It's not a "time waster" my husband said, it's a "time consumer".
I had enjoyed poking around in the Google Universe, and before I knew it - a looooot of time had elapsed! I eventually settled on creating some Bookshelves using Google Books.
What do I Like?
Google Books seems to be about so much more than just the Bookshelves, but that is what I have played with most. It's neat how the list you create includes a cover picture and a small synopsis. Also, you can choose to share your Bookshelf with others if you like, or just keep it to yourself.
What do I Dislike?
It would be nice to be able to "drag" the books from one shelf to another. It would also be nice to be able to have a book on two different Bookshelves. For example I am currently reading "Dumb Witness" by Agatha Christie. I would like it to be in both the "Reading Now" shelf, and also the "Agatha Christie" shelf that I created.
Would I Recommend this Product?
I would recommend that any book lover play around with this product, and I will continue to "interview" it. However, keeping a "list of books I've read" for my own interest, I think that a simple Word document is the fastest and easiest recording method. The Bookshelves are a great way to share. Also as well as being a lover of books to read and peruse, I'm also a lover of blank books to write lists in. And journals made with fancy paper and beautiful covers that can be carried around and touched, with pages that turn.
Now, if Google made some type of recipe organising product I would be very happy!
