It’s great if you want recommendations because you can simply scroll through the books that your friends and family are reading now, and find out what they’ve read in the past. You can also take part in virtual book clubs that have monthly discussions. Goodreads even has the occasional giveaway where you set yourself a reading goal for the year to enter to win a prize.
