Zombie Letters from e-zombie.com
This is so exciting. I have been curious about LibraryThing for some time, but had not taken the time to investigate it yet. I signed up for a free account and added a few books from my home library, as well as tagged them.

We've got a "coals to Newcastle" problem in our house, since I'm a librarian and my husband is a librarian. We both love books and reading. I often joke that we'll need to re-enforce the floors because of all the weight from the books—and we don't have a basement. One day I'll arrive home from work and the house will have disappeared into a sinkhole.
I'll need to add more books to my LibraryThing library, and will then explore more about adding a LibraryThing widget to put my library on my blog, as well as adding a Search widget that lets readers look through my LibraryThing library directly from my blog.
That's not surprising—the Librarians Who LibraryThing group is the one with the most members (6,366).
As a related item, Google provides a similar service with their "My Library" feature, with some nifty bells-&-whistles. There's a good YouTube video on their blogspot site on how to easily upload your titles, using a barcode scanner and the ISBN barcode on the book. I like the fact that you can then search the full text of the books in your own Google library.
