My story is that I was teaching in the public schools. Early in my career I attended a training session where we were encouraged to keep a "Reading Journal" in a standard composition book. The idea was to keep of list of books we read and rate them with a few notes. This would become a resource for future lesson plans as well as recommendations to students on books to read.
In 2016 my daughter-in-law was at my house for the Christmas holiday. She saw me write in my journal and suggested that I try Goodreads. Without her I doubt I would have heard about the website. I became a Librarian so that I could catalog my personal books. I uploaded pictures and started may new book pages. By 2018 I discovered the fun of joining groups and have been here since.
It has really enriched my life.
