“A room without a book is like a body without a soul.” Books are a very important part of life; they can be used for learning, entertainment, research and many other things. That's why people are always looking for the next book that will change their lives. People all over the world read; and for people to share the personal experience they've had with a book is every book junkie's dream. There are two very popular websites whose sole purpose is to get other readers around the world to rate the books they have read and give recommendations to other avid readers, these websites are goodreads.com and yournextread.com. These websites are essential for reading oholics looking for their next hit. I believe yournextread.com is more effective in reaching its target audience than goodreads.com. The categories in which they are compared are visual appeal, ease of use, audience, interactivity and quality of information. “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be defeated” Reading is part of everyday life and the sites goodreads.com and yourextread.com allow you to dive even deeper into the literary world by connecting with hundreds of thousands of people who have at least one thing in common; they love books. Both of these websites are attempting to lead book lovers to their next great read; I chose to judge them by this criterion because, as someone who believes that the adventures and journeys books take us on are crucial to developing as human beings, I therefore spend a lot of time on these websites and I think some are better. compared to others. Visual appeal is the first thing a person notices when entering a website... the focus of a paper topic ......lar, and on these websites what the audience is looking for is the next read favorite. Yournextread.com offers a wealth of information about books, authors, as well as personal recommendations and which book inspired that person to read it. On goodreads.com there is a lot of information about the books and personal recommendations, but not much about the author. Some may argue that goodreads.com has more of a section where people can discuss their favorite parts and quotes from the book, but this could ruin the suspense of the book for someone who is thinking of reading it. Both goodreads.com and yournextread.com are great websites for those looking for book recommendations, but I believe that yournextread.com reaches its target audience of avid readers better than goodreads.com. When you're looking for a new book to read, I recommend visiting yournextread.com.
