Task #7

I'm not wild about social networking sites, so it took Webolution to nudge me back into Facebook. Now we have all these "reading" sites that one can belong to.

LibraryThing--(I wonder why it's not LibraryThang) This looked like too much work, too much trouble, and too much time, which I don't have in excess. All for just letting others know what you're reading.

Goodreads--This looked like a place you could post your own writing and have it critiqued. That looks good on the surface, but could be dangerous and non-helpful. The Boulder Goodreads did post some interesting questions.

Shelfari--Nice site for those who want to spend their time "social networking" with others about what they're reading. Not for me.

Litlovers--Looks like a good site to work on your literary reading and form book clubs. Again, not for me.

Allreaders--This was fun! I went through the detailed search--plot, setting, character--and put in a lot of stuff. Got back a list of almost 100 books to look at. Gave me new authors to look into for myself and my hubby. I also liked the adds at the top of the page. One was for a publisher that I may submit some of my writing to. There's no signup necessary on this one, that I could see, anyway. This is the place for me! Such fun and might even (with a little luck) boost my writing career.
