About me32 year old vegan spinster living in the desert of Southern California (which means it's too hot to go outside--best to stay in reading). I'm not sure if I really trust people who don't read; it's something I don't understand--like those who don't like sweets and/or chocolate.

About my libraryI'm doing the 999 challenge! Here's my thread with my lists:
http://www.librarything.com/topic/53726

I've only been keeping track of each book I've read since 2004 (in an elaborate and anal-retentive system), but there are many others not here that have been lost from my memory. There are quite a number of "library book" tags since I check out so many, and I like to keep them separate from the ones I own.

I thought about keeping my library private until I had entered all my books, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. So now the bookshelves are open for viewing (and mocking or envying, etc.).
