Eilisiä divarilöytöjä Librarythingiin syöttäessä osui silmiin tämmöinen ilmoitus:
"LibraryThing has handed out another round of badges and medals, and you got some new ones:
Fifteener for members who've been on the site for fifteen years "

Then, how to track? I wound up using #LibraryThing. It integrates with the Library of Congress and other libraries, plus Amazon, for pulling in metadata. Its site is designed to work well with barcode scanners (I found the Honeywell 1900G-HD works really well). It also has CSV and JSON exports, plus CSV imports. I can also add all my books from local authors that aren't in any database, etc. 3/
I have been using #Goodreads for way too long. It is time for something different. Nice-to-haves would include an Android app that can scan barcodes and add to categories, Goodreads import, support for both #Dewey and #LibraryOfCongress systems, integration with #Calibre, and ability to keep my reading and library info private. I've seen #libib and #LibraryThing recommended. #BookWyrm too, though I'm looking more for personal categorization than social sharing. Suggestions? #AskFedi
Just added some enticing items to my TBR list from the newest #LibraryThing recommendations.
My twisted knee is healing. I limp less and can walk farther.
Delicious cheesy almond-flour bread for tonight’s salmon patties.
Well. I just passed the 2000 book mark in my #librarything catalog. I have 2003 books. And counting.

#LibraryThing is great - less well-known but much better than Goodreads (probably because it really is for book nerds).
One of my favorite things about Mastodon is the delightful nerdiness.
You amazing @bookstodon folks introduced me to #LibraryThing -- I don't remember who you were but thank you, wonderful stranger!
Anyway, I took a chance and threw my newest novel Beneath the Gods' Tree into the Early Reviewer pool, so it's available for those who want to request a free advance copy. It's under #fantasy and #romance
Check out the whole pool here: https://www.librarything.com/ner

Revisiting LibraryThing this holiday I found three of me there: identities from 2005, 2008, and 2018. Interestingly there's little overlap among my three libraries.
Now I'm exploring libraries from friends and acquaintances whose book choices from those eras are preserved as if in amber. The recommendations are timeless.
The site has held up nicely too. No need to jump on the React bandwagon, though a sprinkling of HTMX might be appropriate!
LibraryThing has been going strong since 2005. I interviewed its founder and lead developer, Tim Spalding, back in 2008. Listening to that interview again today reminded me that everything I loved about LibraryThing remains important and matters even more now.
