About me I wish I had more time to read books, but I'm also an internet junkie. Too bad I lose one third of every day to this nasty sleeping habit I've developed. I still have a big bunch of books to add. I'm putting it off because they are very old, and will have to be entered manually.
I'm just crazy about LibraryThing, and I am often to be found drinking virtual pints and nibbling virtual cheeses in LibraryThing's best pub, The Green Dragon, which has become my second home.
About my library I started collecting books at the age of 15. As I've grown older I've been collecting them at a much faster rate than I can actually read them, much to my distress. I have recently
realized I've read less than half of what I own. So, why am I always in here yammering, when I should have my nose in my books? Because it addicting, that's why.

And see? Now I seem to have added The Girl with no Shadow to my TBR pile! I need a better head and more hours to the day.

The Girl with no Shadow sounds good! Are you enjoying it? Lots of chocolate and cheese?
I'm still reading The Return of the King - hard to read with many sore heads days, so it's been slow going lately. But I've been listening to lots of Jeeves and Wooster and that's been wonderful - I'm truly hooked now and on a mission to get lots of Wodehouse. He was a prolific writer, so many books to look forward to, such delights and silliness to come :-)
Hope you're having a good summer.

When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.

I know exactly what you mean about acquiring more books than you can read! My 'to read' pile is about as tall as I am right now.

My library is growing, the public library is PURGING, so I get first dibs on the discards although those books are usually YA and Juvenile books that I would never have gotten on my own. Still, I'm building an awesome library for my future grandkids.
As for books for me, I scored on a few that I NEEDED to have, (Out of Africa), on a trip to NY last month.
Hope things are going well...
