I enjoyed this week better than last.
Although I don't follow blogs I was able to easily find a blog on Cavalier King Charles Spaniels through the Tecnoncrati search site. I enjoyed reading about Angle and Bliss through The Spaniel Diaries http://spanieldiaries.blogspot.com/.
I love LibraryThing! The very last assignment (I hope you noticed the VERY LAST bit) for my course involved comparing and contrasting two different genres from the teenage fiction collection using a variety of texts as examples, I choose SF and fantasy. This was followed by another 1500 word case study in which we had to recommend a different genre to a teenager who had read everything in one genre (Fantasy - historical) again using texts for examples. Although I read a bit of teenage fiction I certainly don't have a detailed knowledge of our whole collection. This is where LibrayThing was wonderful. I was able to look up books recommended to me to consider (by the very helpful youth team), as well as books I had read in the past and read multiple book reviews and look at the tags to get an idea (or remind myself) of their plot, suitability etc. GO LibrayThing!!!!!!
I loved librarything so much that I joined it a few weeks ago in order to keep a record of all the books I read on it. I like the fact that I can give them tags in order to find them again as my list grows.
I also really liked del.icio.us. That's 3 out of 3 somewhat of a record for me! I set up an account and used it to find book reviews using tags such as books, teenage, young adult, book reviews. Coming back to it a week later I can see how valuable it is to have a list of sites which I probably would have forgotten all about, waiting for me to access them again. Go Del.icio.us!!!
