The Boston Bibliophile asks:  Popular this month on LT: Do you look at this list? Do you get ideas on what to read from it?

Have you read any of the books on the list right now? Feel free to link to any reviews you’ve done as well.

Where do you find the list of Popular this [...]

Tuesday Thingers: stuff it!

Today’s question from the Boston Bibliophile: LT Things- t-shirts, bags,cue cats- are you into the “stuff”? Do you use a cuecat to enter your books, or do you enter them manually? What do you think of the stuff?

Like Marie, I’m not into the “stuff;”  to me, it’s just more clutter.  In fact, there’s an acronym [...]

Tuesday Thingers: Multiple Choice

From the Boston Bibliophile:  Today’s question: Work multiples. Do you own multiple copies of any books? Which ones? Why? Can you share your list?

You can find the link under Statistics, from either your home page or profile.

This is a timely question.  I spent a few hours this weekend updating my LibraryThing catalog, entering the stacks [...]

Tuesday Thingers: Legacy Libraries

This week’s question from the Boston Bibliophile: Legacy libraries. With which legacy libraries do you share books? Tell us a little about a couple of them and what you share.  Marie also says:  what other topics would you like me to cover in these questions? I’m happy to take suggestions and give credit (and links) [...]

Tuesday Thingers: A series-ous question

A weekly prompt from the Boston Bibliophile.  Today’s question: Series. Do you collect any series? Do you read series books? Fantasy? Mystery? Science fiction? Religious? Other genre? Do you use the series feature in LT to help you find new books or figure out what you might be missing from a series?

I don’t “collect” any [...]

From Marie, the Boston Bibliophile:  Early Reviewers- do you participate? How many books (approximately) have you received through the program? Have you liked them generally? What’s your favorite ER book? Do you participate in the discussion group on LT?

I joined LibraryThing on April 1 of this year, just about six months ago.  After entering a [...]

Tuesday Thingers: It all adds up (recently!)

This week’s question from Marie, the Boston Bibliophile: -LibraryThing’s Recently Added feature: do you look at it? Do you use it for ideas? Is there something listed there now that looks interesting to you? What have you added to your LT library recently?

I don’t really use the “Recently added by other members” section, due to [...]

The Boston Bibliophile connects us with Banned Books Week today, with this task:  For this week’s Tuesday Thingers, I’ve [...]

Tuesday Thingers: These are a few of my favorite things …

Today’s question from the Boston Bibliophile:    Favorite Authors. Who do you have named in your LT account as favorite authors? Why did you choose them? How many people share your choices? Can you share a picture of one of them?

Well, I guess I have to update my LT profile, as the spot for “favorite authors” [...]

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, [...]
