My one stop shop for book recommendations

Recently, I've started reading so many books but I'm not progressing into any of them very much. That's my own personal flaw - I like to read the first couple of chapters of books to get a feel for them, and if I can't get into them, I tend to not touch them again for about 3 years. Not very good on my part, I know.

Now, I have loved books ever since I was a child, but none of my friends were ever really into books, and my mum isn't a big reader, so I only ever found new books in the bookshop/library when I was younger, and in recent years have used things like Tumblr, and the suggestions on Amazon. However, in October last year, I stumbled across Goodreads. If you're an internet user who loves books, you've probably come into contact with Goodreads, but I can't believe that until the end part of last year I had no idea what it was! I follow a couple of good book blogs but two of my favourites have to be Chrissi Reads and Me, Bookshelf and I - both have which have links to Goodreads every now and then, which is how I discovered it.

Since I've put into my Goodreads most of the books I've read, it comes up with pretty accurate recommendations for me and books it thinks I'll like. When I went into Waterstones the other day, I saw a book on my to-read list and had to buy it there and then, and so far I'm enjoying it so much, it's so me!

If you don't have an account yet, I'd definitely recommend you sign up, however you have to review 25 books (I think) before you can get any recommendations. Once you're there, feel free to add me as a friend.

Where do you go for book recommendations? What was the last book you really enjoyed?

Let me know!
