Summer Reading

Being that it’s summertime, I decided it was a great opportunity to talk about books, and the best way to find what you’re looking for.

Something you can bring with you to the beach, camping, or on the deck in your backyard. A companion that can take you from one country to another, or explain the latest in scientific discoveries. Books, and reading, are great to have around and share with friends. If you don’t have a book or two to read this summer, you should.

Haven’t found what you’re looking for? Sometimes finding the right book can be like looking for the perfect bathing suit, it’s nice but doesn’t fit just right. Well I’ve found a solution to help end any tedious beach book search, GoodReads.com. This site finds books for you! Not only that, you can connect with other “friends” on the site that suggest their favorites. Once you sign up you can get e-mail alerts based on your preferences, as well as comments to book reviews you may have posted. It doesn’t stop there…you also have the option to swap books with another member on the site, and you can join reading groups; something to make the reading experience more interactive and not a solo act.

Sign up at goodreads.com today to start your reading journey this summer. There’s a book for everyone out there, you just need the right site to find it.
