Activity #11 Library Thing

Oh, where have I been? This is my personal saviour! Well, not quite but my own personal collection now has a home of its own - a place where others can review and I can do the same. The worth of this is endless! Now others can see what the book is about before reading!

Over these holidays I need to read a large number of titles to determine their worthiness for our College collection. I have shared this job in the past but now can see how this can be made so much quicker with reference to other readers and their reviews.

Now, one example is the book called "The Novelist" - a book that I wasn't really interested in reading personally, but after reading the review on Library Thing I thought - hmmmm, this is indeed worth reading. Needless to say, I am infact ENJOYING THIS ONE! I thought I was up for a romance but as this review will tell you it is more than that - and well written and in such an interesting way that it keeps you reading!



Now, another book I actually read for review pursposes only! Was a SASS book. These have been read like nothing in our Discovery Centre and we had them as an older reading title. After reading this, I not only want to go to Italy and just visit all of the places listed - even after google maps and images I could see that the places and tours would be real - no wonder our kids LOVE THESE BOOKS!

Applications for Library Thing are endless both for personal and professional reasons. And it is my personal opinion that ALL OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION MUST BE ADDED! Holiday job #1 in June! Oh dear this is too much!
