Goodreads Right Click Extension

Search for books on Goodreads with a right click!

You can now toggle whether your search opens Now or Later via a dropdown on the extension options page. Just click the Extensions icon in the top right of your browser (it looks like a puzzle piece), the click the three dots next to Goodreads Right Click and select Options.

Select the text that you'd like to search (book title, author, ISBN), right click, and choose\"Search Goodreads.\" Your results will show up in a new tab, and you can add the book to one of your lists, create a new review, or get more information about the book.

Elizabeth Wade (ID: 0000004922e89326) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/15/2017 Seems like a good app. I like how I can keep a list of books I've read and plan on reading. Now if only I can get to all of the books before I die - the list grows ALL THE TIME lol.

Molly Whuppie (ID: 0000001b33e2e322) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/14/2017 Great extension. Using "Search Goodreads now" will perform a search and open the search results in a new tab in the foreground. Using "Search Goodreads later" will perform the same search, but in a background tab for you to look at later.

Kaitlin Lalor (ID: 000000837d8eb784) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/09/2017 This extension is fantastic - a must have for all goodreads users!

Jim Stewart (ID: 000000f465b0200d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/31/2016 would be much better if the links were 'flattened'. dont know why they are nested as a submenu, if you are opening a lot of links, this really slows down the process. It does what it says it well but is frustrating because of this aspect of its implementation.

H (ID: 0000008f7b99d220) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/22/2015 As Nathan Moore comment, Searchng Now and Searching Later give same result. yet, we need to operate/move our cousor to select, this is really annoying, can this extension be modified to just one choice? thanks.
