LibraryThing is an online platform for book lovers that allows users to create and curate their own online book catalogs. Members can catalog their books, connect with other readers, and participate in a community of book enthusiasts. The site offers a tabulation system to organize books by tags, collections, and ratings to compile a personal reading history and create a reading list. LibraryThing's system is powerful enough for libraries, but easy for individual readers to use. LibraryThing also features book recommendations, book club resources, and a venue for submitting book reviews. The site is free for users to catalog and review up to 200 books, while unlimited cataloging is available for a nominal yearly fee.
