I use GoodReads as well. I don’t link my Amazon and GR accounts, however; while I’m generally not fussed about data collection, it’s also the “why give Jeff even more access than necessary?” element. And it’s not as if GR uses the abundant data it already has on me to my benefit; a constant irritant is being pitched books that I wouldn’t read even if the only alternative was the back of a cereal box, especially since the recommendations are obviously gendered. But as a quick stop to log my books and rate them and review if I’m in the mood, and see what people whose tastes are akin to mine think, it’s an excellent resource.
