The site is HUGE. If you have any recommendations to improve this site, Tim and his gang are always ready to listen. There is a group a called "Recommend Site Improvements" at this link:

http://www.librarything.com/groups/recom...

Just talk about what you'd like to see improved and your suggestions for how to do it. They're very responsive.

You will get totally hooked!

I just now noticed a new feature that Tim and his gang here just added. If you click on the top of *my* library view, you will see which books you and I share! What a cool new feature!

I'll tell you how hooked I got and how quickly. I spent one day cataloguing books and then mailed in my $ for a lifetime membership. It's the best bargain on the web.

Madeline, Thank you!! This does look like a big site. It's not quite as aesthetically pleasing as Shelfari, and it seems to be a bit more confusing lol but I know I'll get the hang of it. Thanks for posting about it. I look forward to connecting with you on here some time! I'm going to be busy adding my books to my list now lol. Have a great night!

Hi Kim!

You didn't waste any time. It's really nice to find you here! If you have any questions, please ask.

This site is quite amazing. I discovered it last year and have been hooked ever since. Check out all the nooks and crannies. It's much bigger than it looks. It's even pulled me away a bit from BookCrossing. My hope is to someday meet the small group of people who run this site. They never sleep! :-)

If you go to my Flickr account from my profile page here, you can find a few photos I took at a BookCrossing event I went to last month. It's been really fun meeting online people in person. I've met a few both from LibraryThing and from Bookcrossing over the past few years.
