LibraryThing Loving

Today our assignment was to get involved in LibraryThing. Now THIS is something I really gravitate to...books, organization, and it's all at my fingertips! I only added 12 books because I wanted to get several authors listed and I could have EASILY put in 20+ books from just one author. (Also, I am going into my lunch hour as I was having so much fun!) I like the idea of being able to keep the books I read "cataloged" in an orderly manner in a place that I can readily access. I can see this type of thing be very useful to a library patron. In fact, when I was working bookmobile the other day, I had a patron moaning about the fact that she couldn't remember if she had read a book and wished that the library could keep a list of what she had checked out in the past. I too, suffer from the same problem as in too many books, too short a memory.
I really couldn't find anything that I didn't like about this site except that I couldn't find the suggester but I was running short on time so I will go back later and keep adding books and find it. Then I will blog some more.
Thanks for this lesson...it is one I will use!!!!!
