I joined Facebook groups a while back and gained Goodreads friends via those groups. I also follow bookish content creators I enjoy and people who I see pop up on multiple (mostly indie pub) books I have enjoyed or am interested in. Following allows you to see that person’s updates.

I’ve had interactions with a few users who sent friend request after seeing a review I’ve posted of a lesser reviewed book we have in common.

Do you send request or do you wait for them to come to you?
