LibraryThing Tuesday (17) + pic of Emmy

Today's question: Members who have your books. Do you ever look at this feature? Do you use it to make LT friends, or compare notes? There are three tabs- weighted, raw, and recent. "Weighted," which means "weighted by book obscurity and library size" is probably the least self-explanatory of the three, whereas "raw" and "recent" are more so. Do you get any kind of use out of this feature?

Three of my LibraryThing friends are in my top ten weighted, but that is just a coincidence - I didn't add them because of that, but because of the forums. I do like to look at "members with my books" libraries because I figure if we have a lot of the same books, I might find some other books I'd like to read in their libraries. In the beginning, I also went through them looking for books I had read to so I could add them to my own library. I have my library set up so that it is mostly books I have read and since I don't own a lot of these anymore, I add them when I run across them in someone else's library or if they are mentioned in a forum.

Luckily for everyone, I was able to snap a hilarious picture of Emmy again this week. When Daniel is illustrating, she'll often join to "help" him on his desk. Here she is playing with one of his pens so it looks like she's illustrating too.
