Goodreads is a great social networking site for readers and authors, offering so much more than just the opportunity to connect with others around the world.
As explained on the Goodreads site:
Goodreads is a free website for book lovers. Imagine it as a large library that you can wander through and see everyone's bookshelves, their reviews, and their ratings. You can also post your own reviews and catalog of what you have read, are currently reading, and plan to read in the future. Don’t stop there – join a discussion group, start a book club, contact an author, and even post your own writing.
As the author of Identity Crisis!: 50 redesigns that transformed stale identities into successful brands, Goodreads provides yet another marketing tool for my book with my own author's page. Authors can post a detailed biography, make note of upcoming book-related events, share writings or book excerpts, participate in discussion groups, and promote their own books.
Anyone with a passion for books - and an interest in finding out what others are reading (and writing) - should give Goodreads a look.
(Note: I have added Goodreads to my previous list of social networking/media sites I use for marketing and promotion purposes.)
