Welcome.
You might try using touchstones on your titles. Put them in square brackets and they become links that people can use to go to the book's page.
E.g.

Atlas ShruggedWelcome both to Library Thing and to our group!
I enjoyed it. When I began it I figured it would be one I would take forever to actually finish. I have it on Kindle and this is the first time I added notes and thoughts of my own. Current events make this a "must read" in my humble opinion. Let me know what you think.
Thanks for the input. I hope to get it from the library soon.
ETA: I discovered the book through reading
Glenn Beck's Common Sense, a book I highly recommend. You might want to give it a read - it goes fairly quickly.

Stasia, out of curiosity, I looked up
Glenn Beck's Common Sense at our library. There were 82 reserves. Now there are 83. Sounds like a good rec.
#8: I hope you like it, Terri!
Welcome!
How did you like
Afraid? I just finished it and am curious as to what other people think.
I liked Afraid. I happened upon it as a free Kindle download. It made me think of what possibly could happen if Dean Koontz, Stephen King and John Saul met for coffee and the barista turned out to be Peter Straub.
lol :) Very well put. I liked it as well. I'm interested in what else Jack Kilborn has to offer. I have a short story of his as a PDF that I downloaded at some point - might bump that up for one of my next reads.
