en 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!

Extension used to work great. Then it broke when Goodreads updated its UI layout. Now the extension is updated and it wants my entire browsing history!!! Nu-uhh! Uninstall.

It was great but has changed to requiring the permission to read my browser history. Sounds hacky to me.

Still works great, as long as you are on a shelf and not on the individual book page. Great extension!

I love this extension and really hope you update it to work with the new Goodreads layout. Adding a book to a shelf and then having to view the shelf is a workaround but it's rather cumbersome.

This is a great extension, but unfortunately does not work with the new book pages Goodreads is starting to roll out. Luckily it still appears on the My Books/shelves pages so if you want to know if a book is available, add it to your shelves first.
