LibraryThing

better late than never!

People have been enthusing to me about LibraryThing for ages, and I've been meaning to set up an account for ages: and now I have.

So far it's just what I've read this year -- and not all of that, because I haven't quite decided if it's a 'books read' list (like the Review Blog) or a catalogue of the books I currently possess. If the former, it'll exclude the books I read but don't own -- two out of twenty so far this year -- and if the latter, it's going to take some time, because my personal book catalogue isn't in a format that I can import!

It's ever so easy to use, though, and it's probably a better way to organise my reviews than a traditional blog format.

And perhaps this'll supersede my venerable Access book database, one day ...

yay for actual libraries! I got quite nostalgic the other day when I came across some photos of my old flat, with its 14-foot wall of double-stacked 6' bookshelves ... some of them in storage, quite a few of them with me and scattered 'round the house, but I do miss the rolling expanse of book-spines, even though I used to feel guilty about not reading enough!
