The Reader’s Place - For Reader’s With Something To Say!
Welcome to The Reader’s Place! We’re an online community for booklovers- of all genres- who are looking for intelligent, informative, thought-provoking discussions. This is your place, so come on in and enjoy!
In addition to our forum discussions, we offer news, reviews and more, making thereadersplace.com the home for readers around the globe!
To complete the package, you’ll find the convenience of buying books from Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble through The Reader’s Place. Our association with these bookstores allows us to offer our members a chance to support TRP. When entering Amazon or Barnes and Noble through one of the links provided, The Reader’s Place will receive a small percentage of the sales which will only be used to keep this site growing and able to offer new features and benefits to our members. This is currently the only means we have to ensure that The Reader’s Place continues to be free to our members and unencumbered by advertising. Of course, we encourage you to continue to shop at your favorite bookstores too! We simply offer the convenience of this option for those who may be interested.
