Library Thing--anyone on it?

[Koalapupu]

Do you have a Library Thing account?

What is Library Thing?

It's a place where you can catalog all of your books and then you can send the link to people to share your bookshelf with them. It's really handy if, say, you want to sell some books: you can just link to the Library Thing where you have created a subsection for books on sale.

You can also review books, leave comments and even check who has the same books as you do. I think there is also a blogging option.

I think I'll just use it to keep tabs on what I have in my shelves. Which is not much.

I thought I created one ages ago but now it doesn't recognize me... So back to the drawing board. I'll post my Library Thing here once I get it done. Entering the books can be a bitch, but it's fun make-work if nothing else

EDIT: Ok, you should be able to access my Library Thing from here. It's unfinished and the tags suck, but it's a start!

Oh cool! When I get a chance to sit at my own computer for a minute or two I'll get started on my own account!

I've seen a site similar to it, where you could also catalog your cd and movie collections.
I'm gonna start mine right now! hehe

Edit: ROFL!! #19# oh man - this WAS that site I was talking about - except I was wrong about the cd and movie lists... that must've been a totally different site. But I decided to type in my usual username and password I use often, and it signed me in! I already have a bunch of books in there too... duh...

What a nimrod.

Ok, you can see mine here

But I was pretty bummed that I couldn't add a few titles by New Zealand authors who weren't in the stupid database

^LOL! You're not a nimrod, though I do like that word.

Hehehe, great!

By the way, I didn't add a bunch of Finnish books or Finnish translations of books either, but they surprisingly had one Finnish library database there which I added, and it's been quite ok. There's not one for New Zealand you could add in your databases list? That's a bummer.

EDIT: Does anybody know whether you can organize your books in alphabetical order according to the author? I'd like that much more than just having the list be titles in alphabetical order. I'm contemplating whether I'd like this enough to buy the lifetime membership ($25) and get some other perks then. I have to browse around their discussion sections to see how the community is first. I still haven't looked into anything else there but my own catalogue.

I don't know, they may have some of the better known NZ authors, but I don't think the few books I had were by very well known people? Actually, one of the particular authors was in there, but not the title I have.
