About my libraryA guide to some of my tags:
"borrowed" = books I don't own but have read
"borrowed audiobook" = same thing but in audio format
"tbr" = books I actually own and intend to read
"read20xx" = shows what year I read the book
"currently reading" = shows, um, books I'm currently reading
"house collection" = I live in my childhood home with my Aged Parent. Many of the books in the house have (from my perspective) just always been there or have appeared over the years. I don't consider them "mine" in that I have collected them but they are "mine" in that they inhabit the same space as me.
"loc:xxxx" = shows the physical location of the book (although they keep moving!)
Books I want to read or own
See my other LT account (brewergirl-wishlist) for books that:
* I want to read but don't own (yet!)
* I think sound interesting
* I want to get at the library rather than buy
I don't have any qualms about listing library books and other non-owned books that I've read in my LT library, but I drew the line at listing books that I haven't read AND don't own. Having those books somewhere on LT lets me access the list on my cell phone when I'm at the bookstore or library.
Wiki Page
I'm also trying to find a good way to use my WikiThing page. Keeping my wishlist there wasn't a rousing success (too difficult to keep updated), so right now I'm using it to make lists of my favorite books and series, what my book group has read, etc.
Reading Timeline
I am experimenting with a reading timeline. Not a timeline of when I read something - rather, a timeline of events about which I have read. Sometimes when I read a history or historical fiction, I lose track of what else was happening in the world at that time - or how it overlaps with something else that I have read. So I'm trying to plot events from my reading on a timeline. Check it out: Events From My Reading timeline
