Reading is a singular activity as far as I'm concerned and I read for MY pleasure. I couldn't care less what anyone else is reading or what they think about my reading material. |

I don't actively participate on GoodReads or social media but I do find the GoodReads book info (series, synopsis, etc) and reviews helpful.

These all sum up my feelings about reading. I avoid social media altogether, I don't see the point of all that sharing whether it's books, lunch, private stuff. But if that's what floats your boat, go for it.
Those articles come across to me as people needing to write something to fill their quota, and lacking any topic really worthwhile, this was the best they could come up with.
