Reading the April chapter of Aldo Leopold's 1949 "Sand County Almanac" to hear about April floods, oak openings and their disappearance with the coming of the settler, and the peenting of the woodcock.
There must be more books of natural history, written with one chapter per month in mind, composed over the span of a lifetime's observation or in one single year-long sitting. The back mentions Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, Robert Finch.
current books flow:
book ➡️ track on #LibraryThing
future maybe:
book ➡️ update data on #OpenLibrary ➡️ import book OL data into #BookWyrm ➡️ track on BookWyrm
why:
- simpler tracking site with less features seems less stressful. read more, online less (BW)
- supports open source projects (BW, OL)
- public data helps everyone (OL)
why I haven't switched yet:
- love LibraryThing's features: full edition control, stats, recs, data, etc.
plan: try the new flow for a while, then decide... 
Je découvre que #LibraryThing dispose d'une section consacrée aux bibliothèques patrimoniales de diverses célébrités et/ou lieux importants. Par exemple, 55 ouvrages pour une dame des temps jadis, 226 livres pour Amy Winehouse...
Y a-t-il ici des gens qui utilisent ces partages de connaissances, qui en ont testé la fiabilité?
After much lollygagging, foot-dragging, some dawdling, a touch of dillydallying, and a bit of shilly-shallying, I've migrated my reading library & tracking over to #LibraryThing. So far, so good.
New Year's resolution acheived. 🎉
Goodbye & good riddance #GoodReads!
Just in time for a little nostalgic binge of Niven's Ringworld books as a respite from the world. I haven't done much, if any, review writing. Maybe that will change after escaping that horrendous UI.

grad auf neue rezi-seiten gestoßen:
- https://www.librarything.com/more kannte deren MDS Wiki schon, aber wusste nicht dass sie auch ne rezi-seite sind. Hat sehr viele Ähnlichkeiten mit GR vom UI
- https://www.litsy.com/web/feed/ mix aus #bookwyrm und #facebook
#diday #alternative #buchrezensionen #buchplattform #librarything #goodreads #litsy
Today I scanned about 100 books into my #librarything library.
This app and website kinda suck, and I'm told it's the best option out there for tracking a physical library? Really??
