• (2023-08-21) andy matthews: Thank you Richard Hollister! This is an excellent extension, and I appreciate your time and commitment to updating the plugin for all of us.
• (2023-06-29) Alexis Kreun: I absolutely love this extension!
• (2023-06-28) Jeannine L: 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!
• (2023-06-22) Bikram Agarwal: 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.
• (2023-06-22) Richard B: It was great but has changed to requiring the permission to read my browser history. Sounds hacky to me.
• (2023-02-05) David Linsalata: Still works great, as long as you are on a shelf and not on the individual book page. Great extension!
• (2022-11-16) Cory Novak: No longer works, appears to have been abandoned. use Library Extension.
• (2022-09-17) Nancy Talan: 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.
• (2022-08-12) Marlene Z: 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.
• (2022-08-07) Samir Jain: Works beautifully! Helps me so much for finding books available on libby
• (2022-06-29) Nicolas Emery (Nick): I have used this extension for years. Thank you for this
• (2021-05-30) Madison Shimoda: I have never reviewed an extension before (and I use a ton of fabulous ones) but I felt compelled to leave a review for this one because it is ingenious. I almost cannot believe this exists! Thank you for developing this!
• (2020-11-11) Stephanie Starke: Seriously the best extension I have. If I could only have one, this is the one I would pick. It saves me so much time, and it always works. Seriously amazing extension!!!
• (2020-08-17) Denise Rayman: The handiest extension, a must have for any power reader!
• (2020-07-02) Veekas Ashoka: I've used this extension for years, and I always use it to help me find books to read. It honestly would be a no-brainer to be added as a feature within Goodreads itself if Amazon wasn't the parent company of the site.
• (2020-06-23) Simionov Daniel Adrian: Would be nice to have more options to hide audiobooks for example, hide when not available, it just becomes an endless blob of text when more than 5-10 libraries are used. 11/10 otherwise.
• (2020-01-31) Umut Gültepe: Works like a charm, saves a ton of time!
• (2019-09-24) Courtney Anderson: THIS IS AMAZING! I added both my libraries to the extension and it's so easy to see what's available. Finding books is going to be so much easier. Thanks rhollister!!!!! Edit: 6 years later this extension is still used by me all the time. It even works in the Edge Chromium Beta. Never miss getting myself on the wait list early for new e-books, and there's always something on my goodreads list that is available while I wait. Now I have 7 libraries w/ Overdrive in my network. It's truly insane.
• (2019-01-09) jeff edwards: Perfect.
• (2018-09-26) Tara Peltier: LOVE THIS EXTENSION! It makes finding books that are available on Overdrive a breeze. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
• (2018-09-13) Gavin Rehkemper: Extremely useful for viewing my Overdrive options in Goodreads. Also available for Firefox now: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/available-reads/
• (2018-08-15) Beth Carmichael: If you use Goodreads (and especially if you have more than one library through Overdrive), this extension is a MUST HAVE! It is the best and simplest way to see the availability of titles across multiple libraries at once. I love that it differentiates between availability of audiobooks vs. ebooks at a glance, which is fabulous if you are searching for just one format, like me. Equally helpful, if a book is not currently available, the list shows how many copies a library has and how many holds there are on the title (ex. 10/3- meaning there are 10 holds on 3 copies). It does this across all of your libraries, so you can add your name to the shortest hold list. Super helpful! This developer actively works to keep the extension up to date and improve it. He clearly is as much of a book hound as I am. I wish I could tell him how grateful I am that he created and continues to support this extension. It makes searching for my next read SOOO much easier! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
• (2018-03-27) Lauren Speer: This is so incredible!!! Saves me so much time!
• (2017-12-30) Natalie M: This extension is wonderful! I made a list of audiobooks I want to listen to by using Goodreads. I can check Goodreads now to see what is available. It is so much faster. One wish is that you do an extension for books on RB Digistal and Hoopla as well.
• (2017-12-26) Kate Wenger: This works perfectly! So much faster than figuring out what Goodreads book currently looks interesting and then checking my library only to discover there are no copies available! I will be using this from now on!
• (2017-11-12) Oleksandr Larikov: supports only Overdrive, which in turn means it doesn't support paper books availability. Probably good extension for those who look for ebook or audio books in the libraries.
• (2017-06-26) Tony Crean: Well this is great, though a bit non-intuitive to set up. Be aware that the search is literal - eg. I had just returned Seamus Heaney Beowulf to my library, so I knew the library had it for loan. But this extension couldn't find it because (I think) the Goodreads listing said Beowulf unknown Seamus Heaney - that is, the original Beowulf author is unknown. I suppose that isn't how it is listed in the library catalogue. But overall (one you've worked out which column gives Overdrive availability) is terrific
• (2017-03-20) Jamie Collins: I use this extension almost every day, absolutely fantastic integration directly into the Goodreads site. The differentiation between ebook and audiobook is especially appreciated.
• (2017-03-15) Lauren Berman: Fantastic add-on. Make locating available books so much easier
• (2017-02-16) Cole Swingholm: Works great! Makes looking for ebooks so much easier
• (2017-02-03) Chris Mrozewski: I love this extension! It saved me so much time and effort. No more jumping back and forth between Goodreads and my Library pages. The design is simple, non-intrusive, fast, and well thought out. This should be integrated into Goodreads by default. Thank you!
• (2017-01-18) Josh Hagen: Works perfectly.
• (2017-01-17) Shanna Redwind: This extension has saved me so much time and has made picking books to read easier and less frustrating.
• (2016-11-30) Elise Johnson: Took me a few tries but I got it working and love it! Thanks for developing this, it's so useful!
• (2016-08-31) Erin Truax: I've been hoping for something exactly like this!! Thank you!!
• (2016-08-31) Dana DeFebbo: Where has this extension been all my life! If you are a book nerd like me you will love this add-on. I will say that you may have to refresh the browser a few times if it says a book cannot be found, especially a popular book. Just refresh one or twice and that should help.
• (2016-08-15) Frank Galanti: Amazing! Really clean and helpful way to see if your local library has the books you want to read. It will save you a ton of money!
• (2016-07-15) Savant Krishna: Wonderful. Worked right out of the box!
• (2016-07-05) Wow - its amazing!! RHollister you just made my life super easy! Thanks for building this..
• (2016-06-27) Kelly Denker: Thank you so much - this is incredibly helpful!
• (2016-06-02) Eric Wilson: I hate to give it a bad review but it didn't work. It would say the book wasn't found for every book even those I knew were in the overdrive library. If I clicked to used the new overdrive it would list a ton of different books for each book that are in no way related to the book I was looking at. It is strange Hopefully the bugs get worked out I would love to use it.
• (2016-05-27) Sam Potasznik: this is seriously amazing. thank you, rhollister! it just WORKS!
