BookBrowse

BookBrowse offers a free twice-monthly e-newsletter full of book reviews. I like the twice a month frequency and the variety of books covered by the reviewers. And there is more than one review. In addition to the BookBrowse reviewer, comments from Booklist, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, or other authors are given.

Take the Reading Personality quiz. I have three reading personalities: Exacting, Serial and Eclectic. Interesting....

BookBrowse also has a premium membership for an annual fee.

Goodreads

Goodreads is another fascinating site. Here's the official description:

Goodreads is the largest social network for readers in the world. We have over 1,800,000 members who have added over 41,000,000 books to their shelves. A place for casual readers and bona-fide bookworms alike, Goodreads members recommend books, compare what they are reading, keep track of what they've read and would like to read, form book clubs and much more. Goodreads was launched in December 2006.

I've started entering my books -- this may take some time. Plus, I need to work on my friends list and explore the trivia, video, writing, quotes and more fun things on Goodreads.
