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
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.
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.
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.
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
