About me Well, I'm still under a book buying ban - but it doesn't matter so much now that I'm in library school, and I'm not supposed to have time to read for fun!

Luckily my current course has a requirement to 'immerse myself in children's literature' and I am very comfortable putting my head under the water.

About my library Woah! All of my books are now in one place. That place is a pile of cardboard in my sitting room. Cataloguing them all was a better idea in theory than in reality, but let's see how I get on! - OK they're in, now for the - ulp - tagging.

Policy:
- My wishlist grew out of control, so I stopped adding to it, but I am reading my way through it.
- I add books I've borrowed to my collection, mostly so I can review them.
- I do include free ebooks that I have read - again, mostly so I can add reviews, and note which ones to buy in hard copy.

Hello, glad you got the message. I'm just back from a trip to Porto Santo and Madeira (though this is hardly a coincidence because I spend a lot of time working there). You really must visit some time the land of your family origins - it is very beautiful. Not perhaps quite as spectacular as Vancouver, but it in fact has some similarites in that the high mountains rise right up from the sea. No bears in the forest though - I'll never forget seeing them from a cable car ride many years ago.

Hello Francesca, Your name just appeared on my similar library list. Checking over books it looks as though you have just added those compulsively collectable little books that Penguin put out a few years ago, so maybe there are few actual similarities in our collections - but reading through your comments I must sympathise with book buying bans/e-books/and moving continents. Anyhow Hi from Portugal.

Gerald
