Social media for book lovers?
I am a special lover of reading books: both fiction and business.
There was a need to systematize the information received, and to organize the personal library.
I am looking for a social network. The following features are of interest: wishlist (almost everywhere it is, in other matters), a list of read books, quotes, notes, reviews. Recommendations of books (such as on movie search or music on last.fm), interactions with other users (friend feed, etc.).
So far I have found a great option - www.goodreads.com. There is everything you need, but it's a little inconvenient that the western service, and, as a result, there are not so many of our users + few books in Russian have been added (but you can add it yourself).
Bookmate.ru is also a good option. But it's more like a library with social networking features. He also reviewed a number of other domestic and foreign projects.
What other options are there? Or is it worth stopping at the above?

I have to warn you that I am one of the developers of the service, so you can take the following as an advertisement.
escalibro.com/
The service is more for writers, mostly beginner writers, but without readers it's boring. That is, this means that there are no works of classics, famous authors on the site, we only have books / works of people registered with us .
According to your criteria:
- wishlist (at the moment there are only lists of desired / read / read books that are on the site)
- a list of books read (see above)
- quotes, notes, reviews (there are comments on books)
- book recommendations ( not currently, but planned soon)
- interactions with other users:
a) follow-style of observing other participants, that is, mutual confirmation is not necessary
b) blogs
c) private messages
PS If you are interested, but there will be any suggestions / wishes - write to me.
I like this shelfary social network from Amazon more, I think it’s functional enough, I’ve already found a lot of useful books, there are good recommendations.
It would be necessary to save the contents of this topic somewhere, because here is what you are looking for.
Well, and also bookmix.ru, vk.com/bookee, livelib.ru
And maybe it will be useful www.izdat-knigu.ru/uslugi-chitatelyam
KnigoPoisk There is almost everything. Many features coming soon
Try LikeUse . The site positions itself as a recommendation service: books, videos, games.
Just for an example - here is a link to my profile with books:
likeuse.ru/user/4/cat/?cat_id=2555
From the pros:
1) Convenient filtering in the catalog - you can filter (search for books, games, videos) by many parameters at once
2) Convenient addition to your collections (books, games, videos)
3) Convenient scoring
4) You can see who else has rated and statuses (works when you hover over the mouse)
5) Convenient user account - view your own and other people's ratings and statuses
6) The site is fast - filtering in the catalog, displaying catalog pages, affixing ratings, statuses and much more works without reloading the page
7) If something is missing, you can add it to the catalog yourself
Basically, all the minuses from the fact that the project is still very young:
1) Small base of the project
2) There are no recommendations yet, although the developers say that they are working in this direction.
I can advise www.liw.name/books
there, in addition to functions on books, there are also on films www.liw.name/films
You can try the bookella.ru service , it is really developing but allows you to take a different look at the reading process
For 2017, the most modern book social network is https://knigaza.com
The most beautiful virtual personal library with wooden shelves today, customizing the account background, tracking new books in the feed only from those categories that you subscribe to - very convenient! I have tried ALL book social networks for many years - this one is the best in this regard. The only thing is that there is no review base at all, because. site is new.
