About meI've been an avid reader since childhood, and I'm thrilled about being able to catalog books I've read--wish I'd started doing that ages ago.
About my libraryMy library is mostly fiction, with occasional non-fiction and lots of knitting books too. My taste is pretty catholic though--I'll read anything that looks interesting. If there's nothing else around I'll even read something that doesn't look interesting . . .

The book you won in November's batch of Early Reviewer books, Sima's Undergarments for Women, is available for review only in PDF format. So - we need your email address! Can you email me (abby@librarything.com) with your email address and user name, so we can get you access to the book?
Thanks!

Thanks for the note.
As you are a former fellow Torontonian, you might enjoy our current read
Consolation by Michael Redhill. We have just beginning talking about the book and we have a folder set up where you can ask questions of the author himself. Mr. Redhill will be answering questions online all month. We may even get him for a live online chat session.
If you don't know the book, it won the 2007 Toronto Book Award and tells two Toronto stories. One is set in 1997 and the other is set in 1856/57. Redhill was inspired by a photographic panorama taken of the city in 1857 and tells the tale of an English apothecary who comes to make his "fortune" in a very young and rough Toronto. The modern story tells of the search for the lost photos.
The book is littered with modern and historical references which might just make you a bit home-sick. At the very least the story is a wonderful call to the reader to raise her/his awareness of what our cities were and can be (arguably not just Toronto - even thought Redhill's focusing on TO).
We'd love to hear your thoughts, especially as a person who lives away from the city now!
Thanks again,
Dawn

My name is Dawn and I am a librarian and the host of Toronto Public Library’s online book club: Book Buzz and a fellow LibraryThing member.
This month we are reading Betrayal, by Karin Alvtegen I noticed that you recently added Betrayal to your library and I’d just like to invite you to visit us and share your thoughts about Alvtegen’s book. It’s a friendly easy-going book club with over 500 members and we are always looking for new points of view.

Thank-you for your time,
