18. Library Thing

For item #18, we are supposed to visit Library Thing and take the tour of the site.  Library Thing is a lot like a site that I already use- GoodReads (which I will blog about for item #19).  You sign up and then create a library of your books and  books that you want to read.  It has a lot more details for the books than GoodReads and it lets you modify or add things to a book entry, which GoodReads doesn't allow.  I also liked the idea of the Local tab, which lists book-related events and venues, but there were only events for Henrico libraries listed and some of the venue listings were out of date (e.g. Borders as a local bookstore).  As a whole, I liked Library Thing but probably wouldn't use it as I already use GoodReads.
