About my libraryTo be read for me generally means that I don't even own it and that I am CONSIDERING reading it. I need to break out the might-read-if-I'm-in-the-right-mood books from my must-read-this-book someday books. If I happen to own it, it'll be in my library, too. Any book in my read but unowned collection, but not on my wishlist is a book that I am not willing to give shelf space to at this time. My read but unowned and library collections are not complete, it'll take time.

You'll notice that a number of books no longer belong to a collection. Any book not in a collection belongs in To read. I probably won't get that fixed until sometime next year.

My Friends: The Mrs. Millers by Jane Duncan

are you still wanting Gerald Durrells? Cos I have a spare [Beasts In My Belfry] I could post if you PM'ed an address. It's only a 70s paperback, but going spare if you'd like.

I'm a fellow member, lurky. of Tattered But Still, hence having heard you wanted copies of that chap. (Saying that to sound less stalky)

Hi, I don't know whether you're interested in Jane Duncan's children's books, but if you are, I just noticed that Better World Books has Janet Reachfar and Chickabird available. It's a hardcover former library book. ($7.98 Canadian, probably less if you're in the US.)

Hey, I'm reading Snuff at present, too. Just listened to the audio, and went to the print book to enjoy it again.

I have extra copies of Grace Richmond titles, offering you first dibs before posting the offer on Tattered.
Cherry Square, At the South Gate, The Listening Post, The Brown Study,
High Fences, Red Pepper Returns, Red Pepper's Patients (spine tattered), and Mrs. Red Pepper (spine cover gone, binding okay.) free.

Oh, yeah! I borrow stuff like that all the time. I just know that when someone references and touchstones a book, I'm happier if I can learn something further about it. Glad you think so too.

hello, I hope it is ok that I added you to my interesting libraries, we share quite a few - from Anne of Green Gables to mysteries, the Mitfords and the Egg and I, so I think there must be more in your collections I should look out for:)

I've added you to my interesting libraries list. It's lovely to see all those Elizabeth Cadell and D. E. Stevenson books.
