I love Librarything!

Of all the online tools we have investigated, this is definetely the number 1 tool for me and I will most assuredly continue to use this long after all the L2.0 tasks are finished.

I simply loved the entire concept. After years of scribbling into notebooks, then transcribing into excel documents my own lists I am so very happy to have been shown this resource.

I loved the different "viewing options" of my collections and the ability to be able to create my own preferred view. I also loved that I could have multiple lists and was also able to add more as desired.

I also loved the librarything and member recommendations of other titles which I might like to read and the reviews. This connection between titles easily leads one to create even bigger lists of what "to read" in an extremely effortless way.

One very, very, deliciously, dangerous aspect of this site is the offer for members to read and review titles before they reach the shops. Although the majority seem to be in America, Canada and the UK there is still some Australian offers.

With so much to love, there has to be something bad surely? The only negative I can find is that I cannot seem to be able to sort my search results for series searches into series order. One seems to get a random list of series titles in no order whatsoever. However, I have only just started to explore this resource and have perhaps not found the right way to do this just yet...
