The Library Nook Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 ok I found it - I swear that was not there before??? lol that's becoming a common quote with LT! Quote
princessponti Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 ..I've just been playing with the LibraryThing 'bookmarklet' ..you add it to your favourites, and when you're in amazon and find something you want, you can click it and it'll plop it into your catelogue! ...Librarything is amazing!!! number 7, in the tools tab Quote
The Library Nook Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Wow brilliant! Keep this tips coming lol! Quote

princessponti Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I thought it was just me!! I could get into my favourites by dragging and dropping it, but to get it onto my toolbar it was more difficult. Johnny right clicked on an existing link I had on the toolbar and selected properties. Then he right clicked on the librarything link and selected properties. On the 'general' tab for both you have the address (URL). He swapped the librarything link address for the other one and it worked easy peesy!! ...He also changed the name of the link to read Add to Librarything to stop confusion... I hope this helps! It was quite straight forward really, just not sure I explained it well!! Let me know how you get on. Of to read Russell now.. see you guys tomorrow xx Quote
JudyB Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks Princess - I seem to have managed to do it a different way - I added it to favourites by right clicking, then found a book on Amazon and while on that page I clicked the link in favourites - does that make sense? It seems to have worked as the book has come up in the 'add books' section. Quote
princessponti Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Yay! I can see it would be really useful when shopping, I always see things I want when buying for others! Quote
happyanddandy Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 There are 6 books available to request for Brits on Early Reviewers if you are interested Quote
happyanddandy Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Am being sent a book via Early Reviewers called 'In Search of Adam' by Caroline Smailes. Sounds a bit harrowing according to Amazon reviews Quote
JudyB Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I'm lucky enough to be sent The Blackest Bird: A Novel of History and Murder by Joel Rose. Sounded good in the write up - more Victorian mystery if I remember rightly. Quote
Kell Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I'm being sent the same one as you, Judy. Quote
Michelle Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I'm getting In Search of Adam - not sure what I'll think of it, but it's certainly had good reviews. Quote
JudyB Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I'm being sent the same one as you, Judy. We'll be able to swap notes Quote
Michelle Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 This is interesting, a thread discussing how people are chosen. Factors that suggest someone likely to review a book, and talk about it widely, on LibraryThing and elsewhere. So, being a member on here, and especially someone who writes reviews, may help a little. Quote
happyanddandy Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 They have just added Librarything local which lists bookshops, veues and what's on in your area - very useful Quote
JudyB Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Oh that's what it is! I clicked on mine and it didn't do anything. Quote
happyanddandy Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Oh that's what it is! I clicked on mine and it didn't do anything. Hmm... I wonder why? Did you try the tab next/near to Zietgeist? Quote
JudyB Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I've tried it again in profile and it worked this time thanks. It's a nice idea. Quote
Kylie Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Very cool! I didn't think it would show much for me, but there are plenty of bookshops listed, including some I've never heard of. Quote
happyanddandy Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 March Early Reviewers books now available - quick!! Quote
happyanddandy Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I've snagged another Early Reviewer book - it's called 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee' by Rebecca Miller Looks interesting Quote
JudyB Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Snap - just found out I'm getting that book also - can't believe I've managed to get another. Quote
Michelle Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Aww, I didn't get one this time.. and I'm still waiting for Feb's book! Quote
happyanddandy Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I don't have my Feb one yet either. Looking in the Early Reviewers talk it seems you can wait quite a while. Some people get very upset if they don't get a book! Quote
JudyB Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I'm reading my Feb book at the mo - it's slow progress - been busy with work etc but I will have some time on my own later in the week and hope to make progress - especially with another book on the way. Quote
