List of Lists

Reed’s Next Reed points us to the NY Times’ 100 Most Notable Books of 2007.

It’s a mammoth list that makes me feel very much so out of the loop. There are too many on that list that I have never heard of! So I started poking around and found a few more lists:

The Telegraph
The Times

The Guardian

I guess it’s always fun to see what the “pros” are saying around the world, but I find a lot more enjoyable lists when seeing what’s hot on LibraryThing and BookMooch…  and blogs! Let me know if you compile your own “Best of 2007” book reading list. I’d like to check out your list!

Library’s site gets face lift

The JCLC has a new look to their site and user interface. The update looks great! What is interesting though is they have added “social networking” type functions. So people can now rate books they like, etc. According to the blog post, users will eventually be able to write reviews and make suggestions and such.

The coolness that is our local library system seems to be part of a trend, too.
