About meI feel like I have to add to my profile that my handle anywhere on the internet has been 'twilight' or 'twilightlost' for years. It has nothing to do with the Twilight books series - I have not read them; I do not plan to read them; I hate the fact that my handle now makes people think of badly written, decidedly un-feminist trash.

~*~*~*~

I love books. Having books in my house makes me feel happy and relaxed. I have been decluttering my life but the one thing that hasn't been, and won't be, touched are my bookcases stuffed full of books.

I'm always looking for recommendations for new authors or books, so if we have similar tastes and there's an author that you love that is not on my shelf, I'd love to hear about it. :)

About my libraryI own a lot of fantasy as it used to be primarily what I read, but I now read a lot of fiction and mystery books, with a good helping of "fluffy" fiction thrown in.

I chose to keep many of my university books, so there are a lot of classics and philosophy texts.

Tag abbreviations:
TBR = to be read
RMTO = read more than once

My Star Ratings:
* = badly written, did not enjoy
** = well written, did not enjoy
*** = enjoyed, probably will not read again
**** = enjoyed, probably will read again
***** = one of my favourites, destined to become part of my permanent collection

I have a separate account on LT for books that I have read but do not own, as I do not wish to have the two catalogued together, even with the use of tags. That library is listed under twilightlost_2.

I only buy books that I already love. This means that my permanent collection has a very high level of 4 and 5 star rankings because they would not be part of my library if I thought they were rubbish.
