About my libraryNote to all: If you see a problem in my library - error in author name or title or a review that isn't a review or anything like that - please, do comment and tell me about it. I want my library to be right! I won't _necessarily_ fix it the way you want, but I'd like to know anyway.

My WikiThing page (not that there's anything on it yet)

Testing CoverThing links:


. Unreadable (why was this garbage published?)
* Poor (it's a book. That's all you can say)
*. Not good (Doesn't quite come together into a story)
** Acceptable (There's almost a story here - hobbled by errors)
**. Readable (I can see how some might like this - not for me)
*** Enjoyable (I'm glad I read it, I might read it again)
***. Quite good (I probably will read it again)
**** Good (Well-written, will read again)
****. Very good (Highly enjoyable, will read many times)
***** Excellent (Rare top favorite, weaves into my life)

TBR - to be read - either I haven't read this or I can't remember whether I have
R1 - read once - I'm pretty sure I've read this but I can't remember it (well enough to rate it)

! on a tag is a source (got from...)
@ is a book I don't own - borrowed, discarded
_ indicates a tag that describes that book (as opposed to the contents of the book) - signed, ARC, CR, read...
~ is where I heard about the book - ER, Talk, one of my family...
^ is a todo - fix the cover, find the book, whatever
