wikiHow to Post a General Status Message Update on Goodreads

Community Q&A

Do you need to explain your currently-reading list to your friends? With general updates, you can explain your progress readings to your friends either on Goodreads or through your social media venues (such as Facebook and/or Twitter). This article will explain how to post one of these updates.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open your web browser to the Goodreads website.
  2. 2
    Make sure you are on your personalized homepage (you must be logged-in to see this).
  3. 3
    Look for the section "Currently-reading". Recognize that there must be at least one book on your currently-reading shelf/list to be able to add reading progress.
  4. 4
    Look slightly below all the books on the shelf's list of books. You'll see two links.
  5. 5
    Click the link for "Add a general update".
  6. 6
    Add a comment to the box to explain your progress between all your books you have on the list in as many words as you'll need. Most general updates won't go beyond 2 sentences, but be prepared for more, if needed.
  7. 7
    Click the "post update" button to publish your update.

Tips

  • The General Status update box can hold 420 characters, so choose your characters and words wisely.
  • Don't restate what your page reading updates have shown your Goodreads friends. You can explain what's happening in your Goodreads life, but not what they've already seen.
