    Default Audiobook Resources

    I want to share a few of the websites that I visit for audiobook and just plain book information.

    I will add to it as I go along, so bear with me and feel free to add your own favorites!

    I use Twitter as a resource - there are tons of readers and writers on it with book giveaways and reviews. It's easy to sign up, free, and in a separate post I will make a list of some great folks to follow for book information.

    Bookpage is an online version of the print publication available in many libraries. It contains reviews, author discussions, books by genre, newsletters, reader reviews, and more. It's a very good site.

    Bookreporter is another site that has a wealth of information. Upcoming book releases, reviews, author information, reader recommendations, and newsletters are offered along with chances to win ARCs and other prizes.

    BookBitch features lots of book reviews and hosts monthly contests. She also has a HUGE links section for book-related websites.

    StopYourKillingMe is fun if you like mysteries - Thanks to Aprilla for the suggestion

    I will continue to add resources to this thread! Don't forget to add your own!

    I'd like to add Goodreads. I keep a list of all books read on this site and also like their reviews. It works for me.

    A new one to me, has good titles and requires no subscription... which suits me in these uncertain times. We've given up all our subscription services till the world settles down again.
