I've already blogged about Library Thing, but that was when I first discovered it. Now it's become somewhat of an obsession. My library is up to 108 books, but I know I'm missing quite a few. Dang! I wish I had kept that book diary like I always said I would!
Today out of the blue I remembered a title that I read 3 or 4 years ago. I was so excited to get home and add it to my library. It's such a simple concept, but I'm hooked! I've also started looking at libraries of other people that have read some of the same books. While browsing their libraries I've found titles I've already read and can add to my library. I also see lots of great books that I want to read. I really need to get my hands on The Magician's Assistant and The Alchemist.
There's something about seeing all those covers. When you read a book, you make connections with the characters and even the author. You experience other places and situations. Seeing the cover brings it all back. A friend described it well when she said, "It's like seeing old friends!"
Hey! I just thought of another title! That makes 109!

Since you got me into Library Thing, I thank you and understand! Since I'm maxed out at 200, I'm raising funds for the membership by selling my son's old toys on eBay. The auctions end today so I'm getting ready to keep on adding. It is like going on a treasure hunt...and those covers. You should check out the Book Design Review blog ... it is all about book design. Kind of cool. I think there is a link to it on my book blog.
