*** For the first time in a few weeks, I am posting a Ten on Tuesday list I came up with myself. As I’ve mentioned a couple of times lately, my favorite guest blogger has been gearing up to go out on his own, and he’s got his Ten on Tuesday list posted at his brand-new online home. Please check out Tall Paul’s list at Blogenstein! (How did he come up with that title? Find […]

TBIF – Thank blog it’s Friday! #3
Tuesday Thingers (hosted at The Boston Bibliophile) Today’s question: LT and RL (real life)- do you have friends in real life that you met through LibraryThing? Have you attended any LT meet-ups in your area? Would you be open to attending meet-ups or is LT strictly an online thing for you? Interesting question, given that the online/RL intersection has been a bit of a theme around here this week!So far, I haven’t met anyone through […]
TBIF – Thank blog it’s Friday! #3
Tuesday Thingers (hosted at The Boston Bibliophile) Today’s question: Favorite bookstores. What’s your favorite bookstore? Is it an online store or a bricks-and-mortar store? How often do you go book shopping? Is your favorite bookstore (or bookstores) listed as a favorite in LT? Do you attend events at local bookstores? Do you use LT to find events? A similar question was asked in a recent Booking Through Thursday, and I said: (E)ven if Amazon.com disappeared […]
Paul’s Ten on Tuesday: Bad guys, bad guys…
Someday I’ll probably have to go back to writing my own responses to Ten on Tuesday, but not just yet. This week’s topic, “10 Favorite Villains From the Movies,” is another one tailor-made for my husband the movie maven, so here’s another guest post from Tall Paul. Interestingly, a couple of them also made an appearance in his earlier guest post naming “10 Favorite Movie Characters.” Is that support for the idea that the bad […]
TBIF – Thank blog it’s Friday! #2
Tuesday Thingers (hosted at The Boston Bibliophile) Today’s question is only marginally about LibraryThing but I thought it might be a fun question anyway. It’s more about blogging. Everyone who participates in Tuesday Thingers has a blog- some have a book blog, some have several, some have blogs that are more personal, etc.- and we’ve all chosen to participate in this particular way of networking to build traffic, get to know each other, etc. So […]
GUEST POST – Paul’s Ten on Tuesday: New Olympic Events

Pleasewelcome my favorite guest blogger, my husband Paul, back for a returnengagement at The 3 R’s!(BTW, and you heard it here first, he’s seriously thinking aboutstarting a blog of […]
TBIF – Thank blog it’s Friday!
Tuesday Thingers (hosted at The Boston Bibliophile) Today’s question: Cataloging sources. What cataloging sources do you use most? Any particular reason? Any idiosyncratic choices, or foreign sources, or sources you like better than others? Are you able to find most things through LT’s almost 700 sources? 700 sources?! Wow. I can’t imagine ever using that many…and since I suspect that many of them are probably from other countries and/or in languages I don’t read, I […]
Ten on Tuesday – Some like it hot, but not us
Lately, I’ve been sharing the Ten on Tuesday prompts with Tall Paul when they come out (a week in advance – thank you, Yano!), and some of them are more inspiring for him than they are for me. This week’s topic, “10 Things to Do When It’s Too Hot to Go Outside,” was one that I thought he’d weigh in on, because he’s an expert. He avoids hot weather as much as possible – and […]
TBIF – Thank blog it’s Friday!
Tuesday Thingers (hosted by Marie of The Boston Bibliophile) Today’s topic: Recommendations. Do you use LT’s recommendations feature? Have you found any good books by using it? Do you use the anti-recommendations, or the “special sauce” recommendations? How do you find out about books you want to read? I’ve glanced over the Recommendations that pop up on my LibraryThing home page, but really haven’t followed up on any of them. Since they’re based on my […]
Random bookworminess and Weekly Geekiness
Thursdays are usually review days around here. Today I’m offering a movie review – because I haven’t managed to finish my current read – but not wanting to stray from books entirely, I’m answering this week’s book-themed “Randomness” meme. Randomness: Bookworms (hosted by Naida) 1. What are you currently reading? Still reading Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, and the Journey of a Generation by Sheila Weller. It’s a long book, so […]
Ten on Tuesday, sort of: Celebrity Edition
This week’s Ten on Tuesday topic, “10 Least Favorite Celebrities,” really isn’t doing much for me. I try to stay away from the entertainment-gossip-oriented websites and TV shows (although having said that, TMZ on TV can be hilarious, mostly because of the snarky voiceovers), which helps limit my exposure to so-called celebrities who may have been on a reality-TV show once or twice, but are now mostly famous for being on gossip websites and in […]
Friday Q&A – this time, it’s a classic
Tuesday Thingers 7/15 – Book-swapping (hosted by Marie of The Boston Bibliophile) Today’s topic: Book-swapping. Do you do it? What site(s) do you use? How did you find out about them? What do you think of them? Do you use LT’s book-swapping column feature for information on what to swap? Do you participate in any of the LT communities that discuss bookswapping, like the Bookmooch group for example? Well, I have to say “yes and […]
