Yes they went on a buying spree several years ago (2013) and bought lots of smaller bookish companies. They didn't disclose price but it was rumored to be in the high hundreds of millions.

And Goodreads hasn’t received much in the way of updates since then. I still use it, mostly out of habit, but it’s not what it once was.

There used to be a cool Goodreads feature on the Kindle apps, but they removed it :(
