About My Library

My library is an eclectic mix of many genres, subjects, and demographics.

It's full of classics, science fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery, history, science, and sports books. These include books for children, teens, and adults. I read a lot of pop culture related books (ex: Disney, film spin-offs, video game spin-offs).

My Storygraph profile: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/royallyreading

I'm in the process of reading through the Star Wars Expanded Universe, both canon and legend timelines.

I am a big fan of comics, both Western (DC/Marvel/+) and Eastern (Manga, Manwha, Manhua).

Collection Classification Clarifications:

These divisions make it really easy for me to know where to find a book I want to read, what I want to prioritize, and how I acquired my books.

Everything listed in "Your Library", I own AND have read.

+ My To-Read is books I want to read that I don't own.
+ Anything I own, but haven't read is on my "Home TBR" list.
+ "FotL/LFL To-Read" is my TBR pile of books picked up at Friends of the Library stores and Little Free Libraries.
+ My pile of Harlequin/Love Inspired and eBook romances are in my Romance TBR.
+ "Serendipity" is books that I've been lent or that I've happened upon in my life serendipitously.

Books I've read, but don't own copies of are in "Read, but not owned".
"Sister Books" are books I've been lent or recommended by my sister & my sister-in-law, which I haven't read.
