How to catalog my books with librarything
How I did it: I joined with a lifetime membership right off the bat. I wasn't kidding around. I spent months gradually entering all my books by title. Each book as a minimum of two tags; many have more! Your library is displayed in full color by cover. You can click on your tag and look at all of your "Urban Fantasy" books or all of your "Vampire Literature" books, for instance. My tag section also includes "Baby Goth", books for kids that include zombies, ghosts, and skeletons; "Pee Your Pants Funny", and "Never Judge a Book By It's Movie".
Anytime I purchase or obtain a new book, it goes into the library.
Lessons & tips: Be creative with your tagging system. Use tags that will make sense to someone else peeking in at your library. Other people will be attracted to your library and you can have conversations with likeminded people. I especially love getting new suggestions for books. I have found titles here that I never would have thought to look for.
