About my libraryThis is not yet all of my library, and have included books I've read as well as own so I can keep track of what I've read (as memory seems to be getting worse) but the borrowed ones are tagged as such.
Until I added my books here, I had no idea how many Hardy Boys/Chalet School books I owned. Far more than I remember reading. Are they all the same story, I wonder? I concluded, after adding my childhood collection that all I read were mystery type books, so I must have been an annoying child.
I'm now buying more books than I can read as BabyPalmer and full time work take up all my time. Curse 3 for 2 offers that make me spend money!
