Thing 12 - Library Thing

I've gotta get me one of these!

Something else to take up my precious time in the evenings and on weekends, but this is so neat! I've been wondering how I could make a listing of my books, and here it is presented for me. As I went along, I kept thinking of Tags and had to keep going back to update (forgot to include fiction/nonfiction, hardcover/paperback first time around). Am not totally pleased with the author's tag - should I have author's name in full, such as John A. Doe, or should I use only the last name, or should I use perhaps Doe, John A? Decisions, decisions.

Heartily approve of this. I read all the tutorials before beginning and it was pretty well intuitive. Though it took me a while to figure out how to change a book cover to the one I really have.

Excellent tool for personal use. Not sure how this would apply for libraries that have cataloging software.
