We have LibraryThing, GoodReads, and JacketFlap. LibraryThing and GoodReads are pretty general in their content, while JacketFlap features children’s authors and fans. Now, we can add to that Booknolia, which focuses primarily on nonfiction books.
When I mentioned Booknolia in a previous post, Francis Tapon - one of the founders of Booknolia and author of Hike Your Own Hike - asked:
What feature would you like to see that would make the site irresistible?
This seemed like a good discussion to have. What exactly DOES make a social book site worth visiting? Ease of use? Access to authors? Good reviews?
If you use any of these sites, what do you like about it (or them, if you use more than one)? What could you do without?
Talk amongst yourselves….
PS: If you’re feeling clever, What Else Wednesdays is up.

If it’s books and social networking, then I want to be able to see if my frineds read the same books I do. Maybe I want to make new friends based on the books we like.
this is definitely interesting.
