Vision Catalogue

I don't think I read socially. 


I understand what it means, but it's not something I actively participate in.

I have an account in the Vision catalogue, but I only use it to search for books and place holds, or look up due dates for books I have on my library card. In order to keep track of books I've read and enjoyed, as well as books that I want to read in future, I use Goodreads, which I've only recently joined. Even though I use these "social reading" sites, however, I don't usually like to write about what I've read or comment on what others read.

I did create a list on Vision at one point, but it is a private list of books that I might like to read sometime. For this week's Thing, I created a public list (Fun Picture Books!) which includes some of my favourite picture books. (Library Lil by Suzanne Williams always makes me feel super cool.)
I also made a comment on one of William Joyce's books, The Man in the Moon, which has beautiful illustrations - as do all of his works.

I think I managed to follow someone, though it took me a while to figure out how. Thank you, Vision, for your little help box.

I'll keep practicing.

  1. The "Follow" button is perhaps one of the tiniest. How do you usually find recommendations?

    1. I usually just browse. Or search for specific titles.
