About meLibrarian. Television addict. Collector of TV Tie-In novels. Fan of science fiction, fantasy, mysteries and the occasional romance. I also read an eclectic selection of non-fiction. I'm also webmaster for my local science fiction club -- Star Base Andromeda, and for the Hugo-winning science fiction author Robert Reed, so you'll see a number of things associated with both of those topics on my LT bookshelf.

About my libraryI'm adding all of my books somewhat piecemeal. I've got piles of them, and boxes of them, throughout my home, many hidden behind piles and boxes of other things. I'm going to enter every last book that I've collected, although as I'm going through them I'm finding many that I no longer wish to keep. Those, I'm releasing through my BookCrossing account. So...not everything you'll see on my LT shelf is actually still owned by me! After I've entered in all the books I still own physically -- and I'm about 90% done with that -- I'm going to go back and try to enter in all the books I've ever read in the past, as far as I can recall. I'll also try to scan and add covers for any books I've got copies of that there are no covers listed -- these I'll tag with "coverscan", in case you're interested!
