I found a great website for book reviews and keeping lists of all the books
you have read. Goodreads.com
I started a group at Goodreads called Library Links. It is for sharing ideas
about books you have read and how to booktalk them or ideas on activities to
do with them in the school library.
Become a member. Hope to see you!

Judy,
I'm glad you mentioned GoodReads! At Washburn University, the education
students and the Curriculum Materials Center Staff have been previewing
advance copy books and new prek-12 books using our GoodReads account
(accessible from our homepage).
Students in the lit block use it as a digital method of studying genres
and writing book reviews. Since we've created out GoodReads account,
we've been tickled to be joined in our discussions by several authors
and alumni! GoodrReads shows the cover art for each book, is a lot like
'facebook' or 'myspace' for bibliophiles. Teachers often write quick
notes in the reviews of books for use in the classroom. It's also a
wonderful place to host a book club or simply to share reading lists
with friends. As such, it would be perfect for children's book award
committees to use to keep track and score books in a closed-group.
Some academic librarians in the state are also signed up as friends and
use it as a collection development
Teachers and librarians are very welcome to be the Curriculum Resources
Center GoodReads Friends!
Thanks Judy for pointing out one of our favorite social networking sites!
