Many times when people hear the words social networking, their brains automatically go to sites such as Twitter or Facebook. However, there are sites for those into social networking and into reading. Sound crazy?, It's really not. If you've ever wanted a site where you can receive book remendations，follow your favorite authors，and keep up with what your friends are reading, then look no further than Goodreads. .
Goodreads provides useful services for those in the reading world. It is a site where you can win books by going to giveaways（赠书）and simply entering your information. Some giveaways are even signed by the author. And the books aren't boring，old or torn copies —— many of them are ARC's (Advanced Readers Copies)，for which you can write a short review on the site. Anyone can post reviews of their favorite books or series so that others may feel inclined to read them as well.
Another function of the site is offering book clubs and interest groups. You can have interactive discussions with groups of people reading the same things，sort of like a blog. You can also make friends with people and post statuses similar to Facebook. Your friends can send you book remendations and you can add them to your shelf if you choose.
Shelves are by far one of the best features on the site. You can categorize（归类） your entire library and put books you want to read on your“to-read” shelf. These virtual（虚拟的）shelves allow you to see what you've read and also let you keep track of the number of books you've read in a year.
You can even read original writing for free because many people post their own writing on the site to gain feedback and advice on how to improve. Anyone can join this site for free and fall in love with not just a book, but a book site as well.
