When I'm there I usually go shopping with my mother and it's a bit like a royal progress, because she pretty much does it all at small local shops. It's fun. The plum crumble seemed to go down okay too.Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721699631305175272.post-77273829328544747142007-12-14T17:49:00.000+00:002007-12-14T17:49:00.000+00:00Hi there - congrats on winning the 'connecting wor...Hi there - congrats on winning the 'connecting words' challenge!<BR/>I really loved your post about being with your parents a few days ago. I, too, love being back with my parents, and am intrigued to notice the parent-daughter roles re-establish themselves despite the fact I left home thirty-six years ago. And I love being spoiled with little treats like favourite meals. It only happens once or twice a year now, sadly, as they're half a world away.<BR/>Happy Christmas!Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175734326888791038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721699631305175272.post-40574489926129045902007-12-14T13:25:00.000+00:002007-12-14T13:25:00.000+00:00Interesting to read your comments about LT :)What ...Interesting to read your comments about LT :)<BR/><BR/>What I love most about seeing other readers' shelves are the stories behind the book titles - why does this book matter?, what characters did you love?, does it remind you of a person?, a place?, a time?<BR/><BR/>Suppose you took 20 of your most beloved reading experiences and boiled them into 1-2 sentences? These comments would be interesting enough by themselves. Combined, they would form a narrative about you.<BR/><BR/>That's the idea behind the book community we are founding - Dust Jacket Review, http://www.dustjacketreview.com. We do not (yet) have the cataloging tools that make LT so lovable - but we want to be a place for a smaller, more intimate bookshelf :)<BR/>I can learn a lot more about you from 20 books *with context* than from 1000 book titles alone. <BR/><BR/>I hope you'll come take a look. Thanks GeraniumCat for the wonderful post, and to everyone for their comments. <BR/><BR/>Best, CheyneCheynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425300947232877969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721699631305175272.post-2926420461760871002007-12-14T10:58:00.000+00:002007-12-14T10:58:00.000+00:00Thanks to everyone for your comments.

One of the things I enjoy most on Library Thing is adding some treasured old book, long forgotten by everyone except me, I think, and then discovering that someone else has a copy. And if it's sad to enjoy getting the book jackets right, it's also very restful - sometimes I want a task that isn't creative or demanding but does has a satisfying outcome.Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721699631305175272.post-53567747514419797942007-12-14T09:49:00.000+00:002007-12-14T09:49:00.000+00:00Yes, it's the social aspects of Library Thing that...Yes, it's the social aspects of Library Thing that I enjoy.

The closest I've come to cataloguing books that I've read is my blog that I started in Jan '07.

I've spent many happy hours looking at books I'd nearly forgotten about whilst entering them in. We've got books all over the house as well and still got lots to enter in. It's amazing how many of mine are pre-ISBN - I buy secondhand books as well as new ones. I like to have the right covers shown as well and have had to scan so many to get them correct - but all most enjoyable - how sad is that?BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721699631305175272.post-51159716885815952922007-12-13T12:46:00.000+00:002007-12-13T12:46:00.000+00:00I must get my Library Thing account back up to dat...I must get my Library Thing account back up to date!Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721699631305175272.post-81909155904458701112007-12-13T11:45:00.000+00:002007-12-13T11:45:00.000+00:00I adore LibraryThing.
