By the way, Musing Mondays are hosted by Rebecca on her blog, Just One More Page.<br /><br />Charlie--I tend to be a loner, so I've never gone great guns on the socialization bit, but if I hadn't done that on LT, I would never have started blogging!<br /><br />Brooke--You know I'm going to have to check that out now! LOL<br /><br />Wendy--I printed out a copy of my LT catalog and have it here in a 3-ring binder.<br /><br />Susan--Sometimes it's difficult to stay with just one. Each one has different strengths.<br /><br />Natalie--I tried Facebook for about a month and had to give it up. Facebook and my brain aren't on the same wavelength, and I only have so much time to divvy between all these different things. I have to pick and choose. :(Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-17018348670106705802009-07-27T13:10:45.390-07:002009-07-27T13:10:45.390-07:00I have accounts on both Librarything and Goodreads...I have accounts on both Librarything and Goodreads but i use Librarything the most.<br />Facebook has a great app for books too , called Living Social which i like too.<br />Natalie :0)Natalie Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528178914797482869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-50243285441506777332009-07-27T06:23:42.287-07:002009-07-27T06:23:42.287-07:00I really like this question.

I...I'm partial to LibraryThing as well, Cathy. I did recently join GoodReads again with a different purpose for it in mind. I'm still bad about keeping up with it though. <br /><br />I sometimes will use LibraryThing in order to see what others think of a book I'm considering, but I've found that LTers are harder on books than I am and so it's not always a good gauge of what I might like. It's a good resource just the same. <br /><br />Like you, I mostly use LibraryThing as a catalog for the books I own.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-42313674813999584462009-07-26T19:35:35.675-07:002009-07-26T19:35:35.675-07:00I catalog using Delicious Library 2.

There is a social aspect, but if I want social I'll go to Facebook . . .Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722567671925063706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-12722001128751194872009-07-26T17:13:39.027-07:002009-07-26T17:13:39.027-07:00Thanks for asking....my lengthier than a comment p...Thanks for asking....my lengthier than a comment post is on the blog - will post as a <a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7350594965135670564&postID=9194664322932410170" rel="nofollow">Monday Musing"</a> tomorrow AM (the 27th.)<br /><br />Just for a quickie....it's LT all the way for me.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164739473838041694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-82913808312090876722009-07-26T16:02:26.646-07:002009-07-26T16:02:26.646-07:00I use Good Reads because I found it first.

I've checked out the other two but didn't find Shelfari terribly user friendly and although I liked Library Thing well enough I didn't need two accounts that did the same thing so I let that one lapse.<br /><br />I use it as an online record of the books I have and the ones I want to have and a little bit for socialising and finding recommendations although I use blogs and message based groups for that more and more.<br /><br />I now also have a separate database on my own computer of all the books I own and the books I read from other sources so really I don't need the Good Reads account any more but I will keep it active for now. I find the trivia quiz can be addictive too :)Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-60401251758565719862009-07-26T15:45:00.554-07:002009-07-26T15:45:00.554-07:00I'm an oldfashioned traditionalist.

It feels so much better in a bookstore, especially a second-hand store where the smells of old paper and leather add to the feel and weight of the books in the hand. If I can't find what I want on the shelf, then I do the Ebay thing.<br /><br />Oh Cathy, there is a present for you on my blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-72276844169771107262009-07-26T15:30:51.951-07:002009-07-26T15:30:51.951-07:00my own journey to my beloved Library Thing is very...my own journey to my beloved Library Thing is very similiar to yours. I tried the others, but without question, LT is the best fit.<br /><br />..and I too love going through my library, adding tags, looking for ones that need covers, adding Common Knowledge..it is a bit addictive..lolcaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824538078958999767noreply@blogger.com
