Forgot to comment on Recommendation from Goodreads: I don't find them useful at all. They are too general and often unrelated to my reading interests.
My reaction could be because I never need reading recommendations - my house overflows with books! I know the authors I like, the genres I enjoy and really have trouble understanding people who don't just enjoy the serendipity of just browsing the shelves and picking up a book with an attractive cover or an interesting title.
Of course I never say this to a customer. I employ my reader's advisory skills and send them home with several titles
Made friends with Katie and Debbie.
Added a Mystery shelf to Goodreads and it shows on my page but the books I selected for the shelf do not appear. The shelf reads 0. Another reason why I dislike Goodreads!
I just recommended a title to you, based on appeal factors, and now apparently you're just going to disregard it. :(
