What is Library Thing?

[Belle]

I just discovered I am listed there but I have no idea what this site is all about. It almost makes it look like another goodreads.

I hear it's similar, but not owned by Amazon. But I haven't been on it, either.

Library Thing is owned by Amazon. Well, they own 40% of it. There are major differences between Librarything and Goodreads. The first is that Librarything has access to library records of books. When readers add books a library record is pulled up. The second is that groups have almost no participation on Librarything. It's more of a website for cataloging your collection than for social networking. But Librarything does have giveaways.

I have an account on LibraryThing, but only to list my books. In fact, someone left a review of one of my books on LibraryThing, so I check in once in awhile, but I don't really use it for anything.

I don't either. I was on LibraryThing before I was on Goodreads, but I'm sure glad I found Goodreads. I've been getting a lot more reviews since I joined Goodreads. I do check back now and then with LibraryThing. I now have a review on LibraryThing thanks to a reviewer from Goodreads.
