LibraryThing Author Challenge 2009

Last fall I ran a 3-month LibraryThing Author Challenge, and will be doing it again, running the entire year of 2009.

What is a LibraryThing author?  Simply put, “an author who lists their personal library on LibraryThing.”  Their libraries are marked with this round logo.

How do you find out which LT Authors are already in your library, [...]

Tuesday Thingers: Members with similar libraries

Today’s question from the Boston Bibliophile:  Members who have your books. Do you ever look at this feature? Do you use it to make LT friends, or compare notes? There are three tabs- weighted, raw, and recent. “Weighted,” which means “weighted by book obscurity and library size” is probably the least self-explanatory of the three, [...]

Whale Song by Cheryl Kaye Tardif begins as a coming of age story told through the eyes of Sarah Richardson, a kind spirited young girl whose father is a biology [...]

LibraryThing Author Challenge!

Last week during the weekly Tuesday Thingers question, the Boston Bibliophile asked us who our LibraryThing authors are.  What is a LibraryThing author?  Simply put, “an author who lists their personal library on LibraryThing.”

I wasn’t even sure how to find out the answer to this question (I learn more about LT each week with these questions!), but it’s [...]
