The LibraryThing Alexa Skill is a weird but easy way to add books to your LibraryThing account. Just stand in the foyer, with a bag of new books, or on top of a rickety bookshelf ladder in the attic, and say:
Alexa, tell LibraryThing to add [Book Title] by [author]
And Alexa will add the book. Or it will try to. It’s not perfect.
To get a higher success rate, skip the title and author and just read the barcode, or ISBN number, off the back of your book:
Alexa, tell LibraryThing to add [Barcode or ISBN number]
There are a few other commands. Try:
Alexa, ask LibraryThing how many books I have.
