About me I'm a graduate student in Library and Information Studies at the University of Oklahoma. I got my BA in Psychology with minors in English and Japanese which explains some of the things in my library. I have more books than space currently, but I'd rather get more space than get rid of books. On the other hand I don't need duplicates of books, so this catalog will hopefully help me with that.
About my library I love science fiction and fantasy, but I'll buy anything at library book sales if it remotely seems interesting to me, so a bit eclectic overall with special patches of interest having large amounts of books in them.

I appreciate the tip you gave me about romance novels and Georgette Heyer since sometimes I'm simply too 'scared' to try any of these books - even though I want to - for fear of stumbling onto something that will put me in a pretty depressed mode. Explicit writing seems to do that to me! I so much prefer to read something charming that will put warmth in my heart and a smile on my face!
Oh yes, I love the regency period, in fact, I love all stories put in historical contexts. Historical mysteries and romances but strangely enough I also like science fiction a lot - go figure......;-)
Speaking of historical mysteries/romances, have you read 'Good Night, Mr, Holmes' by Carole Nelson Douglas? I absolutely love this book - it made me feel so good - and for someone like me who has always had a special feeling for the era of Sherlock Holmes it really hit the spot! If you haven't read it I can truly recommend it!
It would be nice to hear from you!

I've not read Tanya Huff, though I have come across the name. Which is the best book to start with?
Authors you might like - Karren Miller, C J Cherryh and Anna Mccaffery. Karren is a new austrailian author who's Innocent Mage is pure fantasy with great characters. CJC and AM both write crossover SF/F again more character driven than world building. They've both writen vast amounts of books. AM's Dragonflight is the first of her famous Pern series.

I saw the title of the group and couldn't stop laughing. My dad has said those exact same words to me countless times.
