GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS 2024: why I didn't vote and why I stopped using the app

[@melanishka]

I agree completely. I'm so tired of the homepage of useless information and terrible user interface.

[@anisa2273]

totalyl agree with you girl. i ditched GoodReads too and storygraph is amazing

[@imaraoctavia]

To be fair half stars don’t impact the overall score of the book that much, so I can see why Amazon doesn’t care about that Edit: I hate when the book hasn’t even sent out arcs and people are allowed to leave reviews

[@luci_lene]

I am so glad we have a better platform in Brazil, even though I don't live in there anymore I still use it. I only have my books listed on goodreads to not buy duplicated books, it is the only reason why I have an account.

i agree i’m trying out fable for 2025

[@lostmymindinbooks]

Amazon is why fixed book prices should be a worldwide thing ngl (even though I love when I find a heavily discounted foreign book)

[@xscerxx2308]

wanted to try storygraph but they dont have books from my country

[@veerow6035]

Good points! You'd think Amazon would have made changes. But um... why does everyone on booktube wear these thick-framed glasses?

[@shelleys.corner]

Idk about everyone else, but these are my actual prescription glasses. As for the design itself, I've liked big frames since I've needed glasses in high school and always seek out as big as I can find 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@veerow6035]

@shelleys.corner they look great on you! I was just wondering because you weren't wearing them in your old video! Thanks for answering!

[@shelleys.corner]

@veerow6035 thanks! I have an eye condition and have to change my prescription quite frequently so my frames change more often than most 😅

[@imaraoctavia]

Amazon doesn’t want to put any money in Goodreads probably because they’re not making money in their books. They’re trying to edge out smaller people, but it’s definitely a relic

[@skullcandy9641]

Another issue is I'm a pic But Goodreads is kinda woke and just chooses people based on colour or gender regardless of content Other fantasies are left out like divine rivals or knight of seven kingdoms Fantasy has many subgenres not just romantasy
