Social Networks for Readers
May. 24th, 2008 07:48 pmI've tried a couple of online sites for Readers, including LibraryThing (http://www.librarything.com/) and Shelfari (http://www.shelfari.com/). LibraryThing only allows you to add 200 books to your shelve before you have to pay. 200 books? That's just my To-Be-Read pile! And I'm not sure if I'm into it enough to pay a yearly fee. Shelfari was okay, but the web interface seemed a little clunky to me and I didn't really enjoy the experience - I saw it as a sort of FaceBook for Books and I HATE FACEBOOK!
So, the other day![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jonathanmaberry invited me over to GoodReads (http://www.goodreads.com/) and I've got to say, I'm impressed! So far, GoodReads is totally free. Some pages have Google AdSense adverts, but they're unobtrusive... invisible for me actually as I use an AdBlocker. You can add as many books as you like to you shelves and the site is very simple to use and not overladen with features. So far, I'm very much enjoying my time there.
If you're interested in checking it out, make sure you add me to your friend list:
