The Rise and Fall of Shiny New Technology

Maybe you noticed my Shiny New Shelfari is gone (sorry Amy P, it was cool while it lasted). After I opened the account and began devising lists and shared my shelf with The World, ok, just you guys, I realized the process seemed vaguely familiar.

Der...I had done all of this before on Good Reads. GR does have a widget, as you can see, that adds covers. It also lets you create custom Shelves. Mine were/are Professional Reading and Sequoyah. I'm sure I'll add more.

So, since I had already devoted a lot of time an effort to my GR account I decided to go back with them. Besides, my RBF is on GR so somehow when we send each other notifications about what we are reading it almost feels like we're connected. :(

So, I haven't played with Library Thing yet...but soon. See that's the thing about 23 Things...it takes time.

What I'm Reading Next

I love my Shelfari List. I haven't tweaked it enough. Right now it shows just what I'm currently reading. However, my bedside table is littered with books -

The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan and One False Note by Gordon Korman...both from the popular juvenile series The 39 Clues.

Scarpetta by Patricia Cornwell.

The Devil in the White City : Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America by Erik Larson. (srsly...have started this one three times, guess I need to give up)

Return to Sender by Julia Alverez

The Girl Who could Fly by Victoria Forester.

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. A YA Vampire Romance...no, I did not love Twilight.

Holy Smokes by Katie MacAlister. Mostly supernatural beings and dog who doubles a demon from Hell.

Sunshine by Robin McKinley. Still more Vampires, but with better dialog.

Anyway, that's what I'm doing with my weekend!
