About meI'm a librarian in the northeast. I have an obsession with books, but this is not related to my being a librarian- each functions independently of the other. I live for moments when books cross into my little web2.0 world. I am a Bookcrossing member so I love to release books that I get. I also participate in Paperback Swap to get rid of and find new books. I have a personal goal to read all the books in Nancy Pearl's Book Lust (both volumes). It's about 4,000 books over 2 volumes. I am just focusing on the first volume of books and I expect it to take years, maybe the rest of my life.
Other things about me, I am a novice public speaker. I am an instruction librarian so I guess on some level I am a professional speaker. I would love to be a real professional speaker some day. I am a member of Toastmasters to help me make that happen. I live for Apple products, if only I could afford them all. I live with a cat who thinks books are chew toys.
About my libraryMy library is an odd thing. It is a combination of things I have read, things I own, things I have listened too and things waiting to be read. If items are tagged with "swapped" it could mean many things, but the one thing it always means is that I no longer have it. I also have a "Book Lust" tag to note items that are part of my Book Lust challenge and a tag "book club" to note books read with my book club. I live to tag so I could really go crazy if I wanted.

We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down.
We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.
-- Arthur O'Shaughnessy

The book lust "challenge" as I call it is coming along. Slow but steady. I am definitely interested in the group. The only sticky point is that I have a decidedly weird system for how I chose which books to read when. For example Jane Gardam was born in the month of July so I read 'Bilgewater' as a tribute. Idaho became a state in July so now I'm reading 'Finding Caruso' (set in Idaho). See what I mean? Quirky system but it works for me. ;)
ps~ you are verrrry ambition to add the Crush books to your list! I don't dare!
