Expanding My Horizons: Librarything or Goodreads


My Web Exploration 5 :
I played around with Librarything and set up an account. Then I decided I liked the Goodreads site better so I set up an account there! I feel I can definitely benefit from the ease with which I can organize my own reading right on the website.
I also read the LJ article entitled "2.0 for Readers", and enjoyed the explanation of interactive Readers' Advisory capability on these sites. I particularly liked the way the article showcased the public libraries that use these sites as an integral part of their homepages.
Library patrons can definitely benefit from all the sharing that these sites afford. It really is fun and captivating to see the titles and covers of your particular favorite genre.

Oh so much to read and so little time!

I like goodreads better too... It's the "book site" that I use the most. Thanks for the great book recommendation!
