First off, if someone has set their profile so that no one can follow them, then it can’t be done. You would have to “friend� them � and have them accept.

Second, there are several ways to follow someone who allows it.

1. Go to their Profile Page and click on �follow reviews� just to the right of
add as a friend�.
2. When reading one of their reviews, click on �follow reviews� tab at the bottom.
3. If you are not aware of any books they have read, a quick way to check this out is to
a) Go to their Profile Page.
b) Go into their bookshelves. For example, on the screen pictured below,
you would go into �Annie the Destroyer *Leather Lust*'s Bookshelves�.
c) After reading read the information GoodReads How To� on
Shelf-setting: visible columns and click on �review� � to the far right.

Special Note: Once you set your viewing to these visible columns, they will
appear this way (until you change them) regardless of who’s bookshelves you
view. This came in handy a week or two ago when GR wasn’t
delivering e-mail notifications of my friends� reviews.
This way, I could
just quickly go in and check my top friends� bookshelves and see if they had recently
posted any.

d) Once you find a book where they have written a review or comment
(red arrow, Screen #1), click on �view� (green arrow, Screen #1) and it will
hyperlink you to their review.
e) Then follow step two above.



Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any difficulty.

Lina | 5563 comments Do you know if that person receives notification that you're following their reviews, Lisa Kay?

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Yes, if you click "follow reviews", they receive an e-mail notification, CaroB. However, if you just go in and look at their bookshelves, they would only know if you clicked "like" on one of their reviews.
