About me A few disjointed facts:

I lived in: Ukraine, Russia, Canada, Japan, USA.
I created a catalogue for my books when I was 10.
I am an archivist.
I hate peanut butter.
I don't like bananas, but I eat them anyway.
I like Guinness. A lot.
I have a cat.
I am pagan.
I have an obsession with learning new languages.
I will think of something else to include here later.

About my library This list will eventually include everything that my husband and I have at our house. A large chunk of our library is fantasy/sci-fi. We also have a large number of science books and textbooks. There is quite a bit of lit in our house, but I haven't gotten to those books yet. Most of them are ancient, and I'll probably end up entering them manually. I also have a lot of Russian books. Haven't even started on those yet. :)

I also keep a list of books I would like to read/currently reading on GoodReads.

My husband co-tags/co-rates books with me.
