Library Thing

This morning I stumbled on another wonderful way to keep track of the books in our home library today. Library Thing works a lot like Shelfari, but I think I will have to take the site for a test drive to determine which site is easier to use.

I would not have found this one if I had not been reading "21 Signs You are a Homeschool Book Junkie" at Heart of Wisdom. I think I can safely say, I am a homeschool book junkie, although I think I may have been born a bibliophile.

Shelfari

I was at Goodwill yesterday looking for some deals on children's books when I met a lady who just graduated her youngest homeschooler. I was telling her how I loved the great prices on the books there, but that I could never remember what books I already owned. I either end up buying the same book twice, or not buying a book, because I think we already have it.

She recommended Shelfari to me as a way to track the books I already owned. I'm so glad I bumped into her, because this site is my find of the week. Not only is it a place to store information about the books I own, it is a place to keep track of what has already been read, or that I plan to read. It is also a good place to look up book reviews.

I haven't fully explored the site yet, as I just took my first look at it this morning, but I wanted to be sure to post a note about it before I forgot it. I don't want to forget the name of a site like this.
