A propos de ma bibliothèque

Well, it's pretty extensive. Reading is one of my favorite past times and is how I unwind at the end of work, or during lunch, or on a weekend when it's just the best thing to do. And my library has grown exponentially with the help and influence of my friends on both Shelfari and Leafmarks. I am open to biographies, historical fiction, fantasy (and some sci-fi) and general fiction though not as much. Classics from time to time, especially if I'm reading them as part of a group.

I have met books I didn't like, and I usually put them down and do my best to give a fair review. And I've found one of the best things for these books is through the site bookcrossing.com, where I can release these books into the wild and track them while they find new homes.

I use the following categories:

Wishlist: Oooh, that sounds like something fun or interesting and I like your review of it.

Read: Read all the way through

Currently reading: Still reading. Some books take a few weeks, some a few years. When I see the same books every time I open this view, it's time to finish it or release it.

Read but unowned: Released into the wild, or borrowed from the library for a group read or reading challenge.

Did not finish: It was just not worth reading all the way through. My interest, or the writing, or even the subject matter. Just nope.

A propos de moi
Another Shelfari castaway hoping to find similar friends and interests and reading challenges on this new site. I still enjoy reading quite a bit and have found that a) I really enjoy good historical fiction (i.e., no bodice ripping), and b) read more fantasy than true science fiction. But I like both genres and have friends in both worlds. And then there are the biographies and autobiographies that I find on bookshelves and find fascinating.

I tend to update LibraryThing on weekends since I still work full-time and play music on some weekends, or get involve in handcrafts. So sometimes it's a week between visits to friends' threads, sometimes closer to a month.

I still wander the shelves of several independently-owned bookstores, sometimes a Barnes & Nobles if I'm in the area, and sometimes I find book sellers at festivals. Always a good way to add to my own shelves, though lately I'm looking at the piles and stacks and reading from them.
