Organized chaos

It’s no secret that we are big fans of LibraryThing here at {head}:sub/head. They consistently do good work and offer up cool add-ons like widgets (see sidebar) and search functions.

But the smart folks over at the Fine Books & Collecting blog have a neat article about other options. Some I’ve heard of, others just sound like they’d be fun to try.

I just don’t know if we’d ever have more fun than we do over at LT though…

Sparks Signing

Nicholas Sparks is signing Dear John this Thursday (11/9) at Books-A-Million inside Brookwood Mall. Line numbers will be distributed beginning at 9 AM the day of the event.
You can call 205.870.0213 to get a copy. And if you sign-up for their email program they’ll send you a coupon for $2 off.

B’ham Book Forum

I just found a book-centric forum buried in al.com. It’s still active with just a handful of posts each month. But it’s been running since 2002. Good to know that Birmingham has things like this out there. I just wish they weren’t so hard to find!
