Week 3, # 5,6,7

http://authorsontheweb.com/campaign.php?id=278

I browsed through Authors of the web and searched for author called Kristin Hannah came up with her works, it is really interesting site and gives picture of the cover titles etc. I have pasted link of Authors of the web as an exercise.

AuthorYellowPages.com is a website where we can search for authors. If one wants to find about their favourite author and their work it is all in this website. It is website where authors can list their Official and Publisher websites, as well as Fan and Press mentions so that their fans can see what their authors have been upto laterly. It is a comprehensive home on the web where readers can find what they want to know about their favorite authors.

The Litlovers is a great website for book lovers, it tells the reader what all they can do from starting a book club, making book marks, build bookshelves, book ends and also helps the kids to be part of reading, how to make kids reading more interesting. For book clubs there are set of questions to choose from as to what sort of questions to ask during book club - say for example if they liked the book and sometimes when stories end, readers are sad to say goodbye to a book and its
characters. Do you feel that way? Or were you ready for it to end?


The next website was Bookjetty, which is very cool website for customers who cannot find the book they need in their local library to locate it the country or if they want to buy their own copy where to buy them from like for eg Amazon.com etc

One could also invite friends to see what they are reading and what they think about the book. Only thing I kind of disliked is the fact that not all books are listed for example I tried to search for review of Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen but could not find any. Looks to me that it is more for the new books. But yes I would certainly recommend it to the library customers.
