Pingback: 2009 Book Review « What’s Happening At My House
Have you come across the US site called Library Thing? It is at http://www.librarything.com/ and it is a great free site on which to list, catalogue and comment on one’s own books. I’m gradually trying to catalogue all our books, have added the new ones but there are so many we have had for ages to do too. It’s interesting to see who else has a similar collection too.
Have found your blog site together so will be adding it to my Bookmarks. You have similar targets to me and I find the English blogs more interesting and relevant than US ones.
Regasrds, Madeleine / PixieMum
Hi Madeleine, and thanks for visiting – I’ll return the favour and pop over and visit you soon!
I’ve looked at Librarything a few times, but I tend to pass on books once I’ve read them, so I don’t have a very big collection any more (it was getting a bit out of hand a few years ago, so something had to give!).
Caroline, thanks so much for recommending Room. I really loved it!
WOW that’s a lot of books! I love reading but i’m sure i haven’t read as many books as you
OMG you have a 10 out of 10!!!!
Will HAVE to buy that now!!!
