I'm not sure how useful Goodreads is to writers. I have just received an "Author Newsletter". It says:

Your books were read 13 times in January.
6 members shelved your books as to-read.

I know for a fact that:

1 There were no sales of my book in January (dammit!)
2 The only people on Goodreads who have read my book are reviewers I sent copies to

So... quite a lot of spin here. For an author the Goodreads "to-read" system can be very misleading - most people never do.

Part of the self-publishing bubble, possibly?
