Good Reads

So this is one of my new favorite things on the internet...goodreads.com. You can sign up for an account for free and it the site allows you to search for books, review books, and have "friends" so you can see there books. It gives you three "shelves" or lists: "to read", "currently reading" and "read". (By the way, does anyone else think it is strange that read and read are spelled the exact same way but you say them both differently and they are two different tenses. I learned that little fact in second grade and I have always thought that it was strange.) Why is this my favorite site you ask? I love to read. Once, in high school, when I was writing about myself, I wrote that "I get lost in the world of literature." I have recently been awakened to that fact. I absolutely love to read. When I finish a book I am always looking for something new to read and in conversations with other people I always think, "Oh, I should read that book next" and then when the time comes to start a new book, I can never remember what to read. Problem solved. I now have a list of the books that I can read and I am always finding new ones to read by browsing through my "friends" lists. I think this is the best thing since sliced bread! I would highly recommend it.
