About my library Reading journal (2000-2008 and a half) now up to date as of 18-Jul-08. I'm also including library books because this is a combo personal library plus reading journal.

CueCat is so cool - now entering books I haven't read yet. tbr-pile means "in the to be read pile" while tbr library means "to be read - book is somewhere in the house".

Tags are obvious except for meXX which is the year I read the book so tagged (e.g. me06 means I read the book in 2006) and maybe "ngf" which means non-genre fiction.
