Thursday, March 01, 2007 LibraryThing - a great idea!

If you're anything like me, you have shelves of books you've read and shelves of books to be read. I'd look at a book, put it back thinking I'd read it, then later discover I hadn't. Or, I'd purchase a book, only to discover I already had a copy. I needed a way to catalog my books. I'm too cheap to buy software, and frankly, I wasn't happy with the way Readerware handled the books.

And then a friend introduced me to LibraryThing.
http://www.librarything.com/

This website allows you to have a free account (up to 200 books, then it's very reasonable) to have a virtual bookshelf. Not only can you list your books, but you can meet others who like the same authors. A myspace for books, if you will. Their customer service is great, as I found out when I emailed them about ebooks that may not be available in Amazon.com and getting those added to the database. To put it simply, for my book cataloging needs this is the perfect solution! Perfect! And, since I know there are many others out there like myself, who have way too many books, I thought I'd mention it so you could see if it worked for you.

That's all. Just a friendly thought from a fellow book addict!
