Well I have spent a frustrating 30 minutes on The Library Thing...reading posts from like minded crime fiction fans. That wasn't the frustrating part - but the fact that I couldn't get my choices to catalogue and the link kept closing on me...thus no link attached. I can see the value in this task to personally catalogue our books. My husband and I invariably find second hand books by our favourite authors - Jonathon Kellerman, Faye Kellerman, David Baldacci, Harlen Coben - only to discover a chapter or two into it that we have already them. It would be helpful to organize our personal library like this, but let's face it...I'm never going to do that. Who has the time? It was fun to read the post of an elderly lady in Lincolnshire, England who is also a Kellerman fan. She suggested some different authors to try. I will. I suppose kids would enjoy publishing posts of their opinions on books they are reading and sharing their thoughts with the world. How would you use it?
