For many people, reading is less of a hobby and more of a passion. Here are some of the best websites for the book lover in all of us.
Goodreads: Connect with Other Book Lovers
People often describe Goodreads as a social network for book lovers, but that’s selling it a bit short. With close to 80 million members, you can certainly find other people to connect with to discuss your favorite books, read their reviews, follow what they’re reading, and so on. It’s kind of like having a book club, but you don’t have to meet in person once per month to eat terrible snacks and listen to people talk about everything but books.
Goodreads also lets you keep your own “shelf” where you can track books you’ve read or want to read. It also lets you browse books by category and even offers it’s own “choice awards” for helping you find great books on any topic.
FictFact: Track Your Book Series
If you read book series (especially those long crime or adventure series that can span dozens of books) or you’re looking at starting a series, you know the pain of figuring out the order in which you should read the books. They’re usually not numbered on the covers, and most booksellers (including Amazon) do a poor job of showing you the order. You’re then left scouring publication dates and trying to piece things together.
That’s where FictFact comes in. It’s a free site where you can plug in any title, author, series name, or keyword and then find a list of all the books in the series, presented in their reading order. Sign up for a free account, and you can follow as many series as you want. You can also mark individual books as to be read, reading, read, or skipped.
