About meI love books--the smell, the weight in your hand--pretty much everything about them. I enjoy cooking and baking, computers, word puzzles of any kind, chess, cryptography, knitting, spinning and playing the bagpipes.
About my libraryMost of the books are confined (ha!) to the bookshelves in the finished basement. Far too many of them wind up in the living room on the coffee table, on the dining room table, on the couch, on chairs, piled on the floor, in the bedroom, the computer room's pretty much overrun--let's just say they like to roam free. Those that are on the shelves are organized in a way that makes sense to me, but probably not to anyone else.

Thanks for your suggestion on the Bates books. I'll look them up. I've read several Asey Mayo mysteries and liked them very much. For some reason, the period between the World Wars and shortly thereafter really appeals to me right now. I think it's the change of seasons. I recently unpacked a whole box of D.E. Stevenson's books that I'd completely forgotten about. I just intended to browse Miss Buncle's Book and got so caught up in it the whole afternoon whizzed right on by. I love those old comfort reads.
I'm beginning to think I'm never going to be finished adding books to LibraryThing. I do love mysteries, as you can see, but I do read other things, too. I'm in kind of an essays mood these days.
Thanks for writing!

I noticed that you have the Mary Lasswell books. I loved this series and wish someone somewhere was writing something similar these days! The old gals were a hoot! I tried the Covington series, but those were much more serious and not a bit funny. If you know of any funny novels from that era, will you please tell me about them?
Best,
Janis Watson
