COMMUNITY: Goodreads
Goodreads is a book based community site. This is a site where you can research your next book, chat with friends in groups, like or comment on what your friends are reading. You can also set reading challenges and find book recommendations from what you have been or are currently reading. This site was founded in 2006 and is actually a subsidiary of Amazon.
This site makes money through paid partnerships, payments from authors and publishers as well as paid ads. It’s a free site to join, only requiring a sign-in and not a membership purchase.
