Do Your Thang Honey **EXTENDED**

Have you set up your LibraryThing account? What is LibraryThing, you ask?

LibraryThing is a new site for book lovers.

It’s basically two sites in one.

LibraryThing helps you to create a library-quality catalog of your books. You can do all of them or just what you’re reading now.

And because everyone catalogs online, they also catalog together. LibraryThing connects people based on the books they share

Since you ask Fi, no I they aren’t paying me but they are letting me give away a year subscription (yes it is only $10 bucks to get an account for a year but winning is fun!)

Set up your free librarything account. You can add up to 200 books (for free) and post the link in this thread by September 30th. The winner will be randomly picked (on Oct 1st) from the posts and will win a paid account for a year. Then you can add allllllll your books!

Anyone can post a link to their free account! If you have already paid for an account, post a link anyway and let us go take a peek at your bookshelf. Cuz it is fun (but you can’t win)! You can find nifty info, new stuff and tricks for your blog (like the new search box) at their blog.

Thanks go to Tim for creating such a nifty site (and letting me give away an account)!

    One thing that keeps me from moving to Library Thing (well, 2 things). 1. It doesn’t seem that I can designate the books that I want to show up. It’s all random and 2. sometimes it seems to prevent websites from loading or makes it load slowly.

    I also love library thing and have a lifetime membership. It seems I’m always cataloging my books and adding new tags.

    OH I love LibraryThing too – just discovered it. I don’t mind the random thing at all. Cool stuff.

    Jane, there is a way that you can specify which books show up by having a specific tag, and then putting that tag in your widget.

    I haven’t done it myself but I know other people that have. It’s just a case of playing with it a little.

    I love the widget, which unfortunately doesn’t work in LiveJournal. So I’ve set it up in my blogger blog, even though I post there less and it isn’t so much about reading.

    I’ve started one in the free 200 but can’t figure out where to put it in the blog.

    Love this when I found it too! I have so much more to put in and much more organizing to do!

    Anyway here’s my link:

    Neat idea! There’s no real rhyme or reason to the list I have so far. I have thousands more to enter, so it’s gonna take me a long time.
