Goodreads

Goodreads is social networking for the book lover.  It is super easy to join and learn how to use.  The premise is simple, choose the books you have read, review them, and put them on your shelf.  You can set reading goals for yourself, and track how your friends are coming on their goals.  This would be a good tool for your classes to share book reviews.  Have your students sign up, go through the books they have read, review their books, friend up with their classmates, and you have created a reading social network for your students.  Next year, have your students friend last years students, and they will be able to see the reviews of the books you have in your library.
