I love Goodreads links. For me it's the absolute best and easiest way to quickly decide if I want to read a book or not - a very good thing when I'm about to vote in a book club poll. It has user-listed genres to get a better idea of exactly the kind of book it is, page counts, reviews and ratings that overall I consider more trustworthy and informative than other large review-collecting internet sites, sometimes more info than the blurb provided here, links to other sites to buy the book, sometimes has text and/or audio samples, etc.
Oh, and I second Never Let Me Go, second The Bronze Horseman and third Ali and Nino.
ETA - Hi, Lin and welcome! Nothing special needed to join - just post your nominations like you did. And when the poll goes up you can vote for whichever options you like.
