Thing #16 Library Thing

Well I absolutely love, love, love Library Thing! I love books! I love to read. I love talking about books, and I love reading about good books to read...so yeah! This site was made for me. I know that I have come upon it in the recent past, whether through 23 things or in researching a book I can't remember... I had it bookmarked already.

So now I am an official Library Thingster. I already read at least a book a week...but now after all my investigating...my list of books to read has grown exponentially!!

This site would be wonderful for Reading teachers and English teachers who have assigned a novel by an author who has more than one book to their credit. Then the student could search for which novel they would like to read next by the same author. I know of several students I had last year that loved the book The Giver. They were not readers by any stretch of the imagination, but they found that they actually enjoyed reading this book. I told them if they liked this book they might like other books by the same author. If I had known about this site, I would have taken them to it, and looked up the author right then and there.

OK..I'm going back to Library Thing..I think I'm addicted.
