Booklovers or bookworms!
Goodreads is a website that has a vast and extensive list of
books, reviews and annotations that their members can research at their
leisure. It is a place where users create a profile and list all the books in
virtual bookshelves that members can create according to their
preferences. The bookshelves are labeled
with books that members have read, want to read and currently read. It is way
for them to share books that they love and hate with friends and others. The
website is connected to Facebook, so member's friends will know what they are
currently reading. You can visit the website by going to htpp//goodreads.com/.
After users sign
in and register books, a reading list is created. Also you can up- date your preferences about
how you are progressing with one book that you are currently reading. Members
make commentaries and rate theirs books that others members can read before
they choose a new book.
After sign up on
it, on the right side of the screen you can click on "Home" to find
the most recent updates from your friend's books, discussions and rating review
of your list of books on it. If you click on "My Books", you can
update your list of books. Clicking on "Friends" will show you a
review of books that your friends are reading, after sign up on it. "Recommendations" on the right side
too can show you a list of books that are provided by Goodreads after you
select at least 20 books that you have already read or you would like to read.
Additionally, Goodreads has an excellent system of rating the books from one to
five stars.
As a member, I
think, this website is amazing for "booklovers" who want some new
ideas of what to read , and also opportunities to read what your friends are
reading. I have found so many good fiction books like Snow Drops by A. D.
Miller that I have read it . Also, A Short Story of England by Simon Jenkins is
a really interesting book. I found the book Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return
by Marjane Sartrapi. I did not know the author already wrote a second part. I
read her Persepolis part one two years ago.
