If you love reading, Goodreads is a great place to keep track of the books you've read and want to read, and connect with others to see what they thought of the books you're interested in. Creating an account with Goodreads is simple, and you can use your profile from another social media account. 

How to log in to Goodreads

With Goodreads, you can use your Facebook, Amazon, Google, or Apple account to create a Goodreads account, or you can opt to use an email address and password. Any of these options will work for signing in to your account on a web browser.

When it comes to the iOS or Android app, you can use an active Facebook, Amazon, or Apple account to sign in. Here, you can also opt to use an email address and password (which Goodreads recommends doing).

If you used a Google account to create a Goodreads account, you'll need to log in to your account on desktop and create a Goodreads-specific sign-in (email and password). Once you do this, you can use the email address and password you've assigned to sign in to your account on the Goodreads app.
