I found a great website yesterday that allows you to keep track of and organize books. You can categorize them into "read" "currently reading" or to-read" You can also create your own categories. (for instance, I created a "books read in 2008 category).

You can rate and review the books, as well as search the most popular, best rated, etc. books.

It gives you the Title, Author, Price, ISBN#, and links to buy the book as well. There are widgets that you can customise to show any of your 'bookshelves.'

It is a great way to organize your reading!

Here's a link to MY GOODREADS PROFILE, if you want to see how the books are organized.



Check out goodreads.com!

Another good online resource is www.librarything.com.
That's the one that I personally use to keep track of my collection.

Oh, wow...I like both of those sites. I think I need to stick with one though, I'm just not sure which one to use. :P

A site I like is http://www.paperbackswap.com - It allows you to get books nearly for free. :D

One thing I like about LibraryThing is their "Early Reviewers" program. You can apply to be sent a book (completely free of charge!) that was just published, as long as you agree to read it quickly and post a review of it on their website.

I finished The Host yesterday. It was very good and I barely slept two nights ago to finish it.

Thank you for letting me know about those sites.

I had only heard of Shelfari before.

Does Shelfari have a limit on how many books you can add to your account?

The only problem I have with LibraryThing is that if you want to add over 200 books you need to have a paid account. I've gotten around this by making more than one username, but it's a pain.

Cherry:: I finished Eclipse this morning, and I just wanted to let you know that I don't hate Jacob anymore. D:

I don't like him either, but.... >.>
I can't hate him.

I do feel sorry for him. ;-;

Yeah, the last two scenes with him in Eclipse are so sad. D:
It's just the whole "KISS ME OR I GO DIE" thing that makes me want to hit him. That was just low. >:
But I wuv Jake. I had a dream about him last night, actually. XD

Yeah, that was horrible for him to manipulate Bella like that. :<

But I just feel so bad for him at the end because he DOES love her, and he knows what she's going to do...

Not only that she's going to get married, but also afterwards... ;-;

And then he gets the damned invitation! God that must've torn him up. :gonk:

I'm so excited to read Breaking Dawn now, but I can't afford it! :headdesk:

Brave Kit! I salute you!

LOLs! XXDD

Yeah, basically.
My inventory threw up on me. ;_;
It wanted me to feed it some pretty new commons, but I didn't, so it was all like "BLARGGGH!"

Mine, too. I got about two dozen or so items. Not huge when you consider that my invent was already at about 300 items, but it's definitely helped.
Especially all those armband/bracelet things. You can sort of tell that I'm wearing one of them now. Sort of.
