OK - so I'm in book collector's heaven!!! I tried "Librarything.com". FABULOUS. It lets you search for books both from bookstore sites (amazon.com :>)) and even the LOC. What I like about it is that I always seem to forget the titles of books I have or want to get, so when I get to the bookstore, I always get stuck! With sites like Librarything, you can actually save books over into a "library" of your own, and even group them by categories such as "read but not owned" or " currently reading" and "wishlist". So from now on all I have to do if there is a book I don't want to forget to look for (either in my library, or in a book store) all I need to do is to pull it over into my "virtual" library, and I can retrieve the title as needed! Very cool!
Also, there are also numerous forums - including librarian forums - to share your thoughts about different books, and (much like Amazon) the site will generate recommendations for you based on what's in your library.
I think I'm in book collector's heaven!!!
If you want to check out some of my faves, I did start pulling a few titles into my library. The link is over in the toolbar to the left.
cheers
