HI, I am new here and a little lost. Is it possible to upload my Amazon reviews to the Goodreads site?

Havent heard of that myself so far..sorry couldnt be of any help..
I think the reviewer has to belong to Goodreads and upload it themselves. Otherwise we could all be a little creative, couldn't we? Like those people who unashamedly write their own amazon reviews - in their own names!!!
I don't think that is possible. I can also see that NOT being popular.

I did see one, but damned if I can find it now. I suppose it could have been a family member with a different amazon account... I remember thinking at the time, bloody cheek, and I did not buy the book.
I thought it was quite common for a reader to post the same review here as they do in amazon. And maybe their blog or wherever too.Luck, I suppose.
Though unlucky if a reader suspects it's a cheat and decides not to buy on the strength of it.
If you are an author you have to rely on the reviewer cross posting their reviews on each sites. I always put reviews on Goodreads and Amazon.co.uk but I admit I am lazy about putting them on to .com. It would be much easier if Amazon automatically crossed the reviews onto each site.
You can add your amazon purchases to your Goodreads account, but not sure if that includes the reviews too
Thanks... I was slow on the uptake in putting myself on an author site here at Goodreads. I honestly am just a writer and never thought about the publicity part of this process. I didn't even know what Goodreads was and I am only just learning. Thanks. But, meanwhile, if anyone want a review copy of THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS by Linda Palund, published by Harmony Press, just let me know. I am still looking for a younger reader to review it. Thanks, Linda

As Amazon has just purchased Goodreads (to my knowledge) I wonder if there may be more 'crossover' in future - with particular reference to reviews.
I like the idea of moving goodreads reviews to Amazon.
I'm still having difficulty negotiating Goodreads.
