- About My Library
- Eclectic and hectic - not really organised and short of room, although do try to put on bookshelves (and windowsills and anywhere else) in author order. As our family collection of books is fairly homogenous, I am including Mr Hamster's (MrH and Baby Hamster's (bh) books (hence, due to the latter, you will see Harry Potter on this catalogue at some stage!). Have added another tag to included books covered by reading group (reading group, natch).
- About Me
- Live near Manchester in the UK. Love walking, family, friends, chocolate and of course books and am a member of a lively reading group (membership of which has broadened my reading habits - before those tended towards SF, fantasy and Arthurian epics).
Discovered this site thanks to the Guardian Wrap and Andrew Brown - what a brilliant idea for obsessive book lovers - also a good way to organise myself and also to learn from others' reading habits (and have a nosy at others' bookshelves - makes me realise that what I thought was a decent and diverse collection is actually quite puny!).
Welcome the "suggestions" feature. Would also welcome the development of a read but don't own option, as what I have read exceeds my libary (even if I wanted to and could afford to buy them all, there wouldn't be the space to store them) and would like to comment on and rate those books too! - Location
