If you’re on the hunt for something new and interesting to read, you have plenty of places to go. This week we’re looking at four of the best book recommendation sites, based on your nominations(提名).
Good reads
Goodreads is more than just a book recommendation site, although it excels at helping you find new books to read based on the ones you enjoy. You can build a virtual “shelf of books you own or have already read, share your progress with the books you’re currently reading, rate the books you’ve read, leave reviews, and connect with other readers.
BookBub
While BookBub isn’t strictly a book recommendation site, it does bring you super-low-cost books based on your interests every day. The service is free,and when you sign up, you tell
BookBub what kinds of books you like to read.From there, you’ll get an email from BookBub every day with book deals for that day. When we say “deal”,we mean it—many of BookBub’s titles are free entirely,$ 0.99, or just a couple of bucks.
LibraryThing
LibraryThing has been around for a long time and is still a great user-powered book rating, review, and recommendation
site. The service calls itself the world’s largest book club,and that’s a lot like the overall feel. Once you sign up,
you’ll be encouraged to start adding books you’ve read and
leave reviews for them. Behind its book ratings and reviews
though,LibraryThing is a powerful tool to catalog and organize your entire book collection.
Olmenta
If you’re not interested in registering for accounts, adding
your own books, or any of that hassle(麻烦),Olmentacan suggest some solid titles to you based on general popularity and the
citations of the people behind the site. It’s a simple list
of book covers that the service thinks you should read, and a
few genres you can click on if you’re looking for something
specific, like business, fiction, theatre, poetry, or
nonfiction, among others.
