Book Web Site Review: Teenreads.com

Here is the first of our book site reviews. First on the list is www.teenreads.com, a member of the bookreporter.com network.

Teenreads.com is run with all you YA book lovers out there in mind. The site is chock full of all sorts of goodies, including reviews, author interviews, and contests. Look out for these special goodies:

Series Books: Check out new editions to your favorite series, and keep ahead of what’s coming out.

Cool New Books: Interested to know what’s new in the world of YA? Look here to find out.

New in Paperback: Find out if your favorite books are published in paperback. After all, they’re cheaper that way!

Reviews: New reviews are added each month, or you can choose to search alphabetically by title to see what the review panel thought of your favorites.

Word of Mouth: Share what books you’ve been reading and get automatically entered into a monthly giveaway. Also allows you to see what you’re peers thing is the latest and greatest. (I’ve found some great books this way)

Manga Reviews: For those of you who are addicted to all things Japanese, here’s the place you don’t want to miss.

Christian Reviews: A special section to review the latest Christian books.

There’s tons of other stuff that I didn’t even mention, so make sure you take the time to look around a bit. Overall, a great book site, although not the absolute best I’ve ever seen. Definitely worth taking the time to browse. The best thing you can do is subscribe to their newsletter, it will keep you informed of updates to the site, which happen only about once a month (or so).
