I agree! I build websites for authors and many of them want a Goodreads icon.

Thanks for the request! I can’t make any promises, but I’ve passed both of your votes on to our development team. 🙂
Hi Nick!
I wanted to check in on this and see whether there’s been any positive response to the initial suggestion.
Now that I’ve published my first book, have a Goodreads author profile, and am getting book reviews there as well as on Amazon, having a Goodreads icon on my site has become even more important.
If it could possibly be added to the plugin, I’d be so grateful! Thank you! 🙂

Hi Michelle
Thanks for checking in about this. I have fed the request back to the StudioPress team, but no firm decisions have been made just yet that I can report back – sorry about that!
At the moment, none of the popular icon fonts (which is what Simple Social Icons uses to display each icon) offer a Goodreads icon, although it’s certainly a very popular request in the icon font world too! https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/1715
I’ll continue to monitor things and press the case for you, though – thanks for your patience. 🙂
No apology necessary! I appreciate your response.
Wow, it IS a popular request! With the explosion of self-publishing, I’m sure a lot of other indie authors are keen to add it to their site.
Thanks again for following up. I’ll keep my fingers crossed! 🙂
Have a great day!
Just want to add that I also would like to have the Goodreads icon added to the plugin. Unfortunately I have to switch to another plugin now for an author’s site I am working on, unless this is something which will be available within the next two weeks, possibly?
I just wanted to chime in and say that having a Goodreads icon included in the Simple Social Icons would be great! There are a lot of book bloggers out there who I am sure would appreciate it as well.
Has there been any further discussion on this with the developers?
