I really had fun setting up my account on Library Thing. I learned that individuals, small libraries, and classrooms use this website to catalog their books. I added seven books to complement my WebQuest on Clouds and you can find the books here. I love that the cover of the books are shown and that I can see the author, copyright date, and the users who have added the books as well as comments. I found that The Cloud Book by Tomie dePaola was the most popular book that I added!
I also looked at the ways people can communicate and find others with similar books interests on this website. I typed in my city and state under "Local" to see who was using this service in my area. I love that you can connect with others in this way.

Me, too!
