Book apps · Goodreads
Goodreads to track. Bookshelves to show.
Your GR profile is a filing cabinet. Your bio needs a shop window.
Bookshelves is the Goodreads alternative for the link-in-bio job: import CSV shelves, publish visual covers and buy links for TikTok/Instagram. Goodreads remains useful for tracking and community reviews.

Why GR-in-bio fails on mobile
The TikTok handoff
Before
Viewer taps bio → Goodreads → slow load → no buy → bounce.
After
Viewer taps bio → cover they recognized → buy in one more tap.

Questions? Answered.
- Should I put Goodreads in my Instagram bio?
- Only if your audience is other Goodreads users. For BookTok/Bookstagram conversion, a visual shelf with buy links (Bookshelves) outperforms a raw Goodreads profile on mobile.
Your shelf. One link.
bookshelves.me/you — free to start. Live before your next post.
