About my library I have a massive amount of books that I own, but have not read yet. I love it when I randomly feel like learning about a subject, and I have a book that I can read just sitting on my bookshelf, waiting for me. I can't resist thrift stores and library sales, so my to read list keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Most of my tags just describe the subject matter, but I have a few personal tags:
childhood favorite - fairly self explanatory
next - books I want to read next. Of course, by the time I finish what I'm reading now, I'll want to read something else next. Why do I even use this tag?
on hold - Books I got bored of. I'll get back to them at some point.
reading - the books I'm reading right now.
recommend - books you should read right now.
sexy - books I found particularly hot.
tbr - my massive to be read list. I'll get to them all some day. Really. (Now split into tbr - fic, tbr - nonfic, tbr - comics, and just plain tbr for things that don't fall into any of those categories.)
wacky - I have a soft spot for crazy propaganda.
5 - my boyfriend's books
2007/2008 - books I read in the given year.

My Rating System -
5 Stars - One of my favorites
4 Stars - I enjoyed it or found it useful
3 Stars - I could take it or leave it
2 Stars - Reading it was a chore or there are some serious factual problems
1 Star - It is making all books look bad
