Sometimes, finding the right book that suits your mood can be a frustrating task. Luckily, technology has provided us with websites that can make access to book information less tasking. Here are a few:
1. GOODREADS
Of course, I had to put Goodreads first. Since I discovered it years back, it has easily become a staple of my bookish existence. Goodreads is like the Facebook for bookworms. We get to communicate with like minded individuals, join book clubs, make virtual book shelves and discover new books and authors. Bliss.
2. BOOKBUB
This one can certainly save a broke student’s life. When you sign up (for free, of course), you choose the genres of e-books you are most interested in. Daily, you’ll get emails notifying you about discounts and deals on books in the genres you’ve indicated interest in.
3. BOOKISH
Bookish is aimed more towards content discovery than anything else. Here, you can get more information about books, authors and everything bookish. This website also works as a good source for book recommendations.
4. WATTPAD
This is an online storytelling platform. Here, both readers and writers come together: writers to write, and readers to read. It’s easy to underestimate this website, until you realise that many lovely reads started on Wattpad.
5. INSTAFREEBIE
Instafreebie is another site that is great for a broke reader’s pocket. When you sign up to this website, you’ll get e-mails informing you of available freebies. In essence, you get access to exclusive stuff in exchange for your name being added to the author’s mailing list. Just make sure the books you choose to download are by authors you’re actually interested in, or you’ll be bombarded with unnecessary spam.
