I'm going to become a new follower.<br /><br />I love love LOVE Goodreads. I think I found it about a year ago and I really wish it had been around ages ago. If you have a smartphone, you should really download the free app. At least for the iPhone version, they now have a barcode scanner so you can scan your physical books in your house and automatically add them to your lists.<br /><br />I also have read a lot of Philippa Gregory books, mainly all the Tudor ones. I'm obsessed with the Tudors. I've also read three or four of Christopher Gortner's books. He's such a good writer and a really nice guy. Another historical fiction author you should check out is Jeanne Kalogridis. I've read four or so of her books and she's really good as well.<br /><br />What I've noticed since since joining both Goodreads about a year ago and starting my own blog to share my thoughts on books I read, is that I've read MORE and really branched out with my reading. I've discovered tons of new authors and I've read more historical fiction and other genres and I have even read books that were out of my comfort zone and ended up loving them. Books are the best thing in the world and words are so powerful. I just can't gush enough about books.<br /><br />Anyway, I'll stop before I write my own book here in your comment section LOL! Nice to meet you and I'll be back around!<br /><br />Amber (aLmYbNeNr)<br /><a href="http://almybnenr.tumblr.com" rel="nofollow">The Musings of ALMYBNENR</a>Amber at The Musings of ALMYBNENRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963815851597145235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240267242955546801.post-42953034126235229612011-02-12T21:42:11.431-05:002011-02-12T21:42:11.431-05:00Yes, Goodreads can be a dangerous place!!
