It's a Library Thing !

Library Thing is for me. I find it to be a fabulous tool for both learning and fun. I have used the Book Recommendations and Book reviews.
I have a 12 year-old boy that reads well, but it's difficult finding books he will both enjoy and be good for academic credit at his school. LT has come in quite handy. Books we never would have come up with, pop-up on the recommended lists.
Personally, I enjoy the "warm fuzzy feeling" I get when I enter LT. I feel as if I'm walking into a Barnes and Noble bookstore. What makes up for not being able to put my hand on the books though, is being able to narrow the search for my books with a click of a mouse. I can also read literary reviews and check into Amazon or someplace and order the book , just like that. LT is like a "cozy reading room." I like that!

I'd never considered using it that way, Tiffany! What a fabulous idea!! I'm going to have to get Alex started on it soon - he's so picky about the books he reads. This might just help me out!!
