About meI read a lot, but not nearly as much as I wish I could.
About my libraryI'm more interested in keeping track of what I read than what I own, so for now I'm only entering books I have read, although I own most of them. I have decided that for children's lit, YA, and textbooks, I will only add those that were significant in some way. My original thought was to review and rate all the books I've read, then add the unread portion of my library, but reviewing hundreds of books takes a lot of time. My "reviews" aren't true reviews in most cases—more like notes to myself. I have a hard time rating a lot of the books as well, so my rating system probably only makes sense in my own head. Basically, I'm rating against similar books, so, for example, mysteries are rated mostly against other mysteries, not against the entire body of literature known to me. I'm stingy with the fives.

Come visit my library sometime. I, too, try to write about all the books I've read. A daunting task, but fun.

Anyway, as I'm only adding books as I read them (or if I remember a spectacular past read and am inspired) my catalog will never be the resource yours is, but perhaps you'd like to look at it. Take care!

I noticed that you entered Madeleine Is Sleeping with the spelling "Madeline." If you want to see who you actually share the title with, that correction should do the trick! Seems as though you liked the book (which I am just getting ready to read) and would want to know who you had it in common with.
Have a great day!
