Having spent the better part of a weekend visiting my stash and placing pictures on Ravelry, my attention has now turned to another compulsive pastime. Ravelry has a page where ones books are inventoried. Within that page lurks a link the LibraryThing. Intrigued, I visited and realized that I had a membership long forgotten. I can't quite remember when I signed up. Or why. Years ago I sold off quite a few of my books on half.com and I just couldn't face taking my 1000+ books off of shelves and typing in all those ISBN's again. Just as I was about to blow the whole thing off, I clicked on the tools page and their was a cute little scanner in the shape of a cat a CueCat. Only $15.00 includes shipping. I can do this, scan my books and have a handle on just what I own.
Now I'm addicted. I have scanned 3 rooms of books and am working on the main library. It's been a happy pastime visiting all those children's books, finding misplaced cookbooks, and rediscovering old friends. There is a widget at the bottom of the page for the totally bored and wanting a glimpse into what's on my shelves.
I made room for my 2 preordered copies of "The Deathly Hallows". Bring it on!
