One of my favorite things about Goodreads is that its members know books. I often choose books after looking at their reviews on Goodreads. My students like the site, too. If a book gets four or more stars (out of five), it’s pretty much going to be a good one.
Just today, Goodreads announced the results of its Choice Awards for 2013. I like its description: “the only major book awards decided by readers.” Here are a few of the winners:
In these four categories, I don’t dispute the winners at all. The Goodreads community chose excellent titles.
I am also happy to report that all four books are on my students’ Kindles, and several students are reading them right now!
