If you're on the hunt for something new and interesting to read, you have plenty of places to go. This week, we're looking at four of the best book recommendation sites, based on your nominations (提名)．
Goodreads
Goodreads is more than just a book recommendation site, although it excels at helping you find new books to read based on the ones you enjoy. You can build a virtual “shelf” of books you own or have already read, share your progress with the books you're currently reading, rate the books you've read, leave reviews, and connect with other readers.
BookBub
While BookBub isn't strictly a book recommendation site, it does bring you superlow cost books based on your interests every day. The service is free, and when you sign up, you tell BookBub what kinds of books you like to read. From there, you'll get an email from BookBub every day with book deals for that day. When we say “deal”， we mean it — many of BookBub's titles are free entirely, $0.99, or just a couple of bucks.
LibraryThing
LibraryThing has been around for a long time and is still a great userpowered book rating, review, and recommendation site. The service calls itself the world's largest book club, and that's a lot like the overall feel. Once you sign up, you'll be encouraged to start adding books you've read and leave reviews for them. Behind its book ratings and reviews though, LibraryThing is a powerful tool to catalog and organize your entire book collection.
Olmenta
If you're not interested in registering for accounts, adding your own books, or any of that hassle (麻烦), Olmenta can suggest some solid titles to you based on general popularity and the citations of the people behind the site. It's a simple list of book covers that the service thinks you should read, and a few genres you can click on if you're looking for something specific, like business, fiction, theatre, poetry, or nonfiction, among others.
【文章大意】 该文介绍了四个最佳书籍推荐网站。
【难句分析】 While BookBub isn't strictly a book recommendation site, it does bring you superlow cost books based on your interests every day.
分析：本句是一个复合句。While引导让步状语从句，译为“虽然，尽管”。本句的主句是一个强调句，即对谓语动词bring的强调，助动词does单独放在谓语前，谓语用动词原形。
译文：尽管严格地说，BookBub不是一个书籍推荐网站，但是它的确可以根据你的兴趣每天给你提供超低价钱的书籍看。
