    ReadingRadar.com - Finding Out What To Read Next

    readingradar

    If you don’t want to miss a single book of note that is released (and you know I do), a site like this one is the perfect tool. Basically, Reading Radar is a mashup that compiles a list of notable releases using the The New York Times Best Sellers API, and provides you access to Amazon services for reading reviews and purchasing each title online.

    The opening screen details the books that are attracting the most attention, and you are told how long each title has been on the bestsellers list. A rating is likewise provided, as it is fit.

    On the other hand, a navigation menu will let you have your pick from categories like “Fiction”, “Nonfiction” and “Advice”. In every case, you can make a choice from hardcover and paperback editions. There are also picture books available, and the same goes for chapter books.

    All in all, any person who has a soft spot for books can benefit from a visit to a site like this one. I know because I did, and found titles that I might not have come across that easily otherwise.

    In their own words

    “Reading Radar is a Mashup by John Herren, powered by The New York Times Best Sellers API, Amazon Web Services, JQuery, YUI, and the Maintainable Framework.”

    Why it might be a killer

    Any self-respecting book lover will have his needs duly covered by a service like this one.

    Some questions

    How can the site become more social?
