Social Media Sites for Book Lovers
The next best thing to reading a great book is sharing a great book. Here's a look at a few incredible social networking sites for readers to meet new people and new books:
Starting with the obvious: Goodreads

This is the Flat Stanley project in book form for any age: Bookcrossing.com
Book Crossing is a free book movement started in 2001 and currently has over 1,700,000 members and over 11,000,000 books crossing the world. The mantra is: Label, Share, Follow. The idea is, you read a book then release it to be found and read by others. You can release it "wild" as in on a park bench, doctor's office, coffee shop or a bookcrossing zone which is listed on the site. You can also do a "controlled" release giving it directly to someone. Either way you label the inside of the cover with it with it's unique number and release it for someone else to enjoy.The new temporary owner who picks up the books, can go online, type the number in, and find out where the book has been, and put in their own notes as well as where/when they release it. Some books are traveling the world. I'm starting a club at work for our summer reading. We will label our books before summer break then release the books in our various vacation spots to see where the books may go next.
