LibraryThing - You Make My Heart Sing!


Wow - I know what I'll be doing with my spare time for the next while. LibraryThing is wonderful. I've tried various methods of keeping track of my books (owned, want to own, read, want to read, etc.) but I haven't found the perfect way to do it. I think LibraryThing is my answer.

I've only just scratched the surface of all it can do but I'm excited to continue to discover this great tool. I was impressed to find that the settings can be changed to search various sources. When I entered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and only came up with the American edition, I knew I wasn't the only person who wouldn't settle for that. So I did some poking around and found how to search the Canadian National Catalogue and several others Canadian options were available. That did it for me.

It was also very easy to add a widget to this blog to share my library with others. I opted for just a small link (see top right of this page) rather than have the book covers taking up too much space on my blog.

And since I find myself with some spare time today I'm heading back to LibraryThing to research further.

Haha, as if we both noticed the same thing. I searched Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, and was disapointed to see the American covers. I switched it over to the Canadian options, so I could have the Canadian/British cover.
