LibraryThing Author: Amanda Carrell

About me 29. Single. Published Romance Author (my book's now available at Whispers Publishing!). Bookworm. Bibliophile. Bluestocking. Member of RWA, RWAPI, FTHRW, RWAFF&P, CHRWA, HTHRWA, TBMRWA & Romance Divas. Owned by five toy poodles: Angel, Bailey, Cookie, Doodle & Errol.

About my library Work In Progress. All books I own. Most are in boxes stuffed in every corner of my house. Some are in storage. Obviously I buy (or get as gifts) way more books than I can read. This year I'm doing my best to work through some of my amazingly long TBR list (but I keep rereading some of my favorite books instead!).

Books tagged "reading" are at the front of my TBR list.

I've started adding in some of my Ebooks as I read them.

Covers used aren't necessarily the ones from my editions. I usually pick my favorite cover from all editions. I especially love (and miss!) the older, sexier covers on romance novels.

No ratings listed. I rate books at Amazon to improve my recs there.

Favorite TV: The Addams Family, Army Wives, Becker, The Big Bang Theory, Bones, Burn Notice, Dexter, Dirty Jobs, Father Ted, Feasting On Asphalt, Flash Gordon, Good Eats, Journeyman, Kyle XY, Law & Order: CI, Law & Order: SVU, Lois & Clark: TNAOS, Moonlight, The Nanny, Psych, Robin Hood, Saving Grace, Smallville, Supernatural, The Tudors, Two & A Half Men, Xena: Warrior Princess

Favorite Movies: 10 Things I Hate About You, About A Boy, Anne Of The Thousand Days, Bridget Jones 1 & 2, Casanova, Demolition Man, Emma (the Gwyneth version), Ever After, Fantastic Four 1 & 2, Fools Rush In, Gone With The Wind, The Island, Just Like Heaven, Just My Luck, The King & I, Kiss Me Kate, Kull The Conqueror, The Lake House, The Man In The Iron Mask, Mary Queen Of Scots, Mrs. Winterbourne, The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, My Fair Lady, Practical Magic, Pride & Prejudice '95 & '05, The Prince & Me, Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, Sense & Sensibility (1995), Scarlett, She's The Man, Star Wars Saga, Step Up, Superman Returns, The Truth About Cats & Dogs, Vanity Fair, A Walk In The Clouds

Hello and thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries list. Do you go back and remove the TBR when you finally read the book?

I started this school year (I'm a school media specialist) keeping a notebook with authors and titles and a short comment about each book I read. One of these days I plan to add the info to my LibraryThing. But that looks like it will be a summer project. I buy books faster than I can read them too. Again, I try to catch up a little in the summers. But I do have some that have been in the TBR stacks for at least 8 years. It might be time to recycle some of those to people who might actually find the time to read them. Another summer project!

Wow! What a collection. You are putting me to shame.

Good luck with your writing process. I've always wanted to try my hand at romance writing but there never seems enough time in the day.

Hi Mandy ~ Sorry I've taken so long to reply to your message. I haven't been online for awhile. I've been in a bit of a reading funk, but that's starting to change. When you left me a comment we shared 600 books ~ now it's over 700!

Hi Mandy, I've been scoping out your library, we seem to share a lot of tastes. We either have books in common or authors. I've only been on LT since July and I've been having more fun than is legal.
