I am so glad that through this course I have discovered "The Library Thing" and looking forward to the many possibilities it opens for engaging with other users and their love of books.
For the moment I am using it to collate and review books I am reading from the late primary and secondary section of our school library. As you can imagine this section spans a wide range of reading and maturation levels and subject matter, so it is important for me to read and get information on as much of the collection as I can. "The Library Thing" will enable me to not only post my own reviews but to also access those of others and engage in some good discussion, obtain new purchasing suggestions, etc. It helps me to fell more comfortable about the daunting task of reading across our large collection. Yesterday I posted my first review on a title that is very new on the market, The Emerald Atlas" by John Stephens. To my delight I discovered over 100 postings and 11 other reviews! Not bad for a new title and teenage fiction I thought! So thank you for including "The Library Thing" in our studies.
