the sponsored book on the main page please?

If it helps, I just click on "My Books" and glance at the top left (just under "Bookshelves") where it says "all (#)". ."
Thanks, but it's still an extra click that takes you to a new page.
Whereas before you could just eyeball the dropdown under your avatar.
Seriously, why make this harder? Why not make it easier?
Please bring back the total books shelved (and whatever other number was there - was it # of friends?) right under the avatar.
