Ha! I'm actually off today. And posting! Twice in as many weeks! But really, this year got off to a rocky start after all the trouble last fall what with the needing the new roof, new boiler, new tenants, etc, but now things have moved on and hopefully up ( Read more... )

While I didn't manage to post as often as I'd like, I did manage to complete the resolution I made for this year which was to read 150 books (manga counts) and for them all to be books off my own shelves, not any that had been loaned to me... argh... no wait, that last batch of scanslations wasn't off my shelf, DARN IT! but I still hit 150 without ( Read more... )

Another backdated post for my 2011 book challenge which I forgot to post when it happened. This year I didn't have a hard goal, I just read however many books came naturally; or, at least, that was the idea. After I missed two entire months of reading because I was playing Pokemon, I panicked a little and made more of an effort so my count wouldn't ( Read more... )

This is a backdated post, since I realize now that I never put up my list of books read for 2010 or 2011. For this year I increased the goal from 50 to 75 and allowed manga (which I had not allowed myself previously because I was specifically trying to read more books.) After a while I felt like I was cheating a little, so even though I read and ( Read more... )

Many of the librarything users are making polls from the books they've read this year, and I've had fun filling them out so I decided to post my own. These are the 74 books I read this year - mostly sci-fi, fantasy, and young adult. Some of them were loaned to me by my sister or some of the teens at dance. We have a book exchange going on and it ( Read more... )

Today I finished my 49th book of the year. W00t! I have gotten so many new books of all kinds since I joined Bookmooch that I don't even know what to look at next. Last year I finished my 50th in the middle of September so I'm wondering if I should try to choose an easier book to get my 50 done in August? Is that cheating? Aagh!

Decisions!

I will say ( Read more... )

Now that I have access to most of my books I finally (finally) went to go try out Bookmooch and I am totally in love. I can't help myself. I have probably sent more packages in the last two weeks than I have ever sent in my life. And mooching! I saw something recommeded by my librarything tags and immediately snagged it from bookmooch. I have so ( Read more... )

This blog mostly keeps track of when I've been sick (since Friday, UGH, I feel miserable) or otherwise injured, so it's nice to have actually watched (or in ths case rewatched) something for a change. I've kind of missed that ( Read more... )

I am getting all of my various media prepped for cataloging in anticipation of the wall o' bookshelves that we still have not yet erected but will eventually, really, someday. This leaves me in need of suggestions for good online cataloging sites.

These are the ones that I've found:

www.librarything.com -- Books -- I am totally happy with this site, ( Read more... )

Figured I'd get this one last post in before the year is over. I didn't have any New Year's Resolutions to make or break, though the one thing I did manage to do was finish my 50 book challenge! Go me! I actually finished it in early September, but have been either been busy or sick since then so I didn't mention it. I am 80% through my 62nd book ( Read more... )
