This is a companion-thread which runs parallel to 'social media book wesbites' thread. (Admin approved!)
Naturally every reader these days is probably familiar with Goodreads and LibraryThing.
But there are always up-and-coming competitors to these more well-known sites. For example, 'Leafmarks' and 'ReadingRoom'.
The following list is simply an extract from my browser 'favourites'. When Goodreads began to (shall we say) 'stray' from their original charter, I began amassing these. Everyone should feel free to add links of their own to this thread for the benefit of all.
Trust me when i tell you that there are some really useful resources here. Looking for a book but can't recall the title? Try 'CoverBrowser' which lets you search for a book by its cover art.
And 'oldchildrensbooks.com' will assist you track down whatever learning-to-read book someone ever placed in your bunk-bed when you were age four and one half.
When I have time, I will format this list for readability and I will eventually add brief descriptions. For now, simply enjoy.
