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

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...

How To Buy Books For And With Your Child

  A key component of reading is, well, books! And if your child doesn’t have any they want to read they won’t read. Period. So it is vital that your child has access to books they want to read. All The. Time. Especially if they are hesitant to read in the first place. With this in mind, I have created a list of hints and tips to help your child to pick books for themselves, along with some bonus tips on how to pick books for them yourself. No pressure to pick Make sure your child knows there is no pressure to pick a book at all. You are just going for a look, and if they pick it’s a bonus.  This can help to pick more enjoyable books as they are likely to buy books they actually want to read, rather than picking books for the sake of it. Money Is No Object At least at first, focusing on the price of the books will deter your child from picking the more expensive ones, that they may want more. While many book shops can be expensive, we would argue that it is worth it to encourag...

The Future

  hvhgrdkhgs;igfvrs/gsvh.dc\k.hvzouesnzvzh’zafbj/zfhf;dhuhufdz;;bzxdc’uszfd.ghdzshgf That was me getting myself to type. It is difficult to know how to start these things sometimes. I’ve decided to keep it in the post anyway to show you guys that we are not perfect and to be more authentic. Another personal post today. It is approaching a whole year since we launched this business. I cannot believe it. Sometimes still have to shake myself and say: I have a BUSINESS. Selling BOOKS. I am living the dream. And I have all these people (you guys!) behind me who believe in us and are getting benefit from our books and our content. It is amazing to think how far we’ve come. But today I’m going to focus on the future. I’m going to talk about my hopes, dreams and wishes for this business, which I hope can become my lifetime job. I think that reading is extremely important. I think it is why I am where I am today. It is how I learn and grow. It is my everything, and running a business that s...
