Week 8 - The Library Thing

Checked out the library website.

Here's my library :)





This is a free website where you can catalog up to 200 books (just key in the title, if you know exactly what it is, or you can input a keyword and do a serach). It's lie your personal library - complete with displays of book covers. You can also give the book a rating, and write a review if you wish. Perhaps before purchasing a book, you can go into the website, and see what others have to say about it (do a book review or post a message). If it's interesting or useful, etc. Also, with a system of tags, you can locate books of the same variety, if you are searching for a particular topic, say "parenting" or "children". You can see who's reading the same sort of books you have tagged and possibly connect with them. (I have just clicked on this tab - add a friend, and well, email has been auto sent out to someone who also used an ADHD tag).

Good website for authors to connect with their readers and for publishers to distribute free copies of new books and get readers to review them.

I have added 4 books to my library and created a widget to showcase them in my blog. Captain Underpants is a good read if you are in a mood for comics and need to destress, hi-action and the kind of stuff which would turn you right back to a kid.
