Out of curiosity, I also looked at
Goodreads. Of the two types of book "cataloging" sites, I prefer Goodreads. I find it to be a little more user friendly. You do not have to know the titles of the books - or even go find them to input them in. Instead, you tell the site about the genres you think you read. From a rubric, the site offers you possibilities. As you rate the sites, a rubric determines possible recommendations and other book options you might have read. It is very interesting to see what this rubric brings up. This different format made it actually easier to identify books.
Goodreads also allows one to accept recommendations by 'friends'. This 'friends' linking mechanism makes it easier to find librarians and follow subjects. Similarly, Goodreads allows you to separate book shelves and organize books by a subject or genre. This site I actually think is better for librarians because of the rubric and genre shelving.
