Gone are the days when society was divided between people who only wanted to be online on social media and people who didn't need this type of resource.
In fact, for a long time – and especially at the time when social networks began to gain more and more popularity in society – there was even a kind of feud between these two audiences.
And this rivalry could easily be defined as follows: while people who were avid users of social media considered the habit of readers to be outdated, book fans considered these social media users to be alienated people.
Although there are still people who have this type of thinking, this rivalry has diminished considerably and these two audiences have gradually merged.

And the proof that this silly and meaningless rivalry is increasingly a thing of the past was the emergence of a platform that brought together the best of both worlds: a social network for readers!
And it is precisely about these platforms that we are going to talk about here!
Throughout the text, you will learn a little more about the emergence of this type of platform and, in addition, we will also learn about 5 social network options that every literature lover should know about!
5 Social Networking Options for Readers That Every Book Fan Should Be a Part of
After the popularization of social networks for photos, messages, videos, dances and even some that combine a little of each of these aspects, it was the turn of book lovers.
So, if you are one of those people who always has a book nearby, this moment is all yours!
Below, we have selected 5 social media options for readers to stay up to date with everything that is happening and also interact with other reading fans!
Skoob, the best-known social network for readers in Brazil
This is probably the most popular social network for readers on our list. Despite its unusual name, Skoob – which is books backwards – is the work of a Brazilian!
Launched in 2009, this social network for readers was developed by Lindenberg Moreira and is considered a collaborative social network.
With Skoob, readers can organize different stages of their reading routine.
The platform allows users to organize the books they have already read, create reading lists with the works they still want to read, mark their reading progress and create their own virtual bookshelf.
And as a good social network should be, with Skoob it is possible to meet people, make friends and even share information and exchange books between users.
It is no wonder that the platform has become one of the main references when it comes to social networks for readers.
Widbook
Are there any book lovers who also dabble in writing and enjoy creating their own works? In that case, Widbook could be the ideal social network for readers for you.
This social network is a little different from the other options we have already presented here in the text, but it is still fascinating!
Widbook is a platform that brings together a collaborative community of reading and writing enthusiasts from all over the world.
There, users can share their ebooks for free and independently. This way, other users can evaluate and even give tips to the writer in question.
One point that really attracts users' attention is the possibility of meeting new people and, at the same time, venturing into a world full of unpublished stories by independent authors.
After all, there are already more than 200 thousand members around the world. In other words: there are thousands of stories available to read and ready to be discovered!
Book Ear
Despite being something that every hardcore reader hates when they do it to their books, Orelha de Livro is another social network for readers that every reading fan should know about.
In addition to the ability to create your own virtual bookshelf, the platform also has a great search tool, allowing you to find the works you are looking for quickly and easily.
And one of the network's distinguishing features is that it has a news feed for its users.
Goodreads
In addition to the national options that we have already shown here, there are also options from platforms outside the country. And one of the ones we chose to highlight here today is Goodreads.
This social network for readers has an entirely English-language website, allowing you to meet users from all over the world.
Very simple to use, through the website you can organize the books you already own, classify them using a rating and also comment on the works with other users of the platform.
It offers the option to create reading lists, where you can organize the titles you still want to read. This way, no title ends up being forgotten or left behind.
And a very interesting feature of Goodreads is the ability to follow which books celebrities and media personalities are reading.
Have you ever imagined discovering that you have the same taste in books as that actor/actress you love?
So, if you are fluent in English and want to meet people who share the same tastes and reading habits as you, this could be a great option!
Furnitures
And last but not least we have Movellas.
In addition to the book options that the other chains listed here offer, Movellas also brings together a vast collection of independent books and poems on various themes and subjects.
Because it is collaborative in nature, this platform is also a great option for those who want to venture into the field of writing and promote their books, poems and short stories.
The network also allows the user to link their other social networks, facilitating access.
