So i started using it last year and i am taking the reading challenge, and they have this side quest every trimester where you collect 6 bookmarks by reading qualifying books,
I read everything as long as the writing is good and it's interesting to me.
and i really look forward to collecting all 6 bookmarks and finding something new but this season there is a mandatory sweet and spicy? well.. romance category
and it has 100 qualifying books and they all suck!
all the covers are just so… tacky, and the titles too.
maybe that's just what the romance genre is now or is it just the goodreads collection that sucks? i don't know, but yeah guess i am gonna mess up my streak 🙁

Read what you want and stop worrying about streaks/challenges.
So you’re saying you’re judging the book by the cover
Indie authors unfortunately tend to choose gimmicky covers and titles because those are typically more guaranteed to bring in readers. You know exactly what you’re in for when you read them. Sometimes, what you get is even better than how its packaged. I think you should definitely consider just picking one at random. Let it surprise you. Or read their summaries. I can always tell much more by the summary.
