Library Thing

I realized after one of my posts that this might be something that others in this community might like to know about.  

It is a great site both for avid readers as well as authors to share on.  

As a reader you can sign up for their early reviewers and request books.  Now it may take a few requests before you actually get one but once you do if you review it right away you are more likely to get more.  It is a great way to get a peak at new upcoming titles and often less known about authors as well... which brings me to the flip side of this.

If you are an author it provides you with a community that is interested in reading little known about books.  I am not sure of stats or anything but I do know our local library uses it to see what new authors & books are out there.

There is also a Members Giveaway area that lets you share books that you might have collecting dust with a community that truly will appreciate it.  Or maybe you have a favorite book that you have multiple copies of that you want to share.  

Hope this is useful to some of you!  It is one of my favorite sites to check out each month to see what is new!  I have already received 5 books from the site and I am quite selective about what I request.  It took me a couple batches (one batch per month) to get my first one but once I reviewed it I have had several more since then.
