Thing 35

I was happy to learn about lib.rario.us (although it has one of those annoying names).  I like LibraryThing, but found it didn't work well for me in the non-book arena.  I got a Blackberry for Christmas, so the BooksinMyPhone site is one I will visit again.  I have visual bookshelf on my Facebook page, although I keep forgetting to post what I'm reading.  There are so many book group/book info/book idea sites out there.  I don't use them much unless I'm after something specific.  I was amused by the Book Stumpers site that charges $2 to post a vague memory of a book to see if somebody can identify it.  The librarians in my library system have a stellar record of identifying books from vague memories and they do it for free.  I also got a kick out of the BookCrossing site - I like the idea of releasing books into the wild.  I looked at "Books in the wild" info for Minnesota and I just have one question - what's up with Little Canada?
