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.

Tim has made a bunch of improvements around date entry recently, but they have been a bit fragile, and I've tended to steer clear of them. However, I'll try and guide you.
The main way to add information to your book details is on the details page for the work. (HelpThing) The book details tab within the page has an edit button at the top left. The 'Date acquired' and 'Currently reading' (started and finished) date fields are at the foot of that page. There is a (more) link if you wish to record the dates for multiple reads of the book. (HelpThing) At the top of the page is a 'Status' line with two check boxes which have some interaction with dates, but I get the feeling that they are untrustworthy, and so I've steered clear of them. If you do use them, be sure to read around the groups to see what hazards await you. (However, as I said, my experience is limited with this page, so all may be OK by now.)
The easiest way to enter dates is on your catalogue page ('Your library' tab). (HelpThing) You need to select (or create, if one doesn't exist) a style that shows the 'Date started' and 'Date read' fields. (HelpThing) With this view, it is then trivial to enter your start and finish date. (See my recommended style for an example. You can click on the column headings to change the sort order, and the previous sort order is remembered, so that two-level sorting is available.)
You can record any dates that you wish, but Tim has not yet provided functionality for partial dates (month and year, or just year), so if your memory is hazy then you will have to develop your own style to work around this.
Hope that helps.

I’m a history buff and right now am reading historical romances and/or mysteries, surrounded by reference books and computer bookmarked reference sites. Of course, that could change overnight. Fictionwise has awakened an interest in Australia and New Zealand. I notice you are from British Columbia, an area I want to get to know more about.
My family has a link to Canada, in that, my ancestors landed in Nova Scotia in the mid 1700’s. An earlier link exists through my brother who married a woman from the Mic Mac tribe.
From now on, I will use your method of tagging and work on redoing existing tags. Haven’t even thought of applying it to fiction yet. However, with books in categories of crafts, dictionary, poetry, and religion having passed 15 each with more to enter, your method is organized and provides access not always available with the tag page or tag query.
I added you to my watch list, we have quite a few in common, and I just haven’t added them yet. I am especially interested in Child of the Phoenix by Barbara Erskine. Did you read it and what did you think of it? Looks like another combining problem or at least title one. Is it also known as “The Wizard”?
