About me About My Picture: No, that isn't me. It's a painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Here's the link. If you want some idea of what I actually look like, I can be seen in costume here.

Photography:
(There will be a preponderance of yarn and knitting for a while. They're for Ravelry.)

About my library See also:
This profile houses only books I have on my shelves, hard drive, and/or in storage. Pending the introduction of the much-predicted collections feature, I've created two other profiles for other kinds of books. Books I've read but don't own are on the profile AnnaClaire_Borrowed. The same account also houses the few books I've sold or have passed along through BookMooch; as I list books on my BookMooch inventory, I will move them to the "borrowed" account and delete them here. My wish list, sensibly or otherwise, is at AnnaClaire_WishList.

Also, I should mention that I've been going through what I've told Amazon I have, and adding books to LT if I haven't yet. Though the size of my catalog will increase a bit, that doesn't mean that my bookshelves are becoming more full.

What I'm Reading:
* Peter Ackroyd, The Life of Thomas More.
