- About My Library
I joined LibraryThing in the dim and distant past, intending to add my whole library. That didn't quite go to plan. Consequently, this account shows only the tip of the iceberg for now. Adding all the time, though.
Especially drawn to novels from or about the earlier half of the 20th century, Persephone Books, Virago Modern Classics, but also contemporary literary fiction, Irish writers, and novels featuring artists.
Due to much of our home being occupied by hefty art books, I am turning to e-books and audiobooks more these days. However, secondhand book shops do exist and I'm not made of stone...
