I use Goodreads for my own purposes too. I keep track of my Reading Challenge selections in the List thread. Very few people I know in real life read regularly.
I am very interested in what others with similar tastes as mine are reading, so I do follow a few "What are you reading" discussions in some Goodreads groups. I generally don't post in the thread on MR mainly because it is so generic, but I would participate in a genre-specific group for Fantasy, if one did exist. I welcome any new friends on Goodreads that read the same genres that I like.
