I love LibraryThing! It is the first product posted for our review that I didn't know about, so this is a fabulous find for me. I took the tour and love all the book stuff available, especially the free books you can win in exchange for writing a review. I also find the recommendations extremely helpful and accurate. I ran a little test to see what results I would get by selecting a favourite book I have loved and then checking the recommendations that accompany this choice. The results were surprisingly bang on, with many other titles I have also loved. This is even better than If-You-Like lists. Some of the reader reviews are rather pedestrian and uninteresting. I will continue to explore this fun tool and definitely use it here at work for recommendations. I am not yet feeling fully comfortable with how to structure my library into categories, but will experiment some more. I want to create a To Read list as well. This is a tool I will tell my friends, my book club and my library customers about.
