Goodreads! The answer to "What do I read next?"

We've all been in that position where we've run out of books in a series or gone through everything an author has written - leaving us with the dilemma "What do I read next?"

Well, Eastern Regional Libraries has joined Goodreads to share what's at the top of the best sellers every month and help answer that question so you'll never be out of a good book ever again!

What is Goodreads?
Goodreads is a social cataloguing website for books. You can create your own bookshelves, share reviews, keep up to date with what your friends are reading, join discussion groups and receive recommendations based on what you have read yourself. 

Eastern Regional has currently been creating bookshelves for our Top 10 Reads every month, as well as staff and customer hotpicks, and a listing of author visits we have lined up throughout the year.

Eastern Regional has also become part of the "Librarian's Group", who are responsible for keeping the information regarding book details up to date and accurate (now, who better to curate books than actual librarians?!). So you can rest assured the info on good reads is top notch - because we're on the case!

So come and friend us on our Goodreads page to find out all the latest reading updates. Besides, we like having friends, it makes us feel loved!
