More on the book theme...

My hubbie found a wonderful site for me today!

We've been using DVD Profiler for a few years now, it's a great way to keep track of your DVD/movie collection. And the hubbie has spent many, many hours doing a fantastic job of ripping all of our music to the PC, tagging it and adding cover art. The only application that was missing from my life was a way to track my library of books!



But that has been solved with the arrival of Library Thing, as the hubbie noticed on James Galvin's blog. It allows you to create a library-quality catalogue of all your books and then connects you with other people based on the books that you share. I'll post again once I get my collection set up.

Another site I found this week is Book Mooch, a free community for exchanging used books with like minded souls. It's early days, but they already have a good few people signed up. You get points for sending books to people and then you can use those points to 'buy' books that you want from others. You get more points for sending books to other countries, so that means that you have more to spend! Hopefully this will really take off and it will allow books to travel the world and make more people happy...
