#5: Are there any bookwords or literature lovers? Have I got a site for you!
In Dec. 2006 the Chandlers founded Goodreads, a site whose mission is to have members explore books, discuss literatue with one another amd make conact with authors. Wow!
It allows you to see what your friends are reading and like a book club, Goodreads facilitates discussions between members.
Look at Goodreads on this device, it shows icons representing the ways you can jump into the social network bookclub!
I can scan in books and read what reviews by friends and then put them on a shelf. I can even scan in all of my books and put them on shelvesaccess all of the time.
I can find friends what share the same interests and passion
I might find a group a club that I want to join
I might also find out about events that are going on that I might want to participate in.
#6: Once you jump on goodreads, you begin to store your books on shelves (or genres). So, another benefit is organization!
