I've added two new fields that might particularly interest AW Bookclub patrons:
LibraryThing
This is my personal favorite of the various social media/network sites for books and readers.
It's geared more towards readers and libraries and booklovers, than authors.
GoodReads
This is probably the most popular one. It's got some policies I'm not fond of, and the fact that it's owned entirely by Amazon is troubling.
(LibraryThing also has a very small Amazon investment).
Both of them allow you to list/catalog and review books, and read the reviews of others. Both have apps for smartphones/tablets that allow you to add books by taking a picture of the ISBN.
GoodReads is particularly friendly to authors.
Neither of these fields are required; I just thought they might be fun. I also added an optional Twitter field.
