About meI live in the Boston area, have two kids, and am a devoted fan of science fiction. Currently I read about a book a week, which I think is pretty darn good for a single mom with two kids and a full-time job.

About my libraryI have almost finished entering my own books, and will be starting on entering my kids' books as well. I continue to acquire books at a fairly high rate of speed, especially since I recently got a new job with a higher salary.

I'm using the tag "bookmooched" for books that I used to own but have swapped on BookMooch. I'm also using "not owned" for bookmooched books as well as books I've borrowed from others. The primary purpose of this is to enable the use of my "read in 2007" list. I don't generally want to keep a list of all books I don't own, so I'm just doing this for a small subset (for now).

My library consists primarily of science fiction and some fantasy, as well as some mysteries and other assorted randomosity. There are SO many books I'd love to own, but finances and bookshelf space are an issue.
