Online Book Communities
Goodreads, LibraryThing, Shelfari, & Biblionasium
Book lovers may use these online book social networking platforms to learn and share thoughts over literature. These online book community sites give readers another way to promote books and interact with readers who are interested in them. You can also create a profile and engage in advertising as an author.

Goodreads is a website that allows you to keep track of the books you've read, are reading, and wish to read, as well as rate them once you've finished them. You may use the app to follow writers and other readers and see what books they like. Almost every book can also be found on Goodreads. The software will provide average ratings, reviews, the genre, and length if you scan a book cover or type in the title. So, if you ever feel alone in your love of books or are stuck in a reading rut, Goodreads is a terrific app to utilize.

Shelfari Information:
Shelfari was founded in 2006, a few years before the e-book craze exploded. Amazon was an early investor in the company, and in 2008, it purchased it altogether. Users can create virtual bookshelves of items they possess or have read, as well as rate, review, tag, and discuss them on the website. Users can also form groups, which other members can join, start discussions, and discuss books and other topics. Is the concept of Shelfari familiar to you? It was essentially the forerunner to GoodReads, which is now owned by Amazon. Shelfari stated today that their website would be shutting down and that all of their data would be integrated with GoodReads.
One of Shelfari's major flaws is that it was released before the popularity of e-readers and tablets. The company never got around to creating a clean user experience or high-quality Android or iOS apps. That's why GoodReads took off so quickly; everything was sleek and appealing to the smartphone generation.

Biblionasium Information:
Biblionasium is a social network that allows students to keep track of their reading, review them, and share or promote them to other students. Parents or instructors must first join up and then allow access to their children. Students are given the option of creating an animated avatar before beginning to add books to their My Books area. Multiple teachers can manage a class in a team-taught setting. Reports on pupil reading progress can be generated by teachers. Students can then keep track of their progress, set personal reading goals, and evaluate and recommend books to their Biblionasium peers. In exchange, they'll be able to see what other children are reading in a secure, private setting.
