Thing 11: Library Thing

Love it! I've already mentioned I have a Google Books page where I entered a few books, but this site is free from the commercialism of Google. I loved the ease of adding books and my long cherished dream of actually cataloging all of my books (two or three thousand, probably) has revived. The rating system is super-easy and the social networking aspect is cool.

I checked out the YA book groups. There is some real variety. I chuckled when I saw the Hogwarts group was the most active. That's staying power.

I couldn't resist checking out the person at the top of the list of people with my same books. Judging by her titles, she's apparently Spanish, a new or expecting mother, possibly a paramedic, interested in public speaking.

I add the Library Thing widget to my blog. Take a look!

  1. Wouldn't it be fantastic to begin using LibraryThing with 1st and 2nd graders and continue through high school? I think it would be such a thrill through memory lane to see all of the books read and be able to even tag them by year read or genre. We can always start now, I suppose ;-) Have fun!
