Library Thing

This is a cool tool.  I like the reviews part of Library Thing when I want a quick look at what others think of a book before I buy it.  I would like to see more professional books added and non-fiction as I tend to read more of those at the moment. Not sure about Canadian content yet.  I think this is very user friendly and is in some ways more hip than Novelist K-8 so I think it might appeal to our older students!  I would like to see a test run with it sometime with a book club format with Gr. 7 and 8 to see how it flies with them.  I like it enough personally that I would use it periodically but I haven't used it as much since the summer.  Not sure why??  Probably more a time thing than anything negative about the offering.  I had  a list of 5 for the summer which I have added to today.  Some professional, children's books and interest as well. You will have to put up with my pictures as Blogger doesn't recognize hyperlinks using a MAC.
