#11 Library Thing

Greetings once again reader! Ever since I started working at the Library I have slowly been noticing changes in myself. My room is more orderly, my clothes are folded and put away, my DVD collection is alphabetised by title. Ironically though due to ever decreasing space as my collection increases my books have defied this new found mania for order. No more! Library Thing allows me to impose an order on my unruly collection which I could physically never attain. I found it quite addictive, first I added three books, then three more, now a dozen. All are displayed with a picture of the cover, general title/author information and a rating (although this is less helpful than it sounds, obviously if you own a book you are probably going to rate it pretty highly) along with a display noting how many other members own this book and how many reviews there are for it. You can then click on the authors name and see a list of all their works, with a nice big tick next to the ones on your shelf. You can also see which other members libraries have most titles in common with yours. I discovered one person who shared four of the twelve books I had loaded. I then snooped into their collection and discovered many more titles of theirs that either I own or have read. I loved playing around with this site, the only drawback is you can only add two-hundred titles before you have to pay. I do not know how many books I own but it must be rapidly approaching this limit. Only one way to find out . . .
