Interesting Websites/Links About Books

[Michelle, Too many books, too little time!]

I found today that on the Get Reading website they have been releasing Australia's Top 100 Favourite Reads. They are releasing them gradually all week and it looks as if there are some interesting books on the list so far.

Has anyone seen this website before?

http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/

I warn you that it is one of those nasty sites that will mean an increase in your TBR list if you decide to have a play around with it :-)

Some of these always stump me if I encounter them while reading.

Are you like me and just keep reading if you encounter a hard word and hope that it's meaning will come to you, or do you like to stop and look up words to see what they actually mean before moving on?
