Alright...So in my newly admitted Internet addiction, I have also become addicted to Shelfari. I love posting books on there that I have read, both to show off my eclectic taste and to keep track of all that I hope to read. I know, not exactly altruistic motives, but it's also a good way to push your own book if you happen to be an author. I have all my friends books on there that I have either read or plan to read (Elizabeth Spann Craig, Alan Orloff, Jill Edmondson, etc.), and I am friends with even more authors (L. Diane Wolfe, for example) and bloggers (Mason Canyon, DL Hammons).
The only thing I don't put on my bookshelf are children's books. I have enough children's stuff in my life. Shelfari is a place for me. And as much as I admire the genre, I really don't read YA. So please feel free to recommend mystery/suspense/thriller and classic literature to me.
Hopeful for Shelfari friends...Michele's Shelfari Bookshelf
I've been slow to make the move...looking for a little extra time to set up Shelfari and spend time on GoodReads and Library Thing. I think I'm on the last 2, but not on Shelfari yet. I love the idea of the sites, just having a hard time getting over there!

I just realized (last night of all times!) that everyone is on Goodreads. I actually like Shelfari better, but oh, well. It's just a matter of loading all your books on all the sites...Time consuming. I better not worry about it!

I'm on Shelfari, Goodreads, and Library Thing - although I confess I don't visit them often enough...
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to sign up for some of those book sites. Thanks for the reminder. (Though now people might find out that I'm a closet fantasy book addict. Wait. I just said it. I'm not in the closet any more. Crud.)
ReplyDeleteDiane- It's addicting, though, isn't it? I think I'm actually a member of them all, too!
ReplyDeleteSimon- Out of the closet, you? Never would have guessed.
"Sillily." You're in good company--I believe Poe coined that word in a couple of his letters.
ReplyDeleteJust to show that I am now the Official Neanderthal of the blogging world--until I read this post, I had no idea such "online libraries" even existed.
Good Lord, I'm pathetic.
Yay, Undine! Discovering new things is a great way to start a month!
ReplyDeleteBeen there...doing that! :)
