Goodreads and Shelfari

Goodreads and  Shelfari are websites that readers can review books and recommends books from your reviews. 

It is super easy to sign up if you are on Facebook for Goddreads.  It is easy to find many of the books I have read and authors I like on there.  All you need your author's name, one of their character's names -I tried it out and it worked-, or the title.  It is super simple to rate books and from your ratings, you get book recommendations.  If I had a bookshelf on here on would call it, Flights of Fancy.  I usually read whatever takes my fancy. 

My teacher for Creative Writing II, Golda Fried, has written a book called Nellcott is My Darling, which it real awesome.  She is on Goodreads  right now and it having a book drawing.  Right now, 218 people are in the book drawing!  For my friends following me, here is the web address that Ms. Fried's book can be found at: http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/43319-nellcott-is-my-darling .

Shelfari is done by amazon.com and it seems to have just as a wide variety of books as Goodreads.  I would join the popular series book club just to see what others are reading and what other people are liking.  

I already have several friends on Goodreads.  I would recommend these two sites to friends who like to read.  I love to read and I like getting recommendations and I think others would like that also.
