Hi Jessica - thanks for the tip - I keep meaning to explore good reads too. The plugin is called Wordpress Stats - you can search for it in the WP plugin library. It's fabulous!

I had the same experience with LibraryThing. I don't think that it is very user friendly. Remember to use the pencil link! I'm finally to the point where I can find my way around, by I infinitely prefer goodreads. I use Library Thing for the books I own, and goodreads for the books I've read, am reading, and want to read.

Can I ask what the Wordpress plugin you refer to above is? I'd love to try it out. Thanks!

I'm an LT user and I don't consider myself especially gifted technically. To edit anything in your library (including posting a review or rating a book), simply click on the little pencil graphic on the far right side of the page of the book in question. There are lots and lots of wonderful groups on LT...you can check them out without joining them simply by clicking on the tab for groups at the top of the page.

I think if you just spend a little time clicking on the different tabs, you will learn your way around. There is tons of functionality at LT which is why it seems hard at first...but once you learn it you'll wonder how you lived with out it!

Hi Mrs. S.,

Thought I'd pipe in here about The Library Thing. I recently signed up as well. I've been a member of Goodreads for about a year and I found Library Thing to be very confusing compared to Goodreads. I'm slowly learning how things work, but it isn't anywhere near as self-explanatory as Goodreads. The other thing I like about Goodreads is that if one of my "friends" rates or reviews a book, I receive an e-mail notice...also if they send me a message. I don't have to go checking around all over the place. This has helped me find books I wouldn't have otherwise known about - ones I certainly wouldn't have gone LOOKING for.

There may be many benefits to Library Thing I haven't yet discovered, but I have to say at this point Goodreads is far better for my reading needs!

I gave up on the Library Thing as too complicated... So I'm afraid no help there. Enjoy your lunch!
