Features: ConnectviaBooks is a book rating service that also allows you to connect and meet people based off of their literary preferences. The site has a small community and has very little activity.

The members are allowed to create booklists, rate, message, build profiles, and participate in their forum. Additionally books and members are recommended to the user, which is a slight differentiator.

Review: ConnectviaBooks takes a slightly different approach to the book rating and recommendation game by making it a little bit more about connecting with people. Sadly though that isn’t enough of a differentiator to really give this site much traffic.

Also design wise it has a little bit older feel to it. The navigation is simple though. There just isn’t enough of a community to make this site worthwhile.
