Thirteen Cool Book/Library Websites/Blogs

1. Shelfari - I’m brand new to this site (I was invited by Shobahn Bantwal) and I like the look of it so far. If you are a member of this site, let me know. This is my page (which I have yet to add anything to).
2. Library Thing - I don’t actually have an account on this site (yet?) but the idea is definitely cool enough to get on this list. If you have an account there, please leave a comment with what you think about it.
3. Booking Through Thursday - I found this meme blog a while ago and have been meaning to join in, but you know how life is. Basically, you post your answers to book related questions every Thursday. JM likes.
4. Kimbooktu - This is a blog with all kinds of awesome gadgets for book lovers.
5. Your Shelves - This is by the same person who runs Kimbooktu. This site features pictures of people’s libraries from around the world.
6. Library Ghost - This site is about Willard Library in Evansville, Indiana. Word is the library is haunted. You can do your own ghost watching using the cameras they have set up in the library.
7. Adventures in Reading - This blogger not only owns around 1,000 books but also works in a book store and blogs all about books!
8. FullBooks.com - This site has thousands of free books. Enough said.
9. Book Crossing - This is an awesome site where people ’set their books free’ to wander the world. Check it out.
10. Librivox - Free audio books. Enough said.
11. BooksPrice - On this site you can save money by comparing book/textbook prices.
12. Book-a-rama - This an ‘all about books’ blog with a little bit of everything book related.
13. Book Slut - I’ll admit it; I really like the name.

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!
