I' ve been using library thing to show new books for music on my music blog. it was a really simple thing to do and I've been updating the lists quite regularly. The widget works really well and it's nice visual for the blog (not sure how "legal" the cover images are though?)
I've now added some of the fiction that I can remember reading in the last six months . There were others but if I can't remember them now, why would I bother putting them in Library Thing?
Perhaps I could use it for books I've read and given away, or even books I want to give away?
To divide the books up as I'm not sure I want to show the music students what I've been reading ... or maybe I should?, I've put my books into a folder. That was easy, but it's a shame that the names are pre-set. I've also played around with making sure that my books have the right cover images (important for me as that's how I remember them and I do judge a book by its cover....!)
I think the recommendations are interesting but no more useful than amazon - I haven't shared my list with other library thing users yet.
