Good idea….
I use LibraryThing to catalog some of my books at home. To share these poplular science book suggestions, I’ve added a script to the left column of the KABT resource page that presents random books from my library. You can click on the “Click Here” to go to the complete catalog. The catalog is not anywhere complete as an example, I haven’t included my field guides, texts, etc. but it is a start
