BookRix – A Community For Book Lovers & Wannabe Authors
November 20, 2009 - 3:10pm — Pete
MakeUseOf.com story, about the new site, Book Rix, a social network for bibliophiles.
"Commonly all book lovers sites revolve around a community. An online ‘town square’ meet-up to see what others are reading and why they reading it. If you club together a few likeminded book lovers, you are bound to come across a lot of books.
BookRix is just such a book lovers website, a community platform where you can read, rate and rant away on books. BookRix is also a place where new authors can present their own works. In that respect BookRix acts like an online publishing house for free via the medium of the browser."
