About meI'm a public librarian who was way too excited for my own good when I found out about librarything. I was a strange kid--I tried to put Dewey numbers on my own books. I'd prefer to work in cataloging or tech services, but alas, I am a Reference librarian!
About my libraryIt's very odd. I have had three great book purges in my life. The first one was when I was leaving 6th grade. I left my "babyish" books there. The second was when I reluctantly realized I couldn't keep all the books I scored when my college English department collectively discarded about 50 boxes of books. The third is in progress, so that my husband, who has even more books than me, can finally bring over his collection from his Dad's house. We have several hundred books to input, so this may take some time. I have lots of Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Doctor Who, and recently, tarot & various other occult things, since all things secret and forbidden and fantastic have always fascinated me. ("Occult" means "hidden", by the way, not "evil", in case you haven't ever looked it up.) You'll also find things from the childish and silly to the tasteless and heretical. Sorry--I'm an omnivore. I read everything! (When will Tim & co let us add the food packages and milk carton brands we've read, I wonder?)
I own or have owned many of the book listed here. Books tagged gave away, read work's copy, borrowed, and to borrow are things I don't own. Due to space and money issues, I can't necessarily buy and keep with me books that I really enjoyed, even though I'd love to. I can keep them with me here instead, all the books I loved and hated, where they can reveal to others my actual reading patterns, versus my buying-and-never-quite-getting-to patterns.

I must applaud your taste in Black Stallion books! Unfortunately my two teenage girls weren't even remotely interested in reading mine. Who would have thought?
