LibraryThing, etc.

[dwgm]

Anyone who loves books should check out LibraryThing. the_stowaway (who got the word from monkeypuzzle) told me about it, and I can see that I will be hooked, and I hope you will be, too. It's a simple, beautifully constructed site wherein one can catalog one's books, rate them, review them, tag them, and network with others to compare notes, get recommendations, etc. Fantastic idea. Really impressive. Check it out!

Ran across another great food-related website, too. It's called In Mama's Kitchen, and it not only has home style recipes, but historical information, biographical information, cook book reviews, and other interesting articles. I need to post the link at prettygoodfood.

Speaking of prettygoodfood, maybe I'll do a little updating there this morning. It's been too long since I posted there. Bad me.

I'm off work this week and next, but am still recovering from a horrible cold/flu/whatever. Bah. Makes things so very difficult. I haven't been doing much besides computing for days -- website stuff, and writing (the second part of A Christmas Accord should be posted soon, hopefully tonight). I did manage to trim the Christmas tree, finally, and it looks really cute, even without tinsel, which I need to buy if I can get to the store today.

Must make a to do list, and do Christmas cards today. But first, brunch.

Have a good day, all!

ETA: Don't forget to join blackpearlsails!

Another one snagged for LibraryThing. My work here is done.

Hee! Oh, yes.

Sounds like a great deal of fun, but since I have over 4000 books, possibly close to 5000, I don't know if I could ever get them all catalogued! It's a rather sobering thought that at the rate of 1 book a day--which I can do if I'm not interrupted--it would still take me over ten years to read them all again. Ulp! And I keep buying more. I need to own a real library.

As Erasmus says: When I have a little bit of money, I buy books. Then if anything is left I buy food.

Erasmus was a man after my own heart.

I don't have near 4 or 5 thousand, but I have a fair number. But I figure I'll catalog a few at a time, maybe, favorites or those I'm currently reading. What better thing to share than a love of books!

I hear ya there. I had a stomach bug yesterday and had to get two bags of fluid from an IV because I was dehydrating that fast. doing better today, but my stomach wont be able to handle much for a while

Oh, you poor thing! I hope you are feeling much, much better today. I only have a horrid cold -- fever, and loss of all taste last week, but quite a bit better now. Stomach ailments are the worst, especially this time of year! Take care of yourself.
