I really enjoyed The Library Thing website. I have tons of books, and not enough shelves in my house to keep them all out. So while they are packed away in boxes, I can have my virtual shelves here on my blog, and now see my books every time I log in. It was very easy to set up an account, and adding books was very quick and easy also. Adding the widget took a bit of time for me to figure out, but now that I have done it, I could do it again much quicker.
I spent some time looking through the groups, and was surprised at how many groups there were for setting goals of how many books to read during 2009. I keep track of what I read each month, but setting a goal of 50, 75 or even 100 books during the year really inspired me! I am contemplating joining the 50 Books in 2009 group.
I can't wait to add all of my books, only added about 40 so far.

I think it would be fun to set a goal for myself, and also for my students and teachers. I am doing Battle of the Books at both of my campuses this year. The Library Thing might make my life a bit easier if I can leave discussions/comments for my kids at both campuses to read.
ReplyDeleteYou have really read alot of books! I love James Patterson! It is fun to see what books other people read! The digital inventory is also very useful.
