So, I decided to share some of my books with you so you can get to know me better.
Actually the plan was to document EVERY book I own but I realized what a big task this was going to be after the first sixty-nine. This is how far I got:

I clearly do need to finish documenting these books...
I even need to alphabetize them as I have multiple copies of some books because I forget whether or not I own them. I will have to gift the doubles. Pretty soon I will have a full-on library of books except without the trouble of sifting through the really bad ones. So, as you can see I love books...a lot. Even when moving across country and having to throw away most of my stuff I made room for the books. I can't bear to part with them. I will be old and grey and surrounded by my books.
Hope this gives you a better idea of who I am.
