About meI live in Seattle in a tiny apartment, which is why I have so few books, (ha ha). I play flutes for personal amusement, and read a lot, but not enough to catch up with my collection.

About my libraryI tend to hoard books, so there is a nice mix of stuff from childhood on up which I can't bear to get rid of, and/or still like to read, as well as stuff I randomly bought and haven't read at all but just like the look of, or they seem interesting but I haven't gotten around to them, or whatever. Still working on tagging & organization, but it is getting better.

My ratings are not particularly scientific, they are to keep track of which ones I have read, and how much I recall liking them. Five stars either means I loved it, or I think it's a really good book, sometimes both.

Things in "Poe's library" and most of the Dungeons and Dragons books belong to my husband Poe, generally since before I arrived, so I can't take credit for them -- but I do like to play D&D. :) Poe's library consists mostly of mangas, graphic novels and comic books.

Just started collecting ebooks too, so those are in another separate collection. Some of them are duplicates, because they were free and I will have to put many of the solid books in storage soon due to joining the military. :/
