Author Carol Malone discovers LibraryThing?<\/h2>\n

Today we welcome back author <\/span>Carol Malone<\/a> as she shares another amazing aspect of the writing journey – that of getting your book in front of as many people as possible, using LibraryThing.com. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Is it like Dr. Suess<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 “Thing One<\/i> and Thing Two<\/i>?<\/a>“<\/strong>\u00a0Not quite as poetic or colorful. LibraryThing.com<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, is \u201cA home for your books,\u201d and \u201cA community of 1,700,000 book lovers.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

LibraryThing is a site on the web for authors and readers to connect.<\/strong> The group provides more features than GoodReads<\/a><\/strong>. It is similar to Facebook<\/strong><\/a> in that you add friends, and meld together your thoughts about books and reading. The community appears to be vast and extensive in their interest base for the members. It looks like a place to make superior connections as an author, and a place to help with promotions. But readers are encouraged to comment, and\/or review, and together the entire community can have access to a multitude of books.<\/span><\/p>\n

LibraryThing members extend worldwide, and the books that are cataloged already total 88,573,075.<\/strong> That’s a lot of reading to do. There is the usual sharing of books either you own, the books you\u2019ve read, books you’d like to read, and even a category for books you own and can lend out. You contribute to the description of other books and add tags, ratings and book reviews. They feature something called \u201c<\/span>Common Knowledge<\/span>\u201d which includes details of an author and their books.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joining is a simple process \u2013 Just follow these user friendly steps:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to https:\/\/www.librarything.com\/<\/a>\u00a0and CLICK<\/strong> on the box JOIN NOW<\/strong><\/span>; you’ll be asked to enter your name and choose a password then confirm it, and add your email; or you can join through your Facebook or Twitter account.<\/li>\n
  2. Then you set up your profile.<\/li>\n
  3. Upload pictures of yourself and your library in the MEMBERS GALLERY<\/strong><\/span>.<\/li>\n
  4. Make sure to mark if you want comments public or private.<\/li>\n
  5. Edit your account settings in your profile page.<\/li>\n
  6. Start adding your friends and search for those who may already be on the site.<\/li>\n
  7. Add Your Books<\/span><\/i><\/strong> by following the step-by-step directions on the “About<\/span><\/strong>” page.<\/li>\n
  8. You can add your book list from Goodreads using in “Import<\/strong><\/span>” <\/strong>feature.. There are steps to follow to do this so you don’t have to do double-duty.<\/li>\n
  9. Adding books to your library automatically connects you to people through a “Work page<\/span><\/strong>,” and gives you library-quality data about the books you’ve entered and shows you who else has the book, and what they have said about the book.<\/li>\n
  10. You can next set up your author page – much like Amazon’s author’s pages.<\/li>\n
  11. Join a group or many groups in your fields of interest.<\/li>\n
  12. You can share you LibraryThing library to anyone on your blog with a widget or through tags of the books you’re currently reading.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"LibraryThingMyBooks.bmp\"<\/a>It\u2019s important to set up your home page and start adding books right after you create your account.<\/strong> This way LibraryThing.com<\/strong> will begin of help you make connections. When you enter you\u2019re the books you\u2019re interested in, you’ll automatically get recommendations. These recommendations come as a list of automatically generated books that might be of interest to you. There are reviews, stats, memes. You can tag books and authors you have a preference for. You can view lists of author pictures with their books, which I believe is similar to GoodReads.<\/p>\n

    The central focus of LibraryThing.com is sharing your books with steps similar to adding books in GoodReads<\/strong>, although not formatted as colorfully as GoodReads. And there is a limit to how many books you can add without being charged. So if you are a prolific reader, you might need to pay a fee to house your ginormous collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can add friends and share lists.<\/strong> You can view your friend\u2019s books, what they review and their book ratings. And you can leave comments much like Facebook on your friend\u2019s book selections either privately or publically.<\/span><\/p>\n

    One feature I like is the “Zeitgeist Overview<\/span><\/strong><\/a>” section. You can view at a glance top rated items like: libraries (within LibraryThing.com), top authors, top tags, most prolific reviewers, top 25 books, etc.<\/strong> One interesting fact is that some person has reviewed 35,799 books. Wow! That person doesn\u2019t do anything but read. How great is that?<\/p>\n

    Besides adding books that you have read or want to read, you can add your local book events<\/a> like contests, venues to meet up, workshop announcements, readings, promotional tours, even sing-a-longs.<\/strong> I don’t think GoodReads has anything like that.<\/p>\n

    There’s a \u201c<\/span>TALK<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u201d feature that allows you to start discussions on a variety of topics<\/strong> \u2013 lots of them have nothing to do with books. One I found particularly interesting is <\/span>“Male porn stars only earn a third as much as female ones! Oppression!”<\/i> Like I said, you can find any topic to discuss.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The section under the title, \u201c<\/span>GROUPS<\/span><\/strong><\/a>,\u201d lists all sorts of writing\/book related groups. I found one that was of interest: “Hobnob with Authors<\/strong><\/a>.” There are genre groups from Fantasy to L-Chi’ang Chao Poetry. There is something for every taste and practically every interest.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    What I like about LibraryThing is a thorough introduction to the site with step-by-step instructions<\/strong> under their <\/span>“About LibraryThing<\/strong><\/a>“<\/span> tab. You are walked through the process to set up your profile, load your books, and make connections. In other words, it is extremely user-friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What today\u2019s authors are looking for is exposure, exposure, exposure.<\/strong> LibraryThing is another in the cosmic social media universe that allows an author to connect with friends, readers and fans in a way I\u2019ve not seen before. If you join, can you let me know what you think of their features?<\/span><\/p>\n

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h3>\n

    \"CarolGood2\"<\/a>Carol Malone<\/strong> has successfully combined her three passions \u2013 sports, writing, and romance. With her 5-Star rated book \u201cFight Card Romance: Ladies Night<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d she became the first woman to climb under the ropes of the boxing ring in the male dominated territory of the Fight Card book series<\/a>. Her story is a genre mash-up of happily-ever-after and kick-in-the-pants, fist-pounding action. If not hammering out new tales that entice her readers to scramble into a front row seat for thrilling tales of physical endurance or swoon to stories of tender passion, Carol\u2019s reading, watching sports on TV, or hanging with her author husband on the Gold Coast of California. She\u2019s always ready to talk sports and amour. Follow her on her author page on Facebook<\/a><\/strong>. or Tweet her on\u00a0Twitter<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0She invites you to please come to her website<\/a><\/strong> and subscribe to \u00a0her newsletter for all her latest book releases.<\/p>\n
