I Like LibraryThing - #12

I really am excited about LibraryThing. It was so easy to create an account (yes, one more user name & password to remember!) and to add books. I know that I have a tendency to read all of one author, if I really like them, before I read others - that was obvious when I started adding books. One of my favorite authors is Karen Kingsbury, and another one is Jan Karon. I have a long list of books and authors that I plan to read, but never seem to have enough time - otherwise I'd be reading all the time!
One thing I did not remember seeing, but may have overlooked, is a way or place to add books (or authors) that I want to read. Is there a way to do this? I also think I added one book 2 or 3 times, but couldn't seem to delete any of them.
I know that it won't take long to get to the 200 books in my free account - guess then I have to decide whether to have a paid account.
Some selections in my LibraryThing catalog are:

I'm not really sure how to link to my LibraryThing catalog, so I'll add this as a possible way:

LibraryThing doesn't directly support "I don't own it but want it" entry. What many people do is tag books the don't own but want with a specific tag such as "toread" or "want". Then you can easily bring up your list based on that tag and remove the tag after you read/purchase it.
