VanessaL Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I was thinking of listing my books that I have read and unread books on the internet, and was wondering what website you use for this, and which is the best one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I was thinking of listing my books that I have read and unread books on the internet, and was wondering what website you use for this, and which is the best one. Goodreads or Library Thing are both very popular Vanessa, I know a lot of peeps on here are members of either one or both of them (including me), I've just started on Goodreads (my username is 'Charmy') and it appears to be the better one for me so far.

pickle Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I use goodreads although haven't updated for ages as I got to 500 books read and gave up for a bit I couldn't keep up and never had time to do reviews. I am known as Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnybooks Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I've just joined goodreads so I am still figuring out how it all works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I use LibraryThing and even purchased an unlimited membership, since I knew I was going to go way over the 200 free membership limit (I'm somewhere just under 700 books catalogued at this point). I really like LT, as it lets me have total control over what my library looks like, how it's catagorized, and what cover art is used. I'm on there as artbunny.

VanessaL Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thank you for your help, I have looked into goodreads and library thing, and I prefer goodreads, I put a lot of books on there yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I really like LT, as it lets me have total control over what my library looks like, how it's catagorized, and what cover art is used. I'm on there as artbunny. I love LT for the same reasons. I much prefer LT's cataloguing system to Goodreads, where it is sometimes harder to find my exact edition, and I don't like the number of different font styles used there. That said, I prefer Goodreads for the conversations and reviews, and for the different lists you can find there. It also allows me to add in what page number I'm up to and set a challenge etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainGirl Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I use library thing. I like it because I used to try to remember every book I've ready now I don't have to. Also it's good for a quick review when I'm wondering about a book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppyshake Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I use goodreads - slightly addicted to it. Me too I am on LT too but find I'm more at home at goodreads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenblack Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think I should be in Readers Social Networkoholics Anonymous (or something like that) because I belong to Goodreads, Library Thing and Shelfari. I agree with Kylie about Goodreads and Library Thing. I think Shelfari is the most aesthetically pleasing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 My stay with Shelfari was pretty short-lived. I found it nearly impossible to find the correct covers for my books, and I really like to have my info as accurate as possible. Perhaps things have improved now that it has been around longer (I was a member years ago) but I'm happy with GR and LT now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Reader Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I did use one on facebook I think it was called Bookshelves but I never kept it updated and always use my book journal for reference anyway. Good old fashioned pen and paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I use Library Thing, and find it very useful. I keep all of my books listed on there. I also use GoodReads, but that's more a way of keeping track of what I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 If goodreads was ever shut down, I think I'd be devastated! I can't do without it anymore. We'd just have to start up our own site. I did use one on facebook I think it was called Bookshelves but I never kept it updated and always use my book journal for reference anyway. I tried one of those Facebook things too but I never kept it updated either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
