My book tag cloud from LibraryThing. I wouldn't call it my year of reading but it is definitely a good portion.

This is funny. I joined Facebook 12 years ago and this was one of my very first posts there. You can guess which one I like more 📚. Although I‘ve always primarily used LT for cataloguing books, not socializing.

And what books did I add that day? I had to look. Basically all the mysteries— Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Although I joined LT in February 2008, apparently it took me a few months to gradually add all my books 🙂🙃🙂

BarbaraBB Adding my books to LT was a wonderful time 😍😀 4y

ValerieAndBooks @BarbaraBB when did you join? When I did, I had to add them all manually on the computer 😂. But it was still fun. Amazing how much technology has changed in 12 years. 4y

BarbaraBB Oh yes, me too. I joined in 2010. I still add them manually on the computer, I never use the app... I always forget about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y

ValerieAndBooks @BarbaraBB I use both to add books 😊. And the app has saved me a few times from buying duplicate books 🤣 4y

BarbaraBB That is true, the app comes in good then 😀 but somehow I still prefer to add them the old fashioned way. It‘s still one of my favorite sites! 4y

I'm getting sooo excited about reading in 2020! I had been in a slump and hadn't added a book to Library Thing since 2018. I'm still not convinced that meticulous tracking and counting is the thing for me, but I'm going to try low key and simple this year. Gonna discard some tags and rethink some things.

audiobooklover Since I would be new to librarything, can you explain what it is? 5y

Sace @audiobooklover are you in there or do you need more info before joining? It's very much a catalog site. Not as many bells and whistles as good reads. 5y

Sace This is new. I paid for a lifetime membership ($25) And really it's always been free to catalog up to a certain number of books. One thing I really enjoy about Library thing is the lack of self promoting, self published authors 🤣 5y

I'm late to the Library Thing game, but I'm very much over Goodreads. I wanted something less social media more book organization. So here I am on Library Thing updating and adding books and tagging and basically nerding out 🤷‍♀️

rretzler I love LibraryThing. I‘ve been a member for about 8 years now and it has so many more advantages than GR. The only thing I like about GR is that is is easier to pick the actual book edition that you are reading and I like the annual summary. Other than that LT is the way to go. You should check out the 75 Books Challenge Group. Very nice group of people and you don‘t actually have to read 75 books! 5y

cj82487 @rretzler yea I'm finding it a lot more pleasing to the eye. I like that I can look at my library and see all the book covers and that if I add details like where I got the book it can track it in my stats. Goodreads just can't do that kind of stuff. I just wish the app was better but both LT and GR need better apps 🤷‍♀️ 5y

Question for all the library readers out there!

I, of course have my local library card but have wondered if it's worth it to get a non-resident card from a bigger library. Waitlists for popular titles can be ridiculous for my local library but is that any better at a bigger library? I appreciate any feedback you can offer!

suzie.reads Can you not order books from other libraries to be delivered to your local library? 5y

Bookish.Leftist.Auntie @suzie.reads I'm mainly talking about ebooks, I should've clarified. I can never seem to get physical books returned on time! 😁 5y

suzie.reads Oh right we have borrowbox in the UK which is really good, I use that for ebooks. 5y

Booknerd2 My library is in what they call RiverShare, which is about 6 or 7 cities/communities. The ebook waits are always longer than physical books. 🤨 I just read an article where one of the major publishers decided to only allow the purchase of one newly released ebook for libraries in the first 6 months of release. Then they will make more available. The reasoning was not enough sale if it‘s too readily available at libraries. 5y

Bookish.Leftist.Auntie @suzie.reads Thank you 5y

Bookish.Leftist.Auntie @Booknerd2 It makes sense, I hate that it will make it even worse. I get that they need to drive sales but I can't afford to buy all the books I read or want to read. I generally do buy from favorite authors or books I decide I want to own. 5y

Booknerd2 @SimplyShelia I think if they were using their heads they would realize that anyone reading their books and talking/posting about them, whether they bought them or not, is a good thing. I almost exclusively use the library, unless they simply don‘t have a copy and can‘t borrow. I‘ve only run into it once. 5y

Bookish.Leftist.Auntie @Booknerd2 My thoughts exactly! I follow and promote authors on Twitter, recommend and even buy books as gifts. I think it's unrealistic, (financially and spatially speaking), for most people to buy every single book that peaks their interest. Our libraries are treasures and I'm definitely thankful for mine. 5y

Booknerd2 @SimplyShelia Amen 🙏💜💜💜 5y

sprainedbrain I have an unusual situation... I live in a tiny town with a tiny library that is barely open and doesn‘t participate with other libraries in share programs. For a couple of years now, I have had two out of state library cards (Brooklyn Public and Fairfax County) and I don‘t know what I would do without them. I pay a total of $77 per year and save so much money on audiobooks and ebooks. 5y

Bookish.Leftist.Auntie @sprainedbrain Thanks! I may check them out and see what they offer. 5y

@Crazeedi @cobwebmoth okay so here is what my app looks like. When I first go into it I open up Your Catalog followed by Collections and this is the screen I come to. I already have an ebooks library shelf set up so all I need to do is go to Add to Catalog at the bottom and look up the name of the book. Then when I have found the book I add it to my ebooks library by pressing the Edit button on the right side.

BeansPage Physical books are easier because all you have to do is press the Add to Catalog button at the bottom and then the scan button in the top right-hand corner. You can then scan the barcode at the bottom back of the book or if you are scanning a mass-market paperback the inside front cover. The scanning operation automatically adds the book to your collection. 6y

BeansPage When you have found the book that you are looking for you can use the Edit button on the right side of the book information page to add the book to one or multiple bookshelves on your app. 6y

cobwebmoth Thanks for sharing! 6y

jpmcwisemorgan I was able to what I had on Goodreads uploaded to LT a month or so ago and a lot showed up without covers so I stopped. I don‘t know why or if that can be fixed. 6y

BeansPage @jpmcwisemorgan when I was first cataloging my books I had that happen to me a lot too. There is a function where you can actually take a picture of the cover of your book and upload it to the app so that you and others can use it. If you go to the book info page up in the top right corner underneath where the photo should be there is a picture of a camera with a + in it. Press that to take a photo and upload it. 6y

jpmcwisemorgan What about for ebooks? That‘s what most of my books are. 6y

BeansPage @jpmcwisemorgan I think that function also allows you to upload a photo. In that case what you can do is just take a screenshot of the cover of the book and then upload it. 6y

BeansPage Yes it does if you press the camera + button it takes you automatically to your camera but if you press the button on the bottom right-hand corner it allows you to upload a photo instead 6y

LibrarianRyan @jpmcwisemorgan @TheReadingMermaid if you are on LT desktop version you can change your cover and for many (not all) you will be able to choose a cover from various that are found on Amazon and other services. I find I frequently have to add galley covers but that is about it. 6y

BeansPage @LibrarianRyan thanks hun! 👍🏻😃👍🏻 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @LibrarianRyan @TheReadingMermaid Thank you! I‘m going to try that next time I‘m at a computer. 6y

Crazeedi Thank you for this information, I will have to schedule a day to do this. It would be so great to have my books cataloged 6y

gradcat What is this? I‘m not up to speed, sorry 😐 6y

Sace @gradcat it's a scavenger hunt on the Library Thing website. You read clues and go to the page they are describing (could be book, author...anything) and a code on the page awards a "prize." For Halloween it was a little piece of candy corn. 6y

I still don‘t understand LibraryThing. How is it different or better than Goodreads? Or Libib? Every time I look at it, it doesn‘t appear very user friendly and I can‘t find anything about why you‘d use it over other choices that are more user friendly. Any resources out there, like someone who‘s blogged about it?

BethM I also feel very overwhelmed by it. I don't think it helps that you can't do much from the app. 6y

Burghbookaddict I tried it and it was kind of just a simpler goodreads? If that makes sense. Its just another app to categorize your books but I've already done that on goodreads so why would I do it again somewhere else? 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @BethM I‘ve only looked at it from the website, I don‘t think I realized there was an app! @BurghBookAddict That‘s kind of what I thought. I know they‘re working on connecting Litsy to it, although I don‘t know that I‘d want everything on Litsy to show up there. I use Goodreads to keep track of what I‘m reading and the occasional review for when I receive an ARC. I don‘t want to replicate the work and I much prefer Litsy for the social aspect. 6y

See All 16 Comments

jpmcwisemorgan @BethM @BurghBookAddict I know some Littens use it so I was hoping someone had a resource with benefits. I did see where there are some fun stat things but I don‘t want to keep track of everything in multiple places. Maybe there‘s an easy way to upload or transfer information? 6y

DivineDiana Haven‘t tried it yet! Happy with Goodreads for the time being. 6y

LibrarianRyan I do use it. It has it quirks I do t like, but if you are in a readers advisor position LT can be better than good reads because you can search by tags that are much more common speak than library speak. So you could easily look up steamy Amish murder you can do. You can also search by places etc. I prefer GR for reviews etc but I see value I. LT. 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @LibrarianRyan So you‘re keeping things in both places? Is there an easy way to get information from Goodreads to LT? And do you have to come up with your own tags? (edited) 6y

LibrarianRyan @jpmcwisemorgan no. I wish. 6y

LibrarianRyan @jpmcwisemorgan I keep my LT pretty pairs down. I put reviews both places. LT is easier to inventory your books in but is harder to switch between wishlist and library. 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @LibrarianRyan Ah, and I don‘t really want to inventory my books because most of my physical books I get rid of when I‘m done reading them. I really just use Goodreads to keep track of what I‘m reading. Hmmm...I guess my LT account will sit empty for awhile longer. 6y

LibrarianRyan @jpmcwisemorgan I have to inventory so I don‘t rebuy books I forgot I already own. I too get rid of most mine when I‘m done. 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @LibrarianRyan Now that I buy mostly ebooks from Amazon I manage not to rebuy - although there have been a few glitches in that system. I‘m wondering if Libib wouldn‘t be better because I can upload a CSV and I have almost all my ebooks in an Excel File. I‘d just need to convert it. (edited) 6y

LibrarianRyan @jpmcwisemorgan no idea. I need to be better about what‘s on my iPad. 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @LibrarianRyan Earlier this year I figured out how to get a list of all my Amazon ebooks. It took some time but I did it. It involved a lot of copying and pasting of code like stuff. Whew! 6y

charl08 I started just using it for the cataloguing feature (I was always buying second hand books and finding I'd read it, or I'd got a copy hidden away somewhere). That has been brilliant. I live that I can have lots if lists: books I've read, owned, given away, read in a particular year... But you're right, it's not set up to work as an app like litsy. 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @charl08 Do you just use LT or do you use Goodreads too? 6y

Does anyone else just randomly go onto their online catalog of their own home library just to admire how beautiful their collection looks? Or am I the only weirdo? 😆 👀 📚💕

I want to go to Kansas 😳📚📚📚

rubyslippersreads There‘s no place like Kansas! 😊🌪🌈 6y

JoScho How cool! 6y

vivastory You should see the inside. It's one of the most beautiful libraries I've been to. I used to live in a loft only a block away. Also, within walking distance is the power & light district. My favorite movie theater (Alamo) & favorite venue for live performances (Midland) are located there. Some great restaurants & bars, too! 6y

Ddzmini @JoScho @BookwormM @GypsyKat I know right 6y

rubyslippersreads @Ddzmini Unfortunately, no. As a lifelong Oz fan, I‘m embarrassed to say I‘ve never been to Kansas. 🙁 6y

A friendly reminder to sign up with LibraryThing and start picking your selections for early review books. I‘ve picked books the last two months and was awarded books both months. The caveat: write reviews! I post my reviews on Litsy, LibraryThing, and Amazon.

Reviewsbylola Ooooh gotta check out the May selections!! 7y

Texreader @Reviewsbylola I know. I enjoy looking at the choices so much! 7y

#itsashame that I‘ve been a member of LT for over ten years and have no idea how tf to use it. I‘ve always catalogued the books I‘ve read through GoodReads but I‘ve never catalogued the books I own but haven‘t read. @GondorGirl has inspired me to give LT another shot though so I‘m here for any tips or tricks or insight anyone has to offer! If you use Library Thing, what do you like about it? If you don‘t use it, why? #aprella

Cinfhen, emilyhaldi, Mdargusch

Craftylikefox I am in the same boat as you. I have the app too and have cataloged all my best books but kind of at a stand still. The app is nice because you can scan the books in. 7y

Librarybelle I love it because it reminds me of cataloguing in a library (can‘t you tell I‘m a librarian??). To me, it‘s more analytical than GR. LT is my place for my lists - what I‘ve read and what I own. 7y

Cinfhen Ha!! I‘ve been a member for over two years and I found the website really difficult to navigate. I‘ve been told it‘s better to work off a PC than an iPad or phone so maybe that‘s my issue...let me know if U figure this site out...I‘m willing to try again but I honestly have no problem with GR 7y

See All 21 Comments

TaylorMay I'm just going to follow this conversation right here 🙂 7y

Reviewsbylola Yeah I think I want to catalogue all my books but we‘ll see. I think the site is not very user friendly so I‘m glad I‘m not alone in feeling that way. @Cinfhen 7y

Reviewsbylola I think the cataloguing feature is really the only thing appealing to me now but I‘m curious to see if anyone has any tips or tricks of how else they utilize LT. I‘ll have to check actually because I think I already catalogued my entire library a decade ago and I probably have all different books now. 😂😂 @Librarybelle @Craftylikefox 7y

Reviewsbylola I‘ll make sure to tag you too if I see anything that is amazingly helpful! @TaylorMay 7y

Coleen I was a user of LT before GR, so I have a little loyalty for LT. I prefer GR for the social aspect and for seeing what my friends are reading, but I feel like LT is better for cataloguing and I can find and organize better with LT. However, I don‘t care for the app. I access it on my PC almost exclusively. 7y

umbrellagirl You can export your stuff from GR into LT! 7y

Librarybelle @reviewsbylola @Coleen I agree with you 100%, Coleen. I use the app to see what I have, for instance when I‘m at a bookstore and can‘t recall if I own a copy. The app is still clunky for me. I‘ve used LT for over 10 years, so do feel the loyalty. But, it‘s not the social spot for me. I tried getting social, and never felt “welcome.” I do like the Early Reviewers program and have received some great titles from it. All the tips I have! 7y

DebinHawaii I signed up after the buy out & made a profile but didn't get much beyond that. I thought about trying to download my Goodreads stacks into it but it intimidates me & I didn't really like the chat threads I looked into--except for the Easter Egg hunt which was fun & I did that when Litsy was down. 😆 I was thinking about scanning all my cookbooks on there to start as I haven't catalogued them before but I don't know if I'll actually do it.🤔 7y

TaylorMay @Reviewsbylola Thank you!!! I just started using it last week and I have to log in on my computer because my phone was just not cutting it 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m only going to use it to catalog books! And that took days! I do like that you can add books to a wishlist! 7y

Graywacke I love LT. The cataloging is really strong partially because it‘s so flexible. But adding books is slow. I limit my chatting to certain groups - 75ers and (for me especially) Club Read, where I keep a reading journal. I have never used the app. Only safari or equivalent. 7y

emilyhaldi I‘m not sure I want to spend my time on any apps besides Litsy and goodreads. They‘re doing the job just fine! 👍🏻 7y

Mdargusch Figure this out and then teach me! 7y

Reviewsbylola That‘s very good to know! @umbrellagirl 7y

Reviewsbylola Yeah I don‘t see myself using it for the social aspect. I don‘t use GR for that either though, although I also like seeing which of my friends have read certain books. @coleen @Librarybelle 7y

Reviewsbylola You sound exactly like me when I made my initial profile. @DebinHawaii 7y

BarbaraBB I am a big fan of LT. I use it mainly as a catalogue of my own books and tags (way better than GR, I think). I like to keep track of what I read, and to see what my friends read and what their library looks like. It is not primarily a social medium, I think, although you can participate in all kinds of groups. I do in some but it is in no way comparable to Litsy. I mostly use it on my Mac, hardly ever the app. I should really give it a try! 7y

Varske I am also a big fan of LT. One Christmas I got two gifts of the same book, which I also bought for myself. After that I scanned all my books so I could check always in a bookshop that I didn‘t already have the book. For a time Goodreads had a better scanner than LT, so I also used that. But now I just use LT. Don‘t use it as a social thing, but used to have a widget on my blog showing what I was reading. But now I stopped blogging. (edited) 7y

I have imported my Goodreads booklist. I‘ve looked around. I even won a book I can‘t figure out how to download. So... is there something I‘m missing ...because the message thing reminds me of the times when modems squawked.

RaimeyGallant I need a tutorial. 7y

Samplergal @RaimeyGallant oh my yes! 7y

leahbird I started a thread where you can ask all your questions! Happy to help! https://www.librarything.com/topic/289065 7y

leahbird @Samplergal @RaimeyGallant 7y

jillrhudy @RaimeyGallant @Samplergirl I can tell you how I use LT and if you need pointers just ask. LT is used by many to catalog very specific works. They either import from Goodreads into LT and edit their online library, because any import/export has mistakes—or they scan with the app or add on a computer. I use LT as a reading JOURNAL from 2005 forward plus several books I read prior to 2005. (edited) 7y

jillrhudy When I click Edit on a book in Librarything, I can specify edition and exact cover and all that jazz. I never bother. I did specify that I read the edition of The Stand where Stephen King put stuff back in the book. Unless it‘s like an Annotated edition or special in some way I don‘t care. The only point is to keep a record that I finished reading Fried Green Tomatoes on a date. I don‘t use start date. That way I know what I read and when. 7y

jillrhudy Litsy is not going to work for my online reading journal purposes for several reasons. There is not enough in the book database. The book database is loaded with mistakes. (I do need author, title, and original pub date correct). And finally, the only source of book reviews is full of games and memes. No offense, I know how that‘s how you guys roll, but go look at LT reviews for any book with a day of the week in the title. 7y

jillrhudy Then look at that same book in Litsy. If I want to get very book specific and catalog my old Modern Library collection and add my own photos to LT that can be done. If I want to make a shelf of precise editions of children‘s books I own, most of them will be in the LT database. 7y

jillrhudy The other problem with Litsy from my point of view is that a “bail” is still a “read” and in my records all that counts is what I finish. I‘m not going to bother importing 1660+ books even if they make that possible. I find Litfluence suspect. I will judge for myself. 7y

jillrhudy While the book reviews on Litsy are buried in the profiles, the book scores are the most valuable I have ever seen. I think, wow. 69, or 44, or 90, that is about right! So let‘s hope nothing happens to mess that up because right now I am going to LT for reviews but coming to Litsy for scores! (edited) 7y

Samplergal @jillrhudy thank you! I will try to see if it will be at all useful. 7y

RaimeyGallant @jillrhudy Thanks for all the tips! 7y

Help! Any LibraryThing old-hands have a minute? I've just been playing with the app - but I've stopped because I don't want to break anything. If I find a record that's close to what I'm looking for, but not quite there, and I hit the photo or edit button, does that make a new copy of the record for my library or would it ruin the original record?

Cheers!

Maybe it'd make more sense on the website 😬

Miss_Kim I believe it makes a new record. 7y

rockpools @Miss_Kim Thank you! I was hoping it would be way too simple to break straight-up, but am backing off til I'm sure. 7y

Graywacke I‘ve never used the app... 7y

rockpools @Graywacke Ah well! It'll probably all become obvious tomorrow. Sure it can't be *that* breakable! 7y

I went to add a book I‘m currently reading to LibraryThing via the app and I kept getting a weird error message. So I jump over to the actual site to see if it‘s just my phone. It wasn‘t my phone, thank goodness, they‘re just down for maintenance. BUT the books they used for their maintenance message had me laughing out loud, literally! 😂😂😂 Stages of grief, indeed! 😂

Emilymdxn Omg I‘ve just noticed this and I‘ve been using the site for ten years! That‘s so cool 7y

This Easter egg hunt is hard to even with some clues :) anyone knows what they are talking about with the lifetime membership if you find up to at least 5 eggs I thought that library thing accounts were already for as long as you had them or wanted to have one any ideas anyone that is also on LibraryThing

Swe_Eva LT is free up to 200(?) books, to log more than that, you can add a yearly version for $10 or lifetime for $25. That's the "lifetime" they're talking about in the egghunt. 7y

Carolhreads @LT_eva ok yeah thanks I ended up googling it and looking on their forum to find the answer glad that I did the egg hunt because I Dont think it's worth it to only just be able to log a certain number of books and there are no other perks seeing as how other websites like good reads Dont have a limit :) 7y

Swe_Eva @Carolhreads There are oodles of ways on LT to receive an upgraded account, so I think it's only veterans like myself who paid about a decade ago. 😂😂😂 My problem with GR is that I can't make changes to the editions to match the specific edition I own (and a lot of my foreign or obscure books aren't there at all). If your not as picky as I am about edition, GR is just fine. I do use GR for the read-last-year round up function which I love. 💜 7y

Carolhreads @LT_Eva ah ok I see what you mean the edition switch is definitely important to me as well your right about that good reads has some editions to be able to change but it definitely varies on the book :) did you participate in the egg hunt? 7y

Swe_Eva @Carolhreads I did - I love those hunts. 💜 There's always one around Talk Like a Pirate Day too. This one was a little easier than that one usually is, though. For the eggs I had a hard time finding, there are lots of people in the Talk thread to help with clues. 7y

Okay, not to be a traitor , but during shit down today, I did a thing. I did the Library Thing Egg Hunt. It was a fun activity while we were away. I'm not sure how well I like LT (not very currently but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt) but the Egg Hunt was fun. I still can not find number 5 if anyone can help.

If you want to check it out, it's under NEWS in the app or browser.

CouronneDhiver Shit down 😂 #autocorrect 7y

ptkpepe98 I hunted a little tonight. It was fun. I'm still learning about all that it is, but I've already been given e-books as an early reviewer. I received the first one within 2 days of joining, so that is definitely a positive. 7y

Carolhreads @MrsSpencer hey there! Library thing is a website and an app that has been around for a while it's a way to catalog and keep track of books your reading, books you own and books you would like to read. Kind of like Goodreads you can also add friends, join chat groups and enter to win books for free on their giveaway page. :) They have also recently bought this website :) 7y

pinkpygmypuffs I think I might need to sign up for this! 7y

LibrarianJen I‘ve signed up but haven‘t done anything with it. I‘m LibrarianJen83 on there because my Litsy handle is already taken 😞 7y

Swe_Eva I've been on LT since 2006, I think. I started because I have books on both sides of the Atlantic and kept double- and sometimes triple-buying books. Like Litsy, it's bad for your wishlist, but at least I only buy one copy of each book now... 😉😂 7y

Drnkpnkprincess I just finished cataloging mine. I used the scanner to add the books, then went through and did each one separately. I also changed some of my “catalogs” ... took out “your library” and added paperback & hardcover (quick reference), also added TBR and DNF... i also only have 150 books so it went quick. 7y

guinsgirlreads @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks sometimes.. when I have enough time to go through some at home. 7y

Drnkpnkprincess @LibrarianJen mine was too- but I clicked forget password and it emailed me a reset. I don‘t remember registering but maybe it took everyone in Litsy‘s database and combined it with theirs. 🤷🏼‍♀️ also- how do you add friends?!? 7y

Swe_Eva @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I'm -Eva- on LT, which wasn't an allowed name on Litsy, hence the difference. I believe the LT "also on" feature will include Litsy at some point after Tuesday's server-move. 7y

Chellebearss @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks a fun way to find people is to join a group and start a thread. I hang out in the 75 books in 2018 group. I‘ll try and find you though 7y

Chellebearss Also if you search a name in the search bar you will see on the left hand side in black “social” then in blue below it you will see “member” and that‘s where you‘ll find users. Hope that helps! 7y
