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.

LibraryThing

The first blog item has to be LibraryThing . LibraryThing is a fantastic site -- a librarian's dream -- catalog your books using Amazon, Library of Congress, and other libraries; get suggestions for new books to read; find other people with similar reading tastes; read book reviews and more.

LibraryThing boasts that it is the "world's largest book club."

Create your library catalog -- the first 200 books are free, unlimited entries for one year ($10) or lifetime ($25).
