So many of the reviews and comments on GoodReads are just useless. I wish there was somewhere to discuss books and read peoples' thoughtful reviews, with less of the social media fluff.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree there's not a good discussion place on Goodreads, but I usually find multi-paragraph reviews saying what the reader did or didn't like for any book I read. I find reviews there pretty useful. Amazon reviews, OTOH, they'll just tell you that they liked it or not without saying why.

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, I could go on a rant about GoodReads. The main things that frustrate me are:

1. People rating a book that isn't out AT ALL yet - I'm not talking about people leaving reviews for books they have early access copies of, but books the author hasn't even finished writing yet. So irritating.

2. When a popular user with a lot of followers/friends leaves a review that sometimes says literally nothing, but it gets a ton of likes, and rises up to the top of the reviews. Sometimes I'll see one that says "4 stars, review to come" and it's 4+ years old and at the top of the review list. Clearly, that review ain't coming. But all of their followers hit like on it, and it goes to the top.

Of course neither of these are a huge deal, but it's just a little irritating to see these useless nonreviews.

[(Anonymous)]

Not saying those are bot comments, but they read like bot comments to me.

It used to be better

[(Anonymous)]

It has fallen down the "influencer" trash chute. I used to go to the reviews when I was thinking about checking out a new author/book but now it's just social media garbage words. People are all trying to sound clever and get likes and I just want you to tell me what you liked or disliked about a book.

There are a few places on GR that still has good genuine reviews without people trying to get followers, but it is getting rarer by the day.

[tabaqui]

I don't buy books there, but I use Amazon for book summaries and reviews, because you can get so many, varied readers, and the summaries actually give me an idea of what the book is about, unlike Goodreads.

[dinogrrl]

I don't visit Goodreads much and the few times I have, it's been pretty much useless for me. As much as I dislike Amazon, I get better mileage out of the reviews there (and find it easier to sort through junk/bot/paid reviews) than almost anywhere else.

I usually prefer clean shaven,but Adam Driver is only attractive to me with facial hair. The difference is like night and day.

The only ship I'm interested in for KPOP Demon Hunters is the main trio of girls in a healthy, happy polycule.

I bought the same phone case that Taylor has. It showed a lot in the docuseries about the Eras tour, and I had to have it. I want to have the same case as her, but also, it's so pretty!

I wish there was a filter on Ao3 to not show anything from fandoms that aren't produced in English. I'm just not interested in anything coming out of Asia, whether it be K-Pop or Anime or Bollywood, and there's so damn much of it.

I miss the old internet of the 90's and the 2000s. It makes me sad that so many of these sites were deleted or lost to the sands of time. I deeply regret not downloading/screenshotting those sites when I had the chance. So many convos and memories lost

Yeah, I mean, it's fun. It's pretty. There doesn't always have to be some great big deep insightful meaning to everything. Sometimes you can just enjoy the spectacle.

Amusing coworker fight

[(Anonymous)]

I thought some of my coworkers were going to get into a physical fight today! Over snack mix, lol.

Last week, coworker A brought in some pretzels/snack mix her daughter had seasoned for the holidays. She had a bag for each person. This stuff is really good, to be fair. Coworker A also brought in a bag for herself to snack on while at work.

Coworker B tried it and loved it. She took hers home.

Coworker C was off when Coworker A brought the pretzels, so she didn't get hers until today. She has had it before and loves it too. Coworker C bought lunch for the department as a Christmas gift.

Coworker B first asked Coworker A if she could have some of her pretzels that she'd brought for herself. "She's your daughter, you can always get her to make more!" Coworker A was kind of reluctant but let her have some.

Coworker B then goes straight to Coworker C and asks for some of HER pretzels, too! Coworker C was incredulous, and was like, "Are you kidding me?? You had your own! I haven't even gotten to eat any yet! And I ORDERED YOU LUNCH!"

I think she shared a few but then she put the bag away. LOL. I have to say, I was on A and C's side in this case.
