Four Best Book Recommendation(推荐)Services
If you’re on the hunt for something new and interesting to read, you have plenty of places to turn to. This week, we’re looking at four of the best book recommendation sites, services, or groups, based on your choices.
Goodreads
Goodreads is more than just a book recommendation site, although it is good at helping you find new books to read based on the ones you enjoy. You can build a virtual “shelf” of books you own or have already read, share your progress with the books you’re reading, rate(分等级) the books you’ve read, leave reviews, and connect with other readers. You can also use those ratings to get book suggestions from the site’s database of books. Your friends can make direct suggestions to you, and even if the book suggestions that the site builds aren’t enough, you can go diving into user-generated book lists, reviews, and more.
BookBub
While BookBub isn’t strictly a book recommendation service, it does bring you super-low-cost books based on your interests every day. The service is free, and when you sign up, you tell BookBub what kinds of books you like to read. From there, you’ll get an email from BookBub every day with book deals for that day. When we say “deal,” we mean it — many of BookBub’s titles are free entirely, $0.99, or just a couple of dollars. In some cases, they’re new titles that the author is trying to make popular later, and in other cases they’re just great, unnoticed titles you might not have discovered otherwise.
LibraryThing
LibraryThing has been around for a long time and is still a great user-powered book ratings, review, and recommendation site. The service calls itself the world’s largest book club, and that’s a lot like the overall feel. Once you sign up, you’ll be encouraged to start adding books you’ve read and leave reviews for them. Behind its book ratings and reviews though, LibraryThing is a powerful tool to classify and organize your entire book collection. It doesn’t take much to add all of the books in your library so you have a running collection of both your physical books and e-books all in one place. The service will also connect to your Amazon account to automatically pull down books you own and have read.
Reddit’s Book
;If you’re a Reddit fan, Reddit’s Book is a great place to go to see what everyone’s reading, or to get recommendations based on specific authors or titles you’ve enjoyed. Some of the top topics are community challenges and calls for recommendations on a specific theme, but here it doesn’t take much time to find interesting topics for people looking for specific types of books. One person is looking for bedtime books for their kids that combine wars with strong female characters; another person is interested in science fiction titles without alien threats. The sky’s the limit, and you can just as easily post your own topic with what you’re looking for.
