I spent some time on Library Thing and was immediately attracted to the idea of cataloging my books, if for no other reason than it gives you a good idea of how many you have! So I catalogued my quilting books using their ISBN numbers. I put the widget on my blog, which was fun. I have many more quilt books than quilts, but that's okay. I also realized that since working in a library, I buy many fewer books. I think NCL should create "libraries" of books discussed by our Authors on Stage. I'll have to take a look around the site to see what they would link to, etc. Maybe the authors could be listed in the NCL profile, as favorites, which would take you out to their websites.

That sounds like a great idea! You could put the books in LT and use a certain tag to generate a widget.
