Of course, Librarything gets bonus points for not requiring a log-in to search for particular titles. For this reason, we use Librarything to link to title information for the books that we talk about on our blog and podcast.

Still, I have not yet found the “killer ap” book site. Knitters have Ravelry — I want something more like that.
