About my libraryA work in progress. In short:
Library: books on the shelves at home.
Wishlist: books I want to own.
To read: books I want to read, but do not own; will probably borrow from the library.
Read but unowned: books once owned, once read, now gone to greener pastures/other readers.
Outgoing: books in need of a new home. Yours?
