In fact, it’s standard operating procedure for me to filter reviews by star rating first. This means that I go into the comments section with preconceived notions about a book.
To be honest, when I’m on Goodreads, I don’t even bother sometimes to rate a book based on its cover (shocker) but rather how many stars it has. For example, if you’re curious about reading the social media famous A Court of Thorns and Roses series, just checkout a Reddit thread. The format of Reddit forces you to at least surf through a thread to get the gist of a book and why you should read it. I will also say that the lack of a star system is helpful.

Now, Goodreads is great for this as well, but I’ve found the conversations from Reddit to be more in depth and wide ranging because folks tend to have full conversations and debates with one another. Unlike TikTok, which only gives you a short video explanation, recommendations from Reddit come with conversations between users about what they liked and disliked about the book. Surfing through Reddit, I noticed that the site is particularly good at diving deeper into social trends and the books associated with them. I love seeing what sort of niche books people are reading and sometimes get a great Reddit book recommendation out of it (which I’ll get to reading…eventually). So here comes Reddit, which I can’t decide is my savior or nemesis, but goodness can I kill an afternoon going down a thread. Personally, I love surfing through Goodreads or StoryGraph for new releases or books that are similar to those I’ve enjoyed in the past.īut sometimes I need a breath of fresh air and to see what people from other corners of the internet are reading. Now over the past decade, social media has really showed up for readers. Most readers rely on recommendations from friends or good old-fashioned Google. It’s always a challenge to find new books that’ll not only pique your interest, but also to make you fall in love with them.
