Sunday Funday, and for me, that means cleaning and organizing, like the organized chaotic energy that I radiate…
But enough about me, I want to shed light on the new new that is Goodreads’ new logo and user experience ✨
New Logo and Fresh Look 👀
I am loving the new logo and fresh vibes of the Goodreads revamped website!
They’ve optimized their logo for accessibility (which I am absolutely in love with) and stylized the lowercase g to look like a “magnifying glass” over an open book” which is just, so clever!
Plus, they’ve been super active on their social accounts, promoting their well-researched book newsletters, super engaging reading challenges and most anticipated reads of the summer posts…

New Achievements & Challenges 🔖
If you’ve completed Goodreads Reading Challenges in the past, you’re probably familiar with the rewards you’d receive for reading certain books at certain times, but now they’ve added even more unique challenges to complete and you receive these adorably designed bookmarks as your reward 🤩
My 2k25 reading goal is set to be 52 books (after I updated it back in May ’25 once I hit my goal of 26) so it’s looking promising to achieve this newly set goal (and possibly knock out some side quests for those Summer reading challenges 🫣)
And as any collectionist (such as myself) must achieve to function properly… I must “collect ’em all”
Connect Want To Read with My Books on Amazon
A newly introduced feature that does not really impact me, but could impact others, is a newly added feature for Goodreads & Amazon Users…
This has been one of our most popular customer requests and we’ve now made it easy for readers to reference the list of books they’ve already discovered when they are choosing their next book to read on Amazon. It’s another example of how driving Want to Read shelvings for your books on Goodreads delivers multiple benefits over time. Simply type “Your Books” in the search bar on the Amazon Store, and the top result will open the Your Books feature. (Currently available for US customers who have linked their Goodreads and Amazon accounts.)
The noticeable improvements of their user experience, the enhancements to their achievements and challenges to optimize and diversify the reading perspectives, is truly seen and, needless to say, makes me excited that Goodreads is really spicing up their platform this summer szn… They’re getting ready to embrace the upcoming summer months in style!
And that got me super curious and itchy to reanimate my presence on the platform 👻
So, to showcase a few updates that I’ve done to spice up my profile, keep scrolling…
& if you like what you’ve read? 😈
New About Me + Interests Added ✏️
I wasn’t aware beforehand that you could update your interests on Goodreads, so now I’ve added a few of my other hobbies (like movies, and arts & crafts, etc.) – plus organized my Favorite Type of Books as well (in case any publishers look at my profile and screen me for available ARCs 👀… you can also reach me by using the Contact page on my blog, btw)
And now to show you some of my updated lists on Goodreads that I think may interest you…
The Never-ending To Be Read List 📚
There are almost 500+ (pre- and post-published) book titles added to this expansive Want To Read list on Goodreads, and believe it or not, I am not scared of the sheer size or amount of books here!
If anything- the more books I discover, the more my morbid curiosity grows 😈 so the inner chaos within will never let me quick adding countless books to my list. As this list continues to evolve with new intriguing titles, it just motivates me more to eventually read and immerse myself in the horrific worlds that await my ghostly presence…
What I’m Currently Reading 📖
As we speak (or as I type) I’m currently reading 6? books at the moment and trying my hardest to finish the majority of them before July ends…
Side Detour to Chat Camp NetGalley
And as my obsession with NetGalley exponentially grows, I decided to participate in the Camp NetGalley challenge they’re hosting until the end of the month!
And Breathe In, Bleed Out by Brain McAuley happens to be my choice for Camp NetGalley so the active goal is to finish and review it before August 1st to earn my Camp NetGalley Badge…
Today, July 20th, is actually the last day to choose your book for the Camp NetGalley badge so if you’re interested, click on the image above to look at the books available, and sign up for free on NetGalley, for more fun summer camp activities…
Along with Breathe In, Bleed Out; I’m also actively trying to finish Mary by Nat Cassidy as it’s the current mor(e)bid curiosities book club pick for July…
and also I want to finish off Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou since it was a buddy read with a friend of mine, and I truly need to discuss the events of the book!

Well, Boils and Ghouls, it’s been a slice 🍕 showing off the new stylized Goodreads logo and user experience, but the Sunday scaries are starting to kick in 😨 so time to treat ’em with some more disturbing literature…
