I didn't know that LibraryThing is pay now!

I also have an account with LibraryThing and Book Blogs. <br /><br />I am not sure, it is very time-consuming maintaining lists on all these things. I do wish there was one app that would let me upload my book titles to all 3 sites at once <br /><br />Sigh! if wishes were horses :(<br /><br />Thanks for posting all these links. I will definitely be reading these posts to find out what exactlty is it that I am missingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859132197479096160.post-70542388153731512092010-02-18T22:53:53.398+08:002010-02-18T22:53:53.398+08:00StephanieD: Amazon does have better and more criti...StephanieD: Amazon does have better and more critical reviews. Oh, Goodreads has better organisation? Will check that out! Thanks!<br /><br />April: Actually nobody can tell us if we're serious readers or not. They don't have the right to do so and we can be serious or casual readers if we want to! :) Well, we can't really generalize that everyone who's a serious reader uses LibraryThing. It's absurd.<br /><br />Wow, you have 3 accounts??? :D Hope it doesn't take a lot of time to manage them.<br /><br />Matt: Hey there, thanks for dropping by! Hmm, if I wanted to read reviews, I'll just go blog-hopping. :) Reviews will be more detailed.<br /><br />LOL. That's an interesting story you have there. Perhaps you could 'spam' them with LibraryThing next.<br /><br />I tried to import my books from LT to Goodreads but it failed. So I gave up.Josettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398849417612962089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859132197479096160.post-76357217231107117262010-02-18T21:39:26.036+08:002010-02-18T21:39:26.036+08:00Hi!

Thanks for the link! <br /><br />Yup, I think it really comes down to do you want to catalogue your books for yourself? or do you want to share book reviews with friends? <br /><br />Now if you could get your friends to join librarything, then you get all benefits of goodreads. It just happens that I have friends on goodreads and not on librarything. <br /><br />And then it's funny, one day last year I accidentally emailed my entire address book invites to goodreads. If I was gonna spam everyone, I wish it was at least with librarything instead. But alas, goodreads is nice. And now I know a TON of people on goodreads. So that's kinda nice. <br /><br />Actually, now i have to import a bunch of new books. Hmmm, I guess I'll be doing it to both librarything and goodreads.Matt Maldrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589044056172003151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859132197479096160.post-4240510131171676332010-02-18T03:20:24.730+08:002010-02-18T03:20:24.730+08:00Personally, I love goodreads.

I would hate for someone to tell me I'm not a serious reader because I just like GR more. <br /><br />I also think there's a big difference between being a serious reader and being a serious cataloguer.<br /><br />Although, perhaps I am focusing on just one thing. I like goodreads' interface. I like the people I've met on GR, I like discussing books in groups I've joined on GR.<br /><br />While I do have an LT account and Shelfari, I think my heart remains with GR.April (BooksandWine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268544465552896599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859132197479096160.post-14354421163282286042010-02-18T00:49:54.673+08:002010-02-18T00:49:54.673+08:00I use Goodreads and I agree that it's great fo...I use Goodreads and I agree that it's great for social networking. I like the way it's organized better than LibraryThing or Shelfari. Although I post reviews there, I depend more on Amazon for reviews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
