Even though I don’t have a Tiny Cat library, I still love and celebrate 10 years! Happy Birthday Tiny Cat! ♥️

Does LibraryThing/Talk count? Or do you have a Discord server?

>2 Some1LikeYou: I'm finding it easier to search TinyCat than the LT iOS app, and it's quicker than the full website on my phone...

>6 Maddz: This looks like a lot of fun! :)

>7 Maddz: I definitely agree, it's more what people expect from searching a library in some ways.

I'm obviously biased, but I would recommend TinyCat to anyone who likes to lend books from their personal library or share their collections widely with friends. Especially if those I'm sharing with don't have a LibraryThing account yet. Obviously, LT is good too — they're different experiences.

I also tend to go to TinyCat first when I'm checking to see if I have a book or not; since I probably spend more time in TinyCat than LibraryThing at this point!

Hmm, let's see if this works. I'd better TinyCat tag it, too?

>10 ZephCraven: Thanks. It's https://www.librarycat.org/lib/bnielsen/item/286130881 and once upon a time I worked for a small graphics company where we tried to make stuff like that on a Linotype style computer program. :-)

The "book" here is a poster of the entire text of the Hobbit. With indentions in the text creating both the title and the silhouette of Smaug. So the cover and the book is the same.

That's even cooler than I would have guessed!

Hi! This is my favorite book series so far... I have just started book 7. Happy Birthday TinyCat! I love having LT for organizing my horde of books!
