LibraryThing

The site LibraryThing was really awesome.  After playing with it for a little while I even recommended it to a friend who loves to read and make connections within the reading community.  I added a few of the books that I have read recently into the site and the information that the site gives you about other members having the book was great.  The book The Ice Maiden by Johan Reinhard has only 27 other members and only 1 review whereas Incarceron by Catherine Fisher has 1,166 members and 96 reviews.  Each of the books had tag clouds that showed what others had used when tagging this particular book.  I especially enjoyed the recommendations section because I tend to get into a groove and read books with a particular theme or within a certain genre of writing.  So finding books that fall within that groove can sometimes be difficult.  The various ways in which to view your books was also nice.  The list enable me to look at the cover, title, author, my tags, and other interesting information.  The book covers were nice as well even though they say not to judge a book by its cover it happens all of the time.  The tags listing was great because as a Librarian I put books within various categories all day long so I like being able to make my own tags and grouping my books by them.  Overall this site was really wonderful and I'm going to keep on using it.
