- About My Library
- My ambition is to read 2000 books, which should keep me going until I'm fifty. That's why I have the pro account here. I love books - I am a true bibliophile, like the rest of us here. I have a lot more books than I've listed; I'm really using librarything as a way to keep track of which books I've read. It's a lot of fun going through my catalog and reminding myself of what I've read, what I liked and what I didn't, and I've gotten so many recommendations from this site I frankly don't know where to begin.
- About Me
- I'm an English language teacher, currently living and working in Bielsko-Biala, Poland. I'd love more than anything else in the world to see my name in print - though I imagine that's true of a large number of people here on LT.
