About meHistorian, writer, museum collections manager
About my libraryStill in the middle of cataloguing; I'll finish eventually. I have lots of sf and fantasy and lots of kids books, and many books relating to the history of science, technology and medicine, and especially medical quackery and wax museums, as those are the subject of my dissertation. I love to cook, so I have lots of cookbooks. Recently I've been reading a lot of 'follow your passion' type career books, and since such books tend to be extremely inane, I'm reviewing the ones I liked.
Books tagged 'mpl,' 'sppl,' and 'um' are ones I borrowed from the library. I'm also keeping track of all the books I read this year. The tag 'bought at Amazon' refers to the oldest feminist bookstore in North America, located in Minneapolis, not the online retailer.

I'll take a look at Skinnydipping in the Lake of the Dead, thanks. I ordered some Small Beer Press books recently and read a blurb about it in the catalog they included, but a personal rec is always good!
I added Fudoki to my list; have you read I Am a Cat? It is on my to be read pile (actually a small bookshelf, dammit) but I'm looking forward to reading it.
Hopefully, DWJ's new book will be better!
