Shelfari is a site where you can create a virtual shelf of books (which could be books you have in your library or even books you want to have), rate and review your books, meet people who like the same books you do, and even join discussion groups and online book clubs. It is similar to LibraryThing which we blogged about a few months ago.

Since we get requests to have our inventory online all the time, we thought we could make use of these excellent features and upload our titles to our own Shelfari shelf. (For now, we prefer to use Shelfari because it allows us to have an unlimited number of books on our shelves.) Our virtual shelf does not represent our entire inventory just yet. For now it contains our later additions and titles we want to highlight. Starting now, our website will have, on the right side, a short list of titles from our Shelfari shelf.

You can join Shelfari too, of course. It’s a great way to keep track of what books you have, which you lent out, the titles you plan to read next, etc. If you do join, add Booktopia as a friend. Or, if you get an invitation from us to be a friend on Shelfari, we hope you’ll say “Yes.”
