Confirm the book you want to add isn't already listed. Visit the Goodreads website in your browser and log into your account. Use the search bar to search for the book by name, author's name, ISBN (13 digit/generally starts with '978'), or ISBN (10 digit-old style ISBN barcode number). You can use Goodreads to keep track of reading goals, participate in challenges, and even cultivate a stronger love for reading. If the book doesn't show up, proceed to the next step.
