I'm a new user to this extension and it works great. It didn't ask for my browser history like other reviews state. I'm so ecstatic to use this, thank you so much.

My most beloved extension is no longer thanks to a goodreads update. Thank you for the years of wonderful reading...and the ability to snag new releases right as my libraries got them. You will be missed, Available Reads!
