    After winnig nothing for a long time I've won two this week so patience is rewarded.

    still not winning & contacted then to make sure there wasn't a technical error & they told me to add more reviews so it's possible you newbies may find your wins dry up if you don't review enough books

    I tend to win a book a week on average and sometimes with the small authors who just want readers they may give you a code to download their book for free if you don't win. I only tend to pay for books now if they're part of a series I'm hooked on :D

    I've added over 200 books and written a few reviews but haven't won yet. Still hoping though. I actually really like the site and will carry on using it anyhow.

    Does anyone want to be 'friends' on goodreads? I like detective books, chick lit, modern fiction and all sorts in between, would love to friend people with similar interests.

    I've not been on goodreads for long so I don't have many books added yet but you can add me as a friend if you want.
    I like chic lit and detective stuff too.
    Does that take you to my profile?
    If not I'll do a new link.

  • I have been on goodreads for years and review all the books I read and also have lots of book to read and a few friends. I won 2 books when I first joined but have not won for years. I don't understand it. Maybe they don't like my reviews ? ha ha
    Lovereading and waterstones do as they send me books to read so I suppose it's not all in vain and I love the site.

    I have just won a third... maybe it's a ploy to get newbies using the site ;)

    Either way, I'm happy! :j

    Can someone explain the "friends" for me. Do they get access to your personal information?
