Web Crush of the Week: Bookgasm
Posted by: Rebecca Vnuk

We mentioned this week’s Web Crush of the Week, Bookgasm, on our original site way back in 2009 and wanted to revisit it.     I’m sad that they no longer link to their “About Us” page, because it used to say, “Hey, have you read the new Nora Roberts? Are you a member of Oprah’s […]

Web Crush of the Week: LibraryReads
Posted by: Karen Kleckner Keefe

The best thing about LibraryReads is the awesome monthly recommendation list.  The second best thing is their tagline.  Not sure what LibraryReads is?
