I have spent the past few weeks polishing this website up and adding enough features so that it's presentable. What my website will do is tell you how long it will take you to read a book based on its approximate word count and your reading rate in words per minute. If you don't know what your reading rate is, we can find that out too!
I'd be grateful if any of you would check it out and tell me what you think, any suggestions, praise, hate, etc.

I'm in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, and even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it's difficult to analyse love when you're in it. - John Steinbeck

Re: Created this website to tell you how long any book will take you to read
Hi Putman,
Thanks for sharing your site. It looks very sleek and the idea is cool. I noticed you're using ISBN to search a book. Does this mean you can look up any book with an ISBN or only one assigned to a specific geographical location?
By the way, I'm a writer and too started a website. My website http://www.laptiast.com/ promotes my writing and authors who write Dystopian Fiction, Science Fiction, Grit Lit Fiction, and Philosophical Fiction.
Best to you,
Brooks

I checked out your website, it looks good as well! One thing I would recommend is moving away from weebly and getting a dedicated wordpress install. I added your book "Sunset in Sylvan Park" to my reading list.

No affiliation with Goodreads, I just have access to their API and ergo I can query them for user's lists. Most of the book information is from Amazon apart from a few hundred titles of which I've entered in the information myself!Chris OConnor wrote:I love this concept! Are you affiliated with Goodreads?

Re: Created this website to tell you how long any book will take you to read
Thanks for adding my book and thanks for the advice. The feedback is appreciated. I have considered moving to something dedicated and have briefly explored Wordpress. Weebly is nice because of ease of use. Does WP allow for drag and drop? From your perspective, what is the overall advantage of going with WP?One thing I would recommend is moving away from weebly and getting a dedicated wordpress install.
