Thing 13: Library Thing

I added a few books to my new account at LibraryThing. And no I don’t really intend to prepare any of the recipes in the Martin Howard book. This was very easy to use and I love that it is so easy to search international Amazon sites because sometimes books aren’t available in the US. Most of my books are fairly obscure editions so they weren’t very popular. Will Ferguson’s book Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw did have a discussion from March 2008 about travel narratives by the GenX in PDX: A Librarians Book Group. I checked the LibraryThing Local for Ocala and didn’t find any events listed. I checked a few other Florida cities (Gainesville and Orlando) and didn’t see any events.

I think LibraryThing would be very useful for book promotion and event promotion in the new Local section. I could definitely use this to keep track of my books at home.

I checked out GoodReads and was amused to see Twilight in the Best Books Ever list and the Worst Books of All Time list.
