For the love of books!

What is wonderful about social networking is virtually gathering with a group of interesting people and discussing interesting things.  If you love book clubs, talking about the latest novel or self help book you have read, then the below sites are perfect for you.  Explore, poke around, find a niche of people who celebrate books as much as you do.

If any of these sites are no longer working, please let me know.  I try to keep track of them, but life can get in the way.

Anobii.com – a social networking site for book lovers

BookCrossing.com – A community of users from over 130 countries who exchange books with each other at public places like cafes, parks etc.

BookMooch.com – An interesting concept where users can exchange books with others through points. Users gain points when they give books to others.

Book Talk –  a thriving book discussion forum, online reading group or book club.  From the web site “We read and talk about both fiction and non-fiction books as a community. Our forums are open to anyone in the world. While discussing books is our passion we also have active forums for talking about poetry, short stories, writing and authors. Our general discussion forum section includes forums for discussing science, religion, philosophy, politics, history, current events, arts, entertainment and more. We hope you join us! ”
