How to Add Books in Google Book Search’s My Library

Most of the books I read before were just school textbooks, or self-help books. It was only when I decided to finish reading Edith Hamilton’s Mythology book, seven years ago, that I began to get interested on reading fiction books.

Today, I just finished reading Mitch Albom’s ‘For One More Day‘, and I added it to My Library at Google Book Search. My rate for the book would just be 3.5 stars, though it inspired me to become a great mother someday it was not as great as Tuesdays with Morrie. Maybe because I really haven’t lost a love one yet that I might not be able to relate to Charles Benetto’s feelings. However, through his story I learned to appreciate my mother’s love for me.

But anyways, the site really don’t allow a .5 rating so I would give the book 3 stars. 4 stars is too much. Here are some books I have added in my online library:

“My Library” on Book Search was introduced on September 2007. Since then, users can create and manage a personalized library.

If you have an account and want to add books in your library, just type on the search box the title of the book you want to add. On the search results just choose a book to add, and click the link ‘Add to my library‘.

After adding, go to your library page then began labeling, reviewing, rating, and adding notes to each of your books. The link to ‘My Library’ is found on the upper right corner of the Book Search web page. Also search your customized selection of books whenever you need them. These collection of books can be shared to your friends by sending them a link to your library. So this is the link to my library, and this is the link to my RSS feed if you want to be alerted whenever I add a new book.

I really don’t have time reading all the books I bought, so I prefer to describe myself a bibliophile rather than a book reader. And I really just love the smell of new books. Probably, I would own a real library someday with two thirds of the books left unread.
