LibraryThing

I love LibraryThing. I have been using it for the past two years and try to use it regularly to keep track of those books I think I might want to recommend to someone. The old way of writing them down in a journal never really worked for me as I never had it close by when I was thinking about it and then would promptly forget the name of the book when I did. However, I am almost always near a computer! I set up an account initially to become aware of it and now I think it is one of the greatest sites ever for book lovers. I've used it for Reader's Advisory for customers and being the visual person I am, having the book covers to see also helps me remember the book. In fact, I used LibraryThing today in coming up with a book to talk about at our staff meeting. What I think is funny is that one of the members that has many of the same books I do, I think is a staff member at Fish Creek but I haven't identified them yet! Actually, I discovered the website BookMooch through this person and I loved finding about a site where books can be exchanged.
