# Goodreads Social network that allows users to track their reading progress, discover new books, and share book recommendations. Founded in 2007, acquired by [[Amazon]] in 2013. Users can create virtual bookshelves to organize and categorize their books, rate and review books they have read, join book clubs, participate in reading challenges, and connect with other readers who have similar interests. Goodreads also provides personalized book recommendations based on user preferences and allows authors to interact with their readers. --- 2024-01-20. Accidentally clicked the link to »remove all my books« on here: https://goodreads.com/review/import. There really should be more warning about this. Lesson learned: Make [[backup|backups]] on Goodreads, too.
