About my libraryEclectic...as my interests are, these days.

The collection '3651' represents books I somehow have a stake in that are at my parents' house. 'In Storage' is fairly self explanatory, while 'My Library' only includes books that are relatively accessible to me at this moment in time – on my bookshelves, mostly.

I've just joined bookcrossing, so BCIDs are likely to become more of a fixture in coming months. Otherwise, I'm using the comments field to keep track of where books come from or have gone. If you see anything you'd like to beg, borrow, or steal – or any wishlisted items you'd like to pass on – please leave me a message.

Oh, and check out my Librarything timeline here.
