Nerd Joy

~ UNDER CONSTRUCTION ~

Here are some websites that tweak my nerdy happy button. May they do the same for you.

Your Home Library
LibraryThing - I don't know what I did before there was LibraryThing. This is a fabulous service.

Goodreads - Similar to LibraryThing, this site allows you to catalog your books and network with other readers. I find it more networky than catalogy. 

Shelfari - Another networking site.


FictFact - A great website that helps you track your favorites book series. Simply mark the many different series you read and easily track reading orders and release dates.
 
Free (or really cheap) Books
LibraryThing Early Reviewers - With a LibraryThing membership, you can sign up to receive free advance copies upcoming releases in exchange for posting a review.

Booksfree - Rent books a la the NetFlix model. There is a monthly fee, but the convenience of having books mailed to you is nice. They also have audio books on CD.

BooksfreeSwap -  Created by Booksfree, this new service allows members to exchange paperbacks and audiobacks, including textbooks. This falls under the "really cheap" category, and it's great for people looking to clear some shelf space.

Project Gutenberg - The place to go for the classics. As they say, the were the first to put entire books online that anyone could read for free. You're not going to find the latest mystery thriller, but you will find thousands of quality books. Great for students.
