I've been a Shelfari user for about two years now and I like creating a list of my books as I go along and share it with my friends on Shelfari and other members of the site. One of my favorite features is when members ask if they should reading a particular title and whether it's worth their time. Books are so subjective that I don't know if someone would want to ask this question from strangers.
I found an article on iLibrarian which lists popular online social cataloging websites. These are sites outside of Shelfari and the well known LibraryThing. The popular sites mentioned in the article are:
1. BookSprouts
You can join and create book clubs.
2. Blippr
You can add short reviews of books, movies, music, games, and applications.
3. 22 Books
The primary goal of this site is to collect book lists.
4. Book Cover Archive
The site has a collection of over 1,000 book covers.
5. BookJetty
You can use the site to organize your book.
6. Book Glutton
The name is unappealing but I like the idea of a site where you can read public domain books and discuss them with others.
7. Listal
Based around entertainment including Movies, TV shows, games, DVDs, Music and books
8. GoodReads
Members can create lists, write reviews, form groups, create trivia questions which is fun.
9. Paperback Swap
This site is a community hub for trading all formats of books.
