Recent Acquisitions #45

[littlerdog.livejournal.com]

Husband brought me home two books today from Waterstones. Isn't he kind!

Veni Vedi Vici: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about the Romans but were Afraid to Ask by Peter Jones
and
The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson.

Pretty cool, huh?

In other news, I've just started cataloguing my books (extant and potential) over at Libib. There's an ISBN scanner for their mobile phone app that works fairly well, although it doesn't like Gollancz Masterworks very much for some reason, and it hilariously catalogued one of my books as a German language non-fiction rather than an English-language fiction. A minor error that was easily corrected on the website.

Libib seems slick and fast so far: you can add books manually or through their search function; you can tag books however you want; you can edit book entries easily; and you can play with the scanner app. The mobile version of your shelves syncs with the website version so you can update anything you've scanned in to the site and any changes you make on the site will sync back to your phone at the same time.

So far so good. I really need something of this sort to at least attempt to get/keep the books in order. Thanks to monissaw for the heads-up.

Wishlists

You can view the wishlists I've made public at Libib's public face. Should you so wish.

Two so far. Assorted can only grow but I'm hoping Mistressworks will shrink.
