Another page from my blog, this time about books and literature... Yes I love reading, but unfortunatelly I read a lot less than I wished to, and I feel like my pille of books I want to read grows in a much greater speed as the one of my read books... How despairing that is! I already had this notion, but I became clearer after I started using this website that is like a social network, but for books, a website which I use a lot today, so nothing better to write about in the first post for this page then about it.
This website is called Goodreads, there it is possible to add the books you own, the ones you have read, the ones you intend to read, the ones you are reading at the moment, at which page of the book you are, if you are enjoying it, etc., organizing them as you wish!! Moreover, you can obviously search for books, read comments, reviews, see their ranking and participate giving your own ratings and writting reviews! Another advantage is the existance of quizzes, the possibility to add your favorite quotes and create lists like "the best books of the 90's" or to vote for books in already existing lists! And as it can never go missing in a social network: sociability! There you can find the famous communities of diversified subjects, you can add friends and visit their bookshelfs, recommend them books, etc. Goodreads also has integration with other websites, such as Twitter and Facebook, which you can use to publish your status updates, reviews, notes, etc. It also has, the same way as Twitter and Facebook, a free app for iPhone, so that you can control your bookshalfs, visit your friends or search for books from a distance, it is a pretty complete app. All that not to even mention all the gadgets or widgets options there are for you to share in your website/blog like these at the right or this one that is coming right under this post... It is worth to pay a visit and check it, I am very confident that all book lovers will enjoy it!
