About meSerious bibliophile. Eternal student.

My mom has a catalogue of her books (which number in the thousands) on her computer (she took a few Microsoft classes and made her own - very nice, I must say), and eventually I was going to get around to doing the same thing, until I saw someone with this on their blog. So naturally I had to have one. And here I am.


I'm a Slytherin, baby, and PROUD OF IT!

And since we're on the subject of The Boy Who Lived, I will admit that I am somewhat interested (read: OBSESSED) with getting the books in foreign languages. I have 1 in Irish Gaelic, Ancient Greek, & German; 1-2 in Latin; the whole set in Spanish, French & Russian; now I'm working on getting 2-7 in German, & 1-7 Italian, and Portuguese. So there are some books in my Harry Potter collection that I may not actually sit and read all the way through, but they are there (and I'm buying them because I would love to be able to read them in those languages one day).

About my libraryLots and lots of "Urban Fantasy" - which basically means I love the supernatural in modern settings. The first author I read in this genre was Laurell K. Hamilton, followed by Kelley Armstrong. They were the big 2 for a while, until I found Kim Harrison. I was up to 3! Then came L. A. Banks, and now I have quite the collection (as you will see when I finish the cataloging). I have read a lot of them, most are still unread but I will get there eventually - I have faith in myself.

When I have time to spare for television, you'll find me watching much of the same. Buffy, Angel, Charmed, Heroes, Supernatural, Moonlight, Ghost Whisperer, Forever Knight, Firefly, Smallville (I couldn't resist, Superman was the man when I was a kid). I also love love love Scrubs, CSI (all 3 sets), Bones, Without A Trace, NUMB3RS, The Elventh Hour, Mythbusters, Smash Lab, and then there are lots of educational kid shows I watch with the cutie you see in the picture (my now 3 year old daughter - who did not like the idea of being in a giant bubble, even with Mommy). Classic kids shows we watch are Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street, The Muppet Show. And by watch I mean I sit in the same room - usually with a book propped open while she scampers around and dances to the music on the shows.

As a testament to his awesomeness, my boyfriend gave me a Kindle for my birthday. So expect there to be some increases in the amounts of books as I add in all the ones I'm downloading onto my Kindle. That thing is seriously awesome, and anyone who wants to have a large collection of items to read without having to have the large space to keep books should seriously consider getting one.
