Useful Website: Goodreads.com

by Elisa

bookstacksmall.jpg

Hello all! The other day, my sister kindly pointed me to another of those really useful Book-related websites (thanks, Dani!). This one is called Goodreads.com and it’s turning out to be dead handy. I’m already using it to keep track of books that I’ve reviewed on this blog, and I’m going to keep my “to be read” list there as well. I’m thinking that this could be handy for book clubs, which is what my sister and her friends are using it for, and it’s a really good way to keep track of what you’ve read. I used to take copious notes about what I’d read, but then I decided that it was a bit too…obsessive. Now I am taking that to a new level, and embracing my slightly obsessive tendencies. *grin* Anyway, their front page pretty much says it all,

“Have you ever wanted a better way to:
* see what your friends are reading?
* keep track of what you’ve read and what you’d like to read?
* get great book recommendations from people you know?
* make reading fun again?”

But if you need more info, you can check out their “How it works” section. If you join, be sure to friend “thebookstacks”. Enjoy!
