My Shelves: View all books on your shelves. You can filter by shelf type (Read, Currently

Friends: View all readers in your Goodreads network. You can filter by friends, readers you

There is also a profile icon that you can tap to view your Goodreads profile, including your
shelved books, friends and recent updates.
