Top 5 online communities for readers

Social networking is powerful. One-third of the world uses social networks regularly. Studies show that 81% of shoppers use the internet to help them make purchasing decisions.

While physical book clubs and libraries are still very much in existence, online communities for readers make it easy for readers to buy books at cheaper rates, to share the books they are reading and their thoughts about them with a much wider audience.

These communities span across different genres including classics, general fiction, historical fiction, non-fiction, poetry, spiritual, teen fiction among others. So whichever genre you love, you get.

And yes, books on these platforms are super affordable, so you don’t need to substitute your money your lunch money for books.

So, to keep you up to speed with some of the online communities, I have put together five successful online reading communities that you could you join to indulge in your love of reading.

 

1. Wattpad 

iWattspad s a community for readers and writers where one can discover new user-generated stories, spanning across different genres including classics, general fiction, historical fiction, non-fiction, poetry, spiritual, teen fiction among others.

2. Okada books
