I have been a member of goodreads for the past year and I love it! I can keep track of everything I read and everything my friends read- IF they are connected to me. Here is a teen group that shares books with each other.

Here is an example of a book review.

What can we do with this site? · Build your own library of books and categorize them as you like · Read other’s reviews of books · Join or create discussion groups for books · Talk with authors · You can use a widget to post your reviews to your blog site · You can easily start a book club at your school · Great for browsing if you want to find a new book to read Integration · Students can review books for their peers and read other’s reviews · You can easily start literature circles using the discussion group forum · An up-to-date way of keeping a book log · Student can compete to see who has the biggest book count

=BE CAREFUL= · Everyone can see your list of books · You have to monitor student set-up to make sure they don’t share personal information · It is geared toward adults so there may be reviews that are not appropriate for elementary school students (i.e. characters you most want to sleep with is a category of books in the “find books” section). I am still looking for a younger version that is educationally-based. So far there is nothing. You can do a search for content area books.
