One of my favorite book sites to visit is Book Riot (BR). Hands down, it has one of the best communities of readers that I’ve come across, and the content produced for that site is rich and comes from a diversity of voices. BR describes themselves as such:
We create.- We always prefer the book to the movie.
- We riot as a team.
- We geek out on books, embarrassingly so.
- We’re leaders.
- We practice charity.
- We miss our subway stop cause the book is that good.
- We are non-traditional.
- We believe in family (bookshelves and cats count).
Not only does BR provide book reviews and a wide assortment of discussion columns, it also provides podcasts and sets up some events for readers and others who are in the reading/writing community. This is a particularly helpful resource when it comes to finding feedback on recent happenings in the book world, and joining discussions on trends or particular books. The voices put on display in the pages of Book Riot’s website are diverse, which creates a good context for productive conversations.
