  1. Thanks for finally luring me to LibraryThing – What an amazing site (and an excellent way to avoid working on the dissertation!!!!)

    My LibraryThing username: AphrasDaughter

  2. A pile of favorite books–who could resist that? Plus I really need a copy of Persuasion. I’m assuming that’s a critical edition! (cough)

  3. Wow, a contest and a way to organize my books. What will you think of next, perhaps a contest that helps me organize the pantry or the kids toys. My username is 1wordlover. Thanks, Carolyn

  4. Does time spent entering my academic books into LibraryThing count as studying? Because I’ve got an ugly doctoral exam coming soon…

    I love contest, I have been meaning to do the library thing too. Thanks for getting me off my duff. I once did this from all of my journal articles and DVD’s (which are a lot), but have yet to catalog my many books.

  6. I now have to read Hearts and Bones…hope its not one of the out-of-print ones:)

    Username – Jenna

  7. My usersname : ahvelosa

    i’ve got all 400 CDs in iTunes and 200 DVD in Excel, and now I can start with all the books.

    Thanks for the incentive.

  8. LibraryThing is awesome! Unfortunately, I own (relatively) few books, unless you count textbooks! My username is chikkorae.

  9. OMG! This is the greatest thing since …well, not lsiced bread, but pretty close! I can’t wait to get to work on this….and I would luve your book pile – I have already read the series, but….OMG! OMG! OMG!

  13. This is SO COOL! I can’t wait to tell my other book-loving friends. Thanks for the tip. Glad you popped up on my Amazon homepage. . .

  15. I’m on Library Thing as amlopez. Looking forward to cataloging my library! And reading those books.

  16. What I like about Library Thing is that you can see who else has similar books to you and then try out the other books that they might have on their shelves.

  17. I absolutely LOVE Library Thing now! I can’t wait to get all books organized this way. I’m going to get my mom to do it too! My dream is to have one whole room in my house dedicated for a Library. I can’t wait until that dream comes true!

  21. Thanks for the incentive to get organized! Most of my books are stuffed in rubbermaid bins in a friend’s basement while we do renovations, but we’re getting near the end of finishing the room that will be my office and we just bought two enormous oak bookshelves–what fun it will be to unpack all my old paper friends.

  22. Nifty!

    I already have a year membership with librarything – I was over the 200 book cap on free memberships. I probably should have splurged on the life membership but I was pinching pennies at the time. Librarything is such a brilliant site! To think I might never have started reading your blog if I hadn’t caught my eye on your War of 1812 books. I love the unexpected ways in which the internet connects people.

    My librarything username is jest.

  23. I would especially love to get my hands on that ARC of Queen of Swords!

    Thanks!

  25. Now I understand why everyone says Library Thing is so addictive.

    I’m fascinated by the title “Tied to the Tracks”

  26. Sometimes my taste in books leads me to believe I love to delve into “trashy” romance novels. So no one judges me too harshly, I only put in a few of the GOOD books aka the wilderness series!

  29. Can’t wait to get started! Of course the first book I put in was my all time favorite “Into the Wilderness”. I loved reading what you have in your personal libray. thanks for getting me hooked on LibraryThing! I hope I can add a few more books from your personal collection sometime soon! :D

    What a great thing for a teacher! I can direct my students to the catalog and they can see which books I have and find out information about them! thanks for the information.

  33. Hi I’m an old fan. I am austrian and loved Homestead. I am also a fellow Chicagoan. I hope I win because I am a poor teacher and can use all the help I can get.
    Thanks,

  35. I absolutely cannot wait until Queen of Swords is released to read it….i am going to explode with my impatience and excitement!! username:lostinmyimagination (which explains my impatience, I get so caught up in the character’s life, I forget they aren’t real and right now, I have to help them find Jennet!)

  36. I had been meaning to try the library thing so this was a great excuse. My id over there is kinderny (pronounced with a short i sound).

  37. What a gift! Thank you! Now I can organize my books and maybe even be able to find them when I am looking for a particular one.

  38. User id is Diamondlil. Good things I am on holidays next week, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to feed my new addiction!

  39. Sara,
    What is all this? Another giveaway? You are too generous! You give us so much….like the pictures of your chairs and writing room…..LOVED those. I especially loved the paper bag next to the chair. Storage? or what you brought back from the book store that day? Now I will look at my shelves and get serious about reading whats on them instead if being tempted away to the library…..an addiction of mine! My user name is….CFS2050….same as here. Thank you
    Cynthia in Florida

  41. Me, organized? Yeah, right.

    But hey, there’s always a first time — and this way I might actually be able to not only remember some of the great books in my library, but recommend them to friends.

    I’m “Willybean,” the silly nickname I gave my dog Willow (because “editrix” was already taken)

    Generosity plus with the giveaway’s. Even if I don’t win I will have discovered new authors!! Thanks :)
    Absolutely dying out here in Oz waiting for QOS.
    And LibraryThing is a cool site too.

  44. Do you know how little time I have for fiction right now? (nursing school) and yet you go and publish 2 more books this year and find a neat online library thingy to distract me. I’m just trying to make it to spring break to finish Gabaldon’s last tome and maybe re watch a season fo Farscape, so come on summer and come on queen of swords (sigh)

  46. what a nice surprise to stumble across this site and the PLOG on a sunday morning. and a mental head slap to me- i just found out that lippi and donati are the same person.
    happy reading!

  47. Finally, a site to feed my book obsession! I am excited to see where it might take me. Much like a good book takes me to into the unknown and undiscovered. Plus, I’d love to have that pile of books! Thanks so much.

  51. I’m a long time lurker here. I don’t often enter contests, because I’m in Australia, but if that’s okay with you, I’d like to take part.

    I’ve had a free account for a while, and love it. It’s improving all the time.

  53. Thanks so much for directing me to LibraryThing. It’s a great concept and is also useful if one ever needs to make an insurance claim.

    Hoping to win your “Pile -o – books” particularly the one you like so much you’re reread it 20 times (must be excellent!!!).

    Also the ARC of Tied to the Tracks and Queen of Swords would be great.

    My LibraryThing user name is AndreaClark

    Thanks for hours of great reading!!!

  54. My username is Unsympathetic, and I think I’ve only got half my books done.

    I can’t thank you enough for turning me on to LibraryThing! I was looking for a way to catalog my books, and this fits the bill nicely.

    (And I hope I win, because I can always use some new books to read :))

  55. Nothing could be better than a pile o’books except a pile o’books with ice cream on top! Thanks for the intro to Library Thing now I have more ways to avoid actual job!

    Thanks so much for finally luring me into this new addiction. I’d avoided it until now — and trust me, it hasn’t been easy.

  66. User: twinslibrary
    Hi Rosina–Thanks for introducing me to LibraryThing, I love it. I started putting in my books and couldn’t stop. Also love your blog, though I’ve never commented before.

    Maybe I shouldn’t be entered into the contest, though, because I actually already have a bound galley of TTTT (I work at Penguin and was able to snag an extra). I’ve been meaning to email you to tell you how much I enjoyed it–if you’re interested, you can read the mini-review I posted on my blog for it
    here.

    But if you’re giving away a QoS ARC, please enter me into the contest – Hannah’s my favorite character and I can’t wait to see what happens for her next (good things, right? she deserves it!).

  67. Jennie — of course you can enter the contest. And thanks for that really great review of TTTT — it’s also the first one I’ve seen. Given your evaluation of some other books I like a lot, I’m pretty darn happy with my 8.

  68. Please help! What is this “Library Thing”? How do I become included? I LOVE your books (all the Wilderness Series) and came on Amazon this morning to recall the name of your novel about Austria so I could order it and there you were with the announcement of the book giveaway. I ho pe it’s not too late to enter. I sympathize with the floor thing. Many years ago we did the same and lived in our camper for two days.

  69. What a great idea!

    Can’t wait to read QoS! Reading Lake in the Clouds now and can’t seem to put it down… Already have a copy of the next one to avoid a lapse in books!

  70. Lost all my books in a basement flood, joined librarything and am surprised how many i have in just a few months time. Still have more to add. my user name is ana_namus

  72. Pat — if you look at the announcement again, I think the instructions are clearer now.

  75. Wow I had never heard of LibraryThing until just now. This is going to take long time to enter all my books in here but in the end it will be worth it!

    Thank you for the hours of enjoyment with your books! I read them all straight through once I had discovered them and look forward to visiting them once again.

    Thanks for the LT push too. Who knew?

  80. Oh sure, I start my evening checking Amazon to see if there’s a pub date for the next Sara Donati book…And then I’m lured to Library Thing and become a thingambrarian. (Is this degree accredited by the American Library Association?) As a librarian, I’m fascinated by the database. Guess I can quite using my Amazon wishlist as my organizer.

  88. I CAN NOT WAIT for Queen of Swords!!! My dad reads all the Sara Donati books, then I read them, then my dad’s girlfriend reads them… We are totally hooked! Pile o’ favorite books – can’t resist!!! I guess I’m a bit of a ‘book addict’; I just can’t stop myself!

    Now, I’ve got to go back and enter more books in my catalog – this is fun!

  89. Librarything is *way* too much fun! There’s something so pleasurable about seeing a bunch of books you own, displayed with the cover art out, on a website. I’ve just spent an hour adding and searching out books – I ended up adding many more than five – and am off to see what else I can do there. LOVE it!

  91. What delicious fun! Books are my life & love. I’m writing, but it’s only a bio for my grands and future grands – I’d give millions to have had one to read. Thrilled about the next Elizabeth Bonner book! Thanks so much for this fab site.

  92. Joined — I love LibraryThing. Now I have no excuse not to have my book collection cataloged!

    username: jmcarr2001

  95. Oh, you evil evil woman. You convinced me to sign up, and now I’m obsessed! Looking at my books. Looking at other people’s books. Thinking about what books to add to the collection. Thinking about books I know I own but can’t recall where they are. Linking to Amazon and inadvertently BUYING more books!

    Evil, I say.

  98. What a great way to keep track of favorite books! It is also a good way to find others who are as obsessed about certain types of books as I am….historical fiction.

  99. OMG, I just love these things! AND Queen of Swords, this is too much!!! Pick me!!! I will gladly take those books off your hands!

My librarian greeted me at her desk, holding Into the Wilderness – “You have to read this, the Outlanders are here!” I have been a “tickled fish” of your work ever since. Until offspring are done with school, I cannot buy books for me, my librarian has this on her must buy list. My Library thing username is: Senjiwe

    Thank you so much for all the hours of enjoyment reading your wilderness series. I was so sad when I came to the end and realized I had wait to see what happened to my “friends”. I truly believe a good book is like a good friend, so that last page is always hard.

The only thing is my reading list keeps getting longer and longer, and I just can’t keep up… I guess I’ll never get bored with all these books :-)
