There are so many ways to create, collaborate and communicate! So many ways to share the books you're reading with others. Today, I would like to recommend Goodreads.
Just go to www.goodreads.com and set up a free account. All you need is an email address and password. On this site you can organize your books onto shelves: read, to-read, currently reading, and more! You can rate, review, and find out what others are saying about the stories you're enjoying. Just like with that other social networking site that starts with an "F" and ends in "book", you can make friends, create and join discussion groups, and play games. Additionally, you can find some of your favorite authors on Goodreads as well including some of this year's Gateway authors! Find Maggie Stiefvater, K. L. Going, Allen Zadoff and others. Follow their reviews, read their blogs, or even request a friendship!
When you set up your profile, you can link your Goodreads account to the "F"-book site and also to Twitter (if you have accounts already) so that any updates you make on Goodreads will automatically post to those pages.
One more feature of Goodreads is the giveaways. Enter to win free copies of newly published books, some autographed! I recently won a copy of Ashes!
