What’s Going on With Readers Today?

Wednesday, March 6, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

What's Going On With Readers Today from Goodreads A while back, Goodreads asked publishers what questions they would like to ask readers. The results of the Goodreads survey from December 2012 are now up, and there are some interesting finds. I do wonder, however, how accurate these findings are.
