Bop over to The Boston Bibliophile to learn more!
How many books do you have cataloged in your LibraryThing account? How do you decide what to include- everything you have, everything you've read- and are there things you leave off?
I have 575 "books" listed in my librarything catalog. Everything in my catalog I physically own, I do include comics and zines which can sometimes only be a handful of pages. I'm slowing getting the covers for these into my catalog. The only things I have that I don't include are books from my childhood that I'm embarrassed that I still have and hope to get rid of!
I'd like to find a way to include all the library books and what not I've read in there somewhere but for now I like it being a collection of what I actually have at my fingertips. To try and counterbalance library books not being accounted for I've put the books I've read in the last few years on this blog in a few different posts. I've been keeping a list of everything I've read since about 6th grade!
As far as wish list books go, those stay on my amazon wish list.
I started my LT the same way you did- with what I had at my fingertips, and then gradually expanded. It's nice to meet you & welcome aboard! :-)
ReplyDeleteHey! Nice to meet another LT at Tuesday Thingers!
ReplyDeleteWow a list since 6th grade, that's impressive :)
ReplyDeletekbookreviews-
ReplyDeleteyeah! it all started one summer when my mom explained to me the holds process at the library and the fact that i could go onto the computer and HOLD HOLD HOLD books! I don't know if i was worried about rereading a Babysitter's Club book or what but I decided to keep a list! I actually just this January decided to do the same thing with movies, why not right!
:D that's really amazing
ReplyDeletei'm sure i may have taken out about the same amount of books but to actually have read all of them that's a different story
didn't you ever feel like, "this book sucks!" and stop right there? that's what often happens to me; i know bad habit
with peace
Actually a larger chunk of my books than I'm proud of I haven't read yet. That's why I'd like to find a way to include the library books I've read, since those I've read for sure!
ReplyDeleteI can't recall many books that sucked that I stopped reading, I usually end up finishing them hoping they will go somewhere i do the same with movies, that's a bad habit as well!
