About meI have always loved to read, but I find making time for it harder and harder. This site has inspired me, however, to make more time for reading (and also for aquiring books, but that's another story). I also love books, especially really really old ones and ones that are brand new, particularly brand new trade paperbacks. I don't crack spines or bend pages, and woe be to you if you borrow one of my books and return it that way.

I also want to be Lorelai Gilmore and Buffy Summers, minus the teenage pregnancy and savior-of-the-whole-world things.

About my libraryI have a hard time not buying books when I'm in a bookstore, so I have piles of books waiting to be read. I have tried to stop buying more books until I finish more of the ones I already own, but that's only working so-so.

I generally prefer fiction, but I also tend towards political books by a few of my favorite authors.

I am very far behind on my plan to read all of the major works of the English language.

Hey - you know that the sew and stow book was more of a loan, right?
Thanks, Anna, and nice to meet you!

I'm kind of feeling my way with this whole "review" thing. I'm not certain how public the reviews are, so I'm not sure if I should make comments geared toward other people reading it/them or more as reminders to myself about a particular book, how I liked it, what the story was about, etc. I'm sure you're like me in that, sometimes - especially if you read a lot of books in a particular genre - you tend to get the titles/stories mixed up. I was figuring that if I left reviews for any new reads, they would serve as refreshers for me when I go back to rereading or not rereading them. How do you use the review option?

Meanwhile, are you a fan of the J.R. Ward Brotherhood of the Black Dagger series of vampire stories? I'm really enjoying them, and the next one comes out on Sept. 5. I can't believe I've actually gotten to a place where I know when books are being released! Talk about obsessed.

And like you, my TBR pile is humongous. But I just cannot manage to stop buying books. I went into Borders last week to pick up Brockmann's Into the Storm and walked out with two other books. Why do I do that?!
