I spend the most time searching the giveaways, but I do check in almost everyday, just to see new discussion posts, like I check FB everyday.

Once I loaded my shelves, my Goodreads time dropped. But I do check in at least once a day to see what everyone is reading/buying and hit the giveaways. Also I try to load my new purchases within a few days. ;)
I'm on everyday for a couple hours...
I find that it is addictive as well. It is also a bad influence on my TBR list; which has grown from 2 or 3 books; to well over 150!!... Dang it!! :O
Alondra, I so understand the TBR list pain. I've got a wishlist and considering list here. Plus 3 wishlists on B&N. Never enough time, money, and I think my eyes are going too. LOL!
I'm here a few hours a day. I do work during the day but when I come home, I check in, surf, check out groups, etc. Then when I'm finished reading, I come back to check back in and end up spending even more time here.
I come back from work, check the site, update my reading process, check out the discussions, new giveaways, and always end up making new friends and adding new books to my TBR pile!
I'm on while at work - it's one of the allowed things to do when we are not all that busy :-)I also spent a lot of time to begin with, adding all my books!
I check in here a few times a day...it seems I'm becoming addicted to this site as well as books!
Totally addicted! I have already added all my TBR and read shelves on GR and still spend at least 2 hours daily searching books that I'd like to add to my wishlist, reading reviews, re-arranging my own shelves or finding out what my friends read and 'talking' with them about books:)

I'm very addicted to GR-and love it. But since the new school year started (as a teacher) I had to cut back so I had at least some time to read books!
I spend a couple minutes almost every day. I mostly use it for tracking what I read. This is the only group I'm in that has an on going discussion; I read some from time to time and post occasionally, mostly I just glance at the email updates I get to see if anything interesting or useful has been said. I'll sometimes play the trivia, but I get more incorrect answers than correct so I so I stop after a few few questions.I just really like being able to easily look up books I've read when I need to for book clubs or friends. And I use this sight to find out and read about books I'd like to read.

TOO MUCH! I think I spend more time on GR than I do actually reading!

It is my morning ritual. At least 2 hours. I listen to a book while I catch up on discussion threads.

So easily done....I have started to get audible and kindle to reduce clutter but feed the need. ;)
Too long! I love the site and the discussions, the lists, the trivia and the recommendations which makes me add and add to my TBR - although with only 500 books in it I am a beginner :)
I enjoy the site, I love to read the reviews. Probably an hour a day all told.
Way too much,but just love looking at what everyone is reading and it also helps me find books to read :)

I spend more time on here than I should. Since I have the goodreads iPhone app, I check on here whenever I'm bored. I should spend more time reading books instead of checking this site so much
I'm new here, but I'm totally hooked! I visit at least once or twice a day, for a couple of hours at least.

Twice a day. Mornings for "Giveaways" and updates and sometime after 3:30 for Groups.

Kyle,You are so way cool. Brace yourself, bunches of us have a crush on you.
I probably spend more time on here than I should!
