What do you do on Goodreads? Fatness

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Do you enter Terminal Coffee and never leave? Or are you a part of the wider GR community? Do you post more in other groups than here? Are you a librarian, do you do vast numbers of edits? When you see a bug, do you immediately report it in Feedback, or when I say Feedback do you have no idea what that is? Are you a member of a highly sexualized roleplaying group? (Actually I have no idea what that even is or means.) Do you know who Otis is?

I spend most of my time in terminal coffee. I do have two other groups, one I joined because a friend of mine runs it, I don't participate much. The other is a super secret group, with very limited numbers. It's a spy group, that's why it's top secret. It's a place I feel safe.

I don't feel qualified to be a GR librarian, I don't feel confident enough to give feed back.

In the past I have spend a lot of time fussing with my GR library, writing reviews, not so much now. I drop in and out of groups as the whim takes me. I always drift back to my favourite group TC, as I always feel welcomed here. By most of you anyway. :)

I'm lurking more in Terminal Coffee and spending less time here.

I'm moderating another group that is increasingly busy, so I spend more time there. We have a couple of challenges on the go, monthly group reads, and bi-monthly read-a-thons called TBR Topplers. My role in the group is chief mod and running the challenges. There are three other mods who run the other activities.

[Anthea]

I'm still new to Goodreads and getting used to it. I'm a librarian on here but not sure what that means. I haven't posted much if any on this group, but I really like coffee. I'm having some right now but I ran out of creamer.

[Phil]

Just TC for me. That's enough. I'm part of a role-playing group but it's not at all sexualized, because that would be truly weird since my daughter is also part of the group.

Otis runs an elevator repair company?

Otis, GR member #1.

[Félix]

Otis Reading.

[Sarah]

I've got other groups that I moderate. I write reviews and read reviews. I play around in listopia and the quizzes sometimes. I register for free books, and win them on occasion. I don't have time to be a librarian. I post in Feedback every once in a while. I know who Otis is.

In terms of groups I spend most of my time herein. I have a couple of book related groups I visit only occasionally, and I go into the Librarian and Feedback groups as necessary, or when I see an interesting topic pop up. I have done lots and lots and lots of librarian edits, but I'm doing fewer lately. I am an active contributer to Listopias, in fact when I finish a book I immediately and joyfully run off to Listopias to see which Listopias I can add the book to. I write lots of trivia questions (I think I'm ranked 2nd?) but hate the quizzes. I generally write a few trivia questions for every book I read. I moderate no groups. I have left groups that at first seemed interesting but turned out to be boring, and I left a group that I enjoyed being in but a moderator deleted one of my comments and very much pissed me off, goodbye.

[Kevin]

basically TC only. i started to keep track and log my books but now i do more TC than anything. my reading is in a funk right now

[Cynthia]

When life hands me lemons (flooding in Iowa, dripping water from the TV room ceiling, worries about the girls) you guys are my sounding board. I am very thankful for so many dear friends.

Goodreads is also a big way for me to communicate with my oldest daughter Madeline, who is now the #18 rated reviewer in the USA! That's my girl.

[Sally, la reina]

More TC than anything,, my bald friend?

[~Geektastic~]

I used to post in lots of different groups, write reviews and read a lot of other reviews. Lately I've just been hanging around TC occasionally and checking a few reviews here and there.

[Carol]

I'm a member of other groups, mostly skim them for book/kindle news. I read most of TC even though I don't post too much. I keep track of my reading, my reviews are strictly for my benefit. Thanks for letting me know who Otis is.

[AmyK]

I lurk in a few different groups, but have started trying become more active. I spend most of my time looking for new books to read, staring at my list of books that I don't know that I can read in two lifetimes.

[janine]

I know who Otis is!

I spent most of my GR-time in TC. I write reviews when I feel like it, and will occasionally read some. I am a librarian, mainly because some of the Dutch books I read are not on GR yet or don't have a cover yet on GR.

[Kevin]

ok sally...is that a grammar error?

[Sally, la reina]

What, have a cover yet on GR?

[Annette]

I potter around a few groups, post a few giveaways, try to win one, try to read the books in my 'currently reading list' (usually end up reading something else), try to remember to post reviews on what I have read, look for book ideas for my daughter (who is a voracious teen reader).

[Riona]

I'm on GR pretty much whenever I'm online, so I do a whole bunch of stuff here. I'm a member of a number of groups -- in some I mostly lurk, in others I'm more active. I read and write reviews and like checking what my friends are reading, and commenting on their statuses and reviews. I'm completely addicted to listopia. I also like quotes and trivia from time to time. I used to enter giveaways, but don't anymore because I haven't actually ended up reading the one I won... (I know, I'm a bad person.)

I'm a librarian but I don't do that many edits. I go through phases. And yes, I know who Otis is.

[Dennis]

I lurk in a couple of groups and comment in a couple of others. The majority of my TBR list is because of book recommendations through GR. I gave up on the giveaways because I never won!

I think she's wanting you to finish that phrase with "more than anything else I do on GR" because it implies you do TC more than you eat, sleep, brush your teeth, ride your motorcycle, shower... y'know, the really important stuff. :)

[Sally, la reina]

Thank you Heiderson. I was confuzzled.


HEIDI!

[Heidi]

I TC more than I do anything else on GR (and I don't have as much time lately to TC as I'd like to have). I'm in a few other GR groups I really don't visit much. I also use my to-read list fairly often to keep track of the books I'd like to read someday. I pay attention to recommendations. :)

Like this one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

You were probably just replying to Kevin, in which case, ignore this.

[Kevin]

heidi & sally thank you. i confuse myself often. no, i do not do TC more than anything. it ranks possibly in top 100 things that i do on a reg basis but much farther down the list than motorcycle riding, brushing teeth, ice cream eating, origami and spelunking

[Félix]

Spelunking. I like that word.

[Cynthia]

Spelunking should be the word for throwing pebbles into a cool, still farm pond on a cloudy damp day. With your dog Carl. And with no bugs.

[Cynthia]

I have a Goodreads friend who shall remain nameless. He/she makes me nuts with book recs for books I won't like, polls, quizzes and invitations to join groups I won't like. I know I should probably block him/her but I feel guilty, TC people. What would you do if you were Cynthia? I am not always wise. Grasshopper needs advice.

[Félix]

If he/she is not a personal, actual real-life friend, I would would delete in a heartbeat.

[Sarah]

I think you can block some of those applications without blocknig the whole person, but I may be wrong.

[Sarah]

I have a GR friend who also does that, and at one point I sent her a message asking her to stop. I promised I would seek her out to join one of her groups if ever I had time. Then I left the groups sitting without a yes or no, so she couldn't reinvite me.

Oh Kevin. I doubt you do origami and spelunking more than suitcase packing/unpacking and sock applications.

I also imagine you might do a bit more laughing than Tcing.

If you like the person as a GR friend apart from all the annoyances, send them a PM saying you don't want to offend (optional) but you're simply too busy to do every single thing they're inviting you to do so could they please stop. If you don't really care about them as a GR friend, delete the friend.

I have a few friends who want me to vote on every Listopia known to man, and I'm interested in voting on maybe 3% of them, but I like the friends, so I just delete delete delete their invitation emails.

You can borrow my dog Carl, he is a lovely and well-behaved Border collie mix, not sure if he likes caves, though.

I think I'm too passive aggressive to confront the person, so I will keep delete delete deleting.

Who said anything about caves?

I only have two groups I really pay attention to (including TC), but I often skip out on checking the computer for a couple of days. So I regularly come back here as a voyeur to enjoy all of your threads of conversations when I was sleeping :)
