Cool Tools for Bookworms







Are you a bibliophile, a bookworm? Why don’t you try organizing your books and your reading with some free online tools? With the help of LibraryThing, GoodReads, Shelfari or even “My Library” on Google Books, you can catalog your books, keep track of what you’ve read or what you want to read, as well as read reviews and get recommendations.

Want to join an online book club, send a message to an author? Or, when you love a book and want to find out what to read next? Try GoodReads. Want to catalog your books? Try LibraryThing. Spend a lot of time on Google? Try “MyLibrary” on Google Books. The possibilities are endless.

My personal favorite is goodreads, but they all have great features and are tons of fun for those who love to read!
