     Hello, if you're a reader like me, you heard about the website, Goodreads. Goodreads is a social media website for readers to connect with like-minded people and keep track of their reading. It sounds like a wonderful place for readers like me, But unfortunately, Goodreads is becoming a mess. Maris Kriezman, described Goodreads an “unreliable, unmanageable, near-unnavigable morass of unreliable data and unfettered ill will” in her essay for the New York Times. While that sounds a bit harsh, I believe she makes a good point.
