We're now pretty much in the last quarter of 2018, so how is everyone doing with their Goodreads challenges? How many have you read & are you going to meet your target?

I've just finished book 43, and my target was 52 for the year. Should easily meet that as long as I don't decide to start on War and Peace...

Well done @Ross and @Erika ! I'm on my last book to reach my target of 52. Haven't been reading much lately

I love this website. Wanna keep track of how many books you've read? Maybe you wanna win from free reading material? Maybe you wanna see what your favorite authors are up to? You can find it all right here on Goodreads, the most reliable book review and tracker website on the Internet!
  
This is a beautiful cloth-bound copy of The Call of the Wild and White Fang. I received a copy of this book from Goodreads Giveaways. I love it! It is even nicer than it looks online, and the paper even feels nice and "fancy". These are two of favorite stories, and I love that they are included in one volume.

I've got one author who is on here twice due to her name having periods in one and not the other. Is there any chance of them being merged?

Her name (as it is on Amazon & Goodreads) - https://smashbomb.com/s/his-untameable-wickedness-untameable-1

Her name with the periods - https://smashbomb.com/s/golden-shana-the-chase-golden-shana-1

Thank you.

If you buy one book in October, it should be this one. MY MONTICELLO is a collection of short stories and a novella that explore race, identity, and more. Beautifully written, nuanced, and insightful, they each make you think. My introverted self found myself wishing for a book club so I could discuss these stories with others.

The eponymous novella is set in Virginia, where I live, and features a group of townspeople who must flee to Monticello after racial attacks and climate change. I wish I could describe how unsettling and good it is, but you just need to read it. It’s already been optioned for Netflix, which is awesome.

I cannot stop thinking about this book, and I also cannot recommend it enough.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway -- thank you to Goodreads and Henry Holt for my copy.

This is a fantastic app for book readers. I love being able open Goodreads when i am at the library and find out what books I have on my to read list. I sometimes have an issue where if i mark a book at read without marking at currently reading first then it doesn't register as read, therefore it won't add to my total of books read.

Goodreads is an app I open almost every day and often multiple times. The tabs allow for quick selection of the most relevant pages, particularly for updating my reading progress which is what I use it for the most.

Goodreads is a great site for finding books and getting reviews to see if it is worth reading. It serves as a social media site because you can connect with friends and track their books. I enjoy the lists of already read, to read, currently reading.

Hands down this was the best Giveaway I’ve won from Goodreads. Goodman’s writing allows you to lose yourself in the characters from the very first chapter. I had a hard time putting the book down once I picked it up. I was questioning my own sense of truth as I read more and more trying to decide what was real and what wasn’t. I loved this.

Love it!
I've been using the Goodreads app for a few years now after my Dad recommended it to me. I used to write all my book reviews in a book journal so it is very useful being able to just have it all on my phone!
