For all book lovers, readers of paper backs, hard bound, and even ebooks... I am sure you will love www.goodreads.com (not a referral link.) This website is a haven for book lovers, you can have book clubs for each type of genre, you even get to have your own shelf, to keep track of all the books you read - when you read them, rate them, and basically everything you need to manage your own shelves! There are also free ebooks that you can download from the site. This is really amazing and could not get any better! I sure spend a lot of time in the said site, tracking the books i read, rate them and share comments. Its also a good place to read comments and reviews before you get started on the book you are eyeing on buying or reading. =)

Thank you so much for sharing this! I went on to the website and noticed that it has crime as a genre! I love crime books and for some reason many websites don't have it a genre and instead list it under mystery, which is often not the same thing. Thanks for sharing.

its quite a haven for book lovers, if you ask me! :D i was like a child in a candy store when i was in the site, it sure is a wonderful place to find good books for us to read, if you get lucky, there are even free books you can download from the site.

I did some searching on the site and I found a great book, L.A. Confidential by James Ellroy. I love crime books and it being set in the 1940's - 1950's Los Angeles makes it even better because it was a period of corruption, crime and Mickey Cohen. Can't wait to read it!

Ohhh Yes! I LOVE Goodreads! I actually need to start a new account because I got a little out of hand, adding TOO MANY books to my "i want to read" list! They recommend SO MANY amazing sounding books!
