I've noticed that, like the number of other topic specific social networks, reading social networks have several options. I've been a devoted "Thingamabrarian" for a couple of years. I've even paid for a lifetime membership which is totally worth it. However, as a newly dedicated book blogger, I wonder if I should join others like Shelfari or Good Reads. I know that some of my online book buddies have accounts with more than one and seem to be active on them as well.  Since, book reviews are also apart of my work life it may behoove me to join at least one other.

Then there are the Ning groups. Thank goodness their setup includes the one depot for keeping track of all the groups you join. I've joined two and one looks very promising so far.

Do my fellow readers that use multiple social networks find that you have a unique set of friends on each network or are they all overlapping? I think this may be THE deciding factor for me.

So many choices. What's a book lover to do?
