About meA twenty-something bibliophile addicted to buying and reading books!

About my libraryI love reading, and will read almost anything. My library is a collection of books that I loved, that I keep for reference, or that I haven't yet read. Anything I didn't enjoy goes to BookMooch to facilitate getting more books that I may love even more.

A quick note about my tags: any tags beginning with . are about the book format, anything starting with _ indicates the location of the story, anything starting with @ is the Dewey Decimal Number and / or Library of Congress Classification Number, and anything else is about the content / story.

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

did you get to half price books? what did you think. I think the st louis park one is best and probably closest to bloomington.

Thanks for adding me to your Interesting Libraries. If enough people seem interested in the tags, I might make a group wiki page linking to all the tag pages, when I can find the time.

Yes, there is a chain in the twin cities area called half price books. there are a few of them up there. They would be in the phone book.
When I moved down here I was bummed because they don't have them around here. That is one reason I started the whole Bookmooch thing.

Ooh super, thanks. Yah I didn't get any of my books from home up yet. That will be a job for a rainy day this spring.

How embarrassing for me... but yes it is neat.

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed Persepols 2. I read the Complete Persepolis earlier this year, and I loved it. I'm actually planning to watch the movie this weekend. I hadn't heard of Payback until I saw it on your wishlist, but it sounded very interesting, and I love Margaret Atwood--I may have to add it to my own TBR list.

Thanks for my books! I am now reading Brother, I'm Dying. So far it is great. I have heard lot's of good things about the Omnivore's Dilemma too.
You also have good books in your library. We have very similar tastes.
Thanks again!
Pam
