Our Favourite Book Logging Websites

A book logging website is a website on which you can record the books you have read. Most of the book logging websites have little extras that put them over the edge. Here is a list of our favourites and the reasons why we like them


  1. Goodreads

Goodreads is a website where you can log the books you have read, the books you are currently reading and the books you want to read. You can also publish your own stories on Goodreads and get comments from others on how you could improve your writing. 


Another useful thing about Goodreads is that you can write reviews about the books you have read and hear what other people think of books you are thinking about reading. On Goodreads, you can ask questions about books and anyone who has viewed that book can answer them.


You can also view our review of Goodreads here.


  1. Serial Reader: 


Although Serial Readers is an app, we decided to include it in our list, as it is downloadable on many devices. Serial Readers is an app that helps people to read classic books. Many people find classics quite daunting, so this app gives you a small extract from a classic each day, which helps to stop classics looking quite as daunting


They have more than 700 books that you can subscribe to read and they will then help you read them. If you read through Serial Reader then you will be sent about twenty minutes of classic reading each day. You can choose from a range of very popular books, such as Little Women, Moby Dick and Pride and Prejudice.


  1. Biblionasium: 


Biblionasium is an awesome website made especially for children. It is such a good website because you can not only log the books you read, but they also send you encouraging messages to keep you going when you’re in a reading slump.


They have four shelves that you can log books, one for books you have read, one for books you want to read, one for the books you are currently reading and one for the books you own. You can also set challenges to try and reach with your reading and how long you want it to take.


  1. Library Thing:

Library Thing is a website that you can use to keep track of the books you have read by adding them to your personal library. They give you reading recommendations that can help you pick a book when you’re stuck for what to read


It is quite similar to Goodreads, but you can also add other media, such as movies, etc. to your library so those of you who are movie buffs can keep track of those too. Library Thing is free for all to use.



These are our personal favourite book websites and we really hope that you choose to use some of them. They are all completely free and easy to use and we would recommend them all to anyone who enjoys reading.



If you think we should have added any other websites, then tell us in the comments. 


Happy Reading,

The Book Corner

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to the Book Corner Blog. This is a blog all about children’s books. As children ourselves we are experts on the subject and we want to share our knowledge with all of you. We know that many children associate reading with school. We hope that this can change since there are so many books out there that are nothing to do with school but still very, very good. On our blog we hope to introduce children and young adults to books that they will want to read instead of ones they think they should read. We are also hoping to include some author interviews. We have so many questions to ask the authors of our favorite books. There are some books that you read and they just fill you up with questions. We want to get answers to those questions. We hope that our blog will cover those topics as well as many more. We will try to post at least once a week and we would be overjoyed if you were to read some of them.  Saoirse and Neassa at The Book Co...

Why you don’t like reading

           Why you don’t like reading In this blogpost we are going to talk about a lot of common reasons why people don’t like reading and how to get around these problems. We know that there are so many different reasons that people don’t like reading and we are only going to cover the basic ones. Teachers Teachers are actually a huge problem when it comes to children reading. They often make their classes read books that they don’t want to read as part of their work. These books are usually classics or books that are quite complicated and very “wordy” [meaning that they have a lot of words and phrases that are uncommon or rarely used]. Not all teachers are like this, though. When I [Saoirse] was in sixth class [fifth grade] I read “Holes” by Louis Sachar. This turned out to be one of my favourite books so that ended up being a good thing. Another problem with teachers is that they rarely have very good or interesting books in their cl...

Reading by Neassa

 Hey guys, it's Neassa. I don't really have a specific topic for this post, so I'm just gonna talk all things reading. Why am I doing this, you might ask? Well, it's because reading books isn't confined to one subject, so neither is this post. I am often asked, why reading? Why are you a bookworm when you could be a gamer or a sportswoman? Well, firstly I can still be a gamer or a sportswoman and still be a bookworm ! It's not a job or a commitment, it's just for fun.  And why reading? If I'm completely honest, I'm not sure. I really can't remember a time when I wasn't surrounded with books whether I was reading them myself or having them read to me by m parents, so I have been enjoying stories for years ,and I just never stopped! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I also like writing short stories. I would love to write a novel, and am really excited about that. I like writing because I like to try and cover topics I lik...
