The rumor is you get to buy the same number of books as the number of years you've been on LT. But only on your Thingaversary! So let us know what you get... :)

My 20th Thingaversary is in 2026! Shocking. 13 August...that was the best bus ride ever, when I read about LibraryThing.

My 18th will be October 6th. I don't even remember where I heard about LibraryThing. I am sure glad I did.

I've been neglecting my Thingaversary for the past few years because my longevity has surpassed my shelf space (and my desire to own more things) so this year I'm going to start a new tradition - on July 11 I'm going to check 19 books out from the library. Watch out, librarians!

Today is my 20th Thingaversary! It is very hard to believe that LT has put up with me for so long!

My 19th Thingaversary was yesterday, which fits nicely with my birthday - 18th - so I am able to combine my book buying for both of those events!
