Goodreads is the world’s largest site for readers and many of us rely on it every day to make our own book choices. Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a top GoodReads reviewer on a platform with millions of members?
Larry ranks 28th in the world on this platform and is giving us a peek into his daily reading life and how he shares books. Learn his preferred format to read a book, the process to rate and review books, how the GoodReads reviewer ranking works, his experience with review copies, and how he gained his loyal following.
He offers 5 great books we should add to our stack immediately and I couldn’t check them out fast enough. These fiction book recommendations include a couple that hit all the right notes for both of us.

This week’s nostalgic playlist is courtesy of my Columbia House pennies that were shipped off for my CD collection; membership stopped for the required duration and then restarted to collect more.
I carried around a big binder on all our road trips and dinners with friends.
My collecting followed me into those early married days. I still remember the excitement of ripping open those cardboard boxes and buying a CD of mediocre music for that one great hit.
Enjoy this playlist while preparing that holiday feast this year!
