What is that big brown button on the left? you've been wondering. The one hanging out with the Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ buttons. That's Goodreads. If you love to read and don't know about it, you should.

Goodreads is a gathering place for readers, as well as authors. But mostly it's for, about, and by readers. You can find reader reviews on ANY book there, discussion groups for your favorite books and authors, and giveaways to win books for free, at zero cost to you. Goodreads is hosting a giveaway of my novel Confessions right now.

In a way, Goodreads is one of the better Social Media sites on the web. It is focused, and filled with a wealth of information about virtually every book ever published. And it only gets better the more that people actually participate.

If you haven't joined Goodreads yet, and you enjoy reading, I encourage you to do so. If you do, feel free to connect with me there by hitting that big brown button.
