About meReader, librarian, gardener, parent, wife, volunteer, cook, not in order of importance. I like crosswords and sudoku. I have two cats.
My LT user name, tardis, is not just a reference to the fact that I love Doctor Who, but because I believe a book is much bigger on the inside than the outside. There are whole worlds in books - you just have to open one and dive in...
P.S. I only "friend" people I actually know or have some significant connection with.
About my libraryMy LibraryThing catalogue includes only things my family owns and more than just books - I also added videos and music cds.

Thank you, thank you for For All the Tea in China! I had seen it before at the Harvard Bookstore and didn't pick it up because it was too expensive, but thought it looked good and wanted to read it,... and it is! I love 1) tea 2) Asia 3) commodities histories (random, I know) 4) the British Empire and frankly, 5) adventure stories, and this really hits all of those things. I'm also going to look up Fortune's books in their own right, because they sound like fun reading.
And it's pretty nifty that you're related to him!
Thanks again,
Dianna

Thanks for the recommendation you made on my Santathing page for Bridge of Birds. My Santa ended up picking it for me and it looks great! I am very much looking forward to reading it. I also am a big DW fan so just had to stop by - love you user name :)
Have a great day,

And then I "wasted" an evening on inventory. But it was soooo worth it.

Thanks for your suggestion on the veg thread. You are clearly a much more serious gardener than I am! I see you have a few British works too - how do you like Bob Flowerdew?
We seem to have quite a lot in common, so I shall be peering into your library for suggestions (as if I don't have enough on my wishlist already).

I just joined LibraryThing and added my first book. My next step was to follow the link to others with the same book and, of course, being a lover of Doctor Who I had to choose you first.
What are the chances I would find someone from my own home town? And with such great taste in books??
Nice way to start :) Thank you!
