I thought I’d share my Amazon Wishlist.  I don’t expect anyone to get me anything, I just always find it interesting to see what people are interested in reading!

The age old question . . . well, since the internet came around.  Do prefer to go to the bookstore and actually feel the books, or does the convenience of online shopping distract you?

I LOVE books, and I love bookstores.  I can spend hours at Barnes and Noble.  However, I often walk out with about four times the number of books I told myself I could have, so it’s a place I try not to go to often.

Amazon.com, on the other hand, is probably my favorite website.  I can always find great deals, I’m a member of Amazon Prime so, I get things with free 2 day shipping (WELL worth the $75/year), and I have an Amazon.com credit card, so for every $1 I spend I get s free penny to Amazon.com - and since I use my credit card for EVERYTHING, it doesn’t take long until I’m getting free $25 for Amazon.com!

So, I tend to go both ways.  Which way do you prefer?

Ever needed a way to catalog all your books just so you knew what you had? There is an EASY way to do this now - and it’s free! It’s called LibraryThing, and it’s a website that allows you to completely manage your personal library. You enter in the ISBN for your book and it looks up all the information for you from either the Library of Congress or Amazon (your pick). Then it adds it to your collection! If you want, you can add tags to your books, label them with their Bookcrossing BCID numbers, and even see who else owns that book! There’s a feature to connect you with popular book swapping sites if you decide you want to swap for something else, and there are places to discuss books, authors, anything “library” related!

I’ve got my library started, though I have quite a long way to go to get everything added. I like how the call numbers are a part of the book info because that is how I have arranged my personal library. It’s easy to find any book now!!!

Easily cataloging my books online so I can access them anywhere? Works for me!
