http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/13936072 is my goodreads profile. I've combed my BCPL reading history to beef up my bookshelves and have begun following coworkers' reads. It's interesting to see books we have in common and how others have rated titles.
I enjoy seeing the recommendations for each of my shelves and look forward to seeing how they progress.
When a customer has a question about a series, author, or genre recommendations I've found it helpful to do a general google search and add "goodreads" to limit my results to lists from their site. For example, googling "Charlaine Harris goodreads" will access her GR account listing her bio, books written, and her series. This is especially helpful for when it's a common name shared by another celebrity and you ONLY want book-y responses.
http://www.earlyword.com/ is helpful book news that's updated frequently and shares info on upcoming movies based on books. My husband just finished Ender's game and was very happy to learn about the movie and watch the trailer I forwarded from the site. This helps us anticipate older books gaining new found popularity.
