Celebrate the bibliophile in you by taking a look at BookSpot.com, a site that’s building to become the internet’s source of book information.
The site aims to be of aid for readers of all styles, genres, ages and levels of sophistication by aggregating news on books from around the internet: you can get bestseller lists, links to free and paid books online, excerpts and first chapters, and even clusters of links for selected genres. An interesting bit about this site is that it presents a collection of ‘If you liked this, you’ll also like…’ sites, the kind of resources which allow users to find similar books to those they’ve read and enjoyed, and which can be of great use for those who are a bit disoriented in regard to their further reading. You can also explore the areas dealing with specific genres or literary styles; for instance, if you go over to the ‘Mystery’ section, you’ll get links to libraries of short stories, review sites, and book sellers. If you are looking for more specific information on the book industry, you’ll also find several directories of publishers, authors and booksellers, plus trivia and links to top literary critic’s sites and stories.
