I've been looking for a one-place-fits-all website to showcase and promote my books. BookLuver has it all.
Authors can join the site to add their books, but the beauty of the site is that you can use it to showcase any aspect of your book.
Book Luver is a social sharing platform for readers to share books you luv.
It is really easy to add books to Book Luver.
You can use 'boards' to showcase books you've read and luv, add a wish list of books you want to read and follow authors who have posted their books on Book Luver. If you have used Pinterest before, you will see that is is similar to that.
You can repin any book you see on the site, onto your own boards - this works well if you are creating a wish list of books you want to read and you can follow the comments of other readers who have read the book.

How To Manage Your Book Boards In future you can:
- Decide who can add pins to your board.
The options are: Me only (Leave field empty), My friends (Create friends list entering their user profile names). - Find out how to win Amazon vouchers by inviting your friends who luv books
- Who can view my board? The options are All (Leave the field empty), Me only (Enter your user profile name), Me and my friends (Create friends list entering their user profile names).
- If this is confusing at first, leave the options empty until you get a feel for using 'boards' because you can go back at any time and edit your boards. The default allows only you to add pins to your boards and allows everyone to see your boards.
