About my libraryI'm currently inputting not my whole library (some of which is in storage), but items that are on my all time top reading lists. I'd like to write reviews for each of them as time allows. I'll also add new reads. Somewhere I have a list and comments on books I was reading that I'd made for a year or two in the past--I'll make that part of my future plans!
