Navigating site for a new member not easy.

I came to this site with a question but couldn't find a good place to enter it. I wanted to know the title of a book I loved as a 12 yr old who aspired to be a figure skater. Suddenly the title came to me "Bells on Finland Street." It should be listed as a YA book.

Where can one enter a simple question?
Where can one recommend a book?

Hi, Hattieky,

There is a group specifically for those who are looking for a book the title of which they cannot recall. It's the Name That Book group: http://www.librarything.com/groups/namethatbook

For general questions about the site, Welcome to LibraryThing is a good group: http://www.librarything.com/groups/welcometolibrarythin

You can also Take the Tour: http://www.librarything.com/tour/

Welcome to LibraryThing! The best place to find the title of a book that you've forgotten is the Name That Book group.

For general questions along the lines of "How do I" or "Where do I" this group right here is a good place to start. There's also a group just for new members — Welcome to LibraryThing, and also a Frequently Asked Questions group.

I hope this helps you get your bearings. It can be difficult to navigate around LT for newcomers, so please don't hesitate to ask more questions.

>1 Hattieky: I don't know whether there's a group here where you can offer recommendations at large for books you liked. But if you want to recommend a book that's very like another in some way, you can do that by going to the main page for one of the two & scrolling down to 'Add your own recommendation'.

>1 Hattieky: Did you find your book? It is here - https://www.librarything.com/work/2155897 -
There is a search box, top right of this page and many others, where you can find books or authors that you know. Follow the link, scroll down and you will find the 'Add your own recommendation' box that >6 bluepiano: described.

Have a look at 'Groups' in the bar across the top of this page and you may find a group with similar interests to yours, e.g. - https://www.librarything.com/groups/readyalit

Hope you will enjoy it here.
