One of the major complaints about Goodreads as an RS tool is the deadly slow loading of the site. It is not handy or quick, and many of our customers want quick recommendations. What to do?
Voila! The Goodreads app! It is SO MUCH FASTER and easier. At Parkville, we put the app on our branch ipads, and now we have another RS tool at our fingertips to use with our customers. You can use many of the features of the app without logging in to an account. I love the barcode scanner--simply scan a book and it is easy to jump to similar books. You can explore Listopia, check friends updates, find literary events in your area and even download ebooks with the app.
I recommended Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys to Eileen Kuhl:
Eileen, since you like historical children's and teen fiction, I am recommending this book to you. While the subject matter is heavy, the author has created a lighter tone (especially through the supporting characters) which makes it very readable.
