bookpedia vs. library thing
You know that old saying, less is more? Well I think that sometimes, more is more. So I've got Bookpedia going, and now I'm adding Library Thing, which is an on-line way to catalog books and share your lists.
Library Thing is very easy to use, but not nearly as flexible as Bookpedia. With Bookpedia I can add tons of additional information per book; LT is a little more basic. So I'm keeping Bookpedia and I'll use LT as a way to publish lists of books people might be interested in.
To start with I've got forty books in my LT catalog, all of them reference works I'm using for Queen of Swords -- and I've tagged them that way. You can see the whole list here, or see a random selection in the right hand column. Which hasn't been formatted yet but I'll figure that out eventually. Edit: list thing not working. No time to figure it out.
In case you're wondering, this is one of three data screens for each book in Bookpedia:

You can catalog up to 200 books for free at LT, which works cross platforms and looks to be a great community of readers. Give it a try. What could it hurt?

I thought I was off the hook when I realised Bookpedia was for Macs and I'm an IBM girl and then you give me this! Can't get away from it, I'll just have to spend my life cataloging.
