About meI am an over-educated, underpaid, life-partnered, work-from-home, homeschooling, open, transracial, adoptive, lesbian mom of two beautiful daughters. Tea, not coffee. Put the milk in first.
Now blogging for Babble.com at Strollerderby:

About my libraryI think ultimately there will be about 1200 books in here, so judge for yourself how complete it is as I go along. I shelve (and therefore catalogue) by category, including: fiction; general nonfiction (a lot of critical and cultural theory, a lot about race in the United States, esp. African American/white race relations); poetry; drama; biography; education; adoption and parenting (both theoretical and practical); queer studies (fiction, theory, self-help etc.); religion (especially, but not exclusively Christianity) and a nice set of Library of America editions of American literature.
My collection reflects my undergraduate days as an English language and literature major, a Master's degree in religious education, K-12 teacher's certification, coming out as a lesbian in my late 20's, a PhD in American literature with an emphasis on gender, race and sexuality between 1870 and 1920, and two transracial adoptions and consequent homeschooling.
The fact that I buy (rather than borrow) most of my books and hold onto them forever probably reflects having grown up the child of an independent bookstore owner.
I am also using Library Thing as a part of my homeschooling curriculum with my three-year old daughter, Nat. I plan to ask her to choose a book about once a week that she would like to "write" about, then take her dictation for a "book review" in her library. If you'd like to see what she comes up with, look for user "MyNat."

Edgar Guest
He was going to be all that a mortal should be
Tomorrow.
No one should be kinder or braver than he
Tomorrow.
A friend who was troubled and weary he knew,
Who'd be glad of a lift and who needed it, too;
On him he would call and see what he could do
Tomorrow.
Each morning he stacked up the letters he'd write
Tomorrow.
And thought of the folks he would fill with delight
Tomorrow.
It was too bad, indeed, he was busy today,
And hadn't a minute to stop on his way;
More time he would have to give others, he'd say
Tomorrow.
The greatest of workers this man would have been
Tomorrow.
The world would have known him, had he ever seen
Tomorrow.
But the fact is he died and he faded from view,
And all that he left here when living was through
Was a mountain of things he intended to do
Tomorrow.
