About meHi there; thanks for stopping by! I'm one of the LibraryThing for Libraries Assistant Librarians, and have been a member of LibraryThing.com for many years. My bookish blog, FolioFiles, is sadly neglected, but that doesn't mean I'm not reading, just that I've accepted the fact that I am NOT a book reviewer except for titles that are really in my wheelhouse. I mostly post there when participating in Dewey's Readathon, which I wish happened monthly instead of twice annually. The rest of the time you can find me on Litsy, our bookish app, as @kgriffith.
I'm also back to participating in the 75 book challenge; come on by and see what I've been reading, and leave your recommendations! Kirsten's 2018 Reading
About my libraryThe books, they are taking over! The fact is, there are more books I want to read than will be possible in my lifetime barring the development of a Matrix-style brain dump. Accepting this has informed my decision to prioritize authors who are: queer, persons of color, disabled, or otherwise marginalized and thus less likely to end up on mainstream bestseller lists and big box store endcaps. A large number (like, HUNDREDS) of my physical books that don't fit this criteria will be purged when I move, likely later this year.
Schoolbooks make up most of my reading when I'm not on break, but I do try to get in lots of audiobooks when I'm driving, cooking, and otherwise unable to have a book in my hands or in front of my eyes.
