    It seems the big three reader's sites of Goodreads, Shelfari, and Librarything are now the big two. Shelfari users have two months to move to Goodreads.

    The Shelfari Closure Notice

    I didn't use Shelfari, but while this makes good business sense for Amazon I can't help but think that it is not so good for readers. Everyone encounters books in different ways and all the sites were distinct, as were the communities. I hope the Shelfari users are able to keep their community together on their new sites.

    I'd guess most of them will wind up joining one of the other sites.

    Librarything's offering me free membership but joining them's free anyway.

    It's sad to see it go.
