It sounds similar to GoodReads.com which I found out about on this list. It 
does not seem to be the most screen reader friendly site in the world, but 
there was only one feature that I was unable to use and that feature is of 
minor importance to me. If you are not familiar with it then check it out.

I like to look at other people's lists of books they have read, so I 
started keeping my own several years ago. Recently I found a site called 
bookarmy.com
 but I suspect it is unfriendly to speech or a braille display in the way 
you rate books because you type the book or beginning of the title of the 
book
into a box and a hovering box (I don't know what they're called or perhaps 
I do but I'm too tired to think right now) appears and you have to click the
title from that hovering box. I am not sure how this would work with 
speech. But then once you click the title, then you go over and click how many 
stars
you rate the book. Later they will list people who also liked or read a 
book you liked. Then I like to click on their name and see what books they 
like,
to find new books I might want to read. Not that I am ever without books I 
want to read, of course. I have given up believing that I will live long 
enough
to read all of my books so I've kind of given up buying used books to read 
and just check them out at the library now.
