Google today announced that they made a new feature for users to share the books they are reading on the new Google+ social network. Any book on Google books, whether it is a free or paid book, can be shared with your Circles.
This is a great new feature that allows you to share books with your friends and organize a quick pickup game of literary reading. You can also share book passages and the details, such as cover art and the book description.
So how do you share books and everything else? Simply visit the “About the Book” page on the Google Book listing and click “Share.” While you’re sharing books, you can also +1 them, and the titles will appear in your profile on the +1 tab.
