GroupsEarly Reviewers, Librarians who LibraryThing, Newbery Challenge

About me I'm a librarian at a small state university and a member of two book clubs, one remotely (the other members are 2000+ miles away, where I used to live). I use LibraryThing to track the books I read.

Thanks so much for your message. I hope that you will get a chance to read "A Thousand Veils." If you do, please let me know when you have completed it, and I will send you a copy of the discussion points.

Hi, Your welcome. We don't get enough feedback, good or bad, from our reviews here (or anywhere else, I imagine). Regarding my library, thanks for the compliment, but the variety of my library is not by intention! :D Just chance. Books seem to find a way of getting dumped at our house from relatives and friends...er, and book stores.

Nice graduation gift! "Goodbye to a River" is one of my absolute favorite books. I've been looking for books on the same kind of themes - vaguely naturalist/historical and pondering.
Hi, I came across your review of The Glass Castle and thought it was really well done. So, I looked some of your other reviews here, and they are fantastic. Each one has really good information, even books with low star ratings have good quality reviews. Anyway, just writing to let you know I enjoyed them. Cheers,d
WOW, thanks for both the tip on the window and also specifically, the link to One Minute Book Reviews, a site I was unfamiliar with but that looks very interesting and worth going back to when it's not 2:30 a.m. - ER
Free membership does not make a difference. At the moment, the only extra thing that paid membership gives you is the ability to add more books. Other than that, you have as much freedom as everyone.

The instructions below are for Firefox, but I don't think that Internet Explorer differs at all.

Step 1: Visit www.maploco.com; choose you display style (using the drop-down list); choose your dot style (using the drop-down lists); press the 'Create it!' button.

Step 2: You now see a set of three boxes with HTML code below the 'Create it!' button. The information you need is in the top box labeled 'Copy & Paste this code into your profile or site!'. Highlight the entire contents of the box. (You will need to scroll down a little.) Copy this using one of [ctrl]-[c]; right-click - Copy; or Edit>Copy from the menu.

Step 3: Return to your Profile page. You can now adjust how your page is configured by clicking on 'Edit profile/account settings' at the top right. The code that you've copied can now be pasted into the 'About my library' box. ([ctrl]-[v]; right-click - paste; or Edit>Paste from the menu.) If you want, you can get rid of the <br> bits and replace them with carriage returns.

Step 4: Once all your other display options are chosen, press the 'Save changes' button at the bottom of the screen. Et voila!

Hope that helps. If you still have problems, get back to me.
