Connie, I was just looking at your list--you have Lost Christianities? I had that on ILL order from the library, but when I finally got down there to pick it up, they had sent it back a few days before. I'll have to order it again (when I finally return my veeeerrry overdue current ILL checkout on the Little Ice Age).
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

you have Lost Christianities?
Yep, I've developed a lust for knowledge about early Christianity, especially how it affects social beliefs--note the several books about gay history. I've been wondering where the kneejerk "God hates such-and-such!" comes from, so I'm digging into the past. The history of thought and attitude fascinates me.

Always Anti-fascist!
Thank you, Gar. My betas have told me that my muse is Chandleria...I suppose sometimes it's true.

Madame, what you said to her was "squid", not "good morning".
As creepy-stalky as it sounds, I put all you Thingamabrarians I could find on my watch list! But at least I'm letting you know... :)
Connie--there's much talk about correct editions etc. in the talky sections--just wait until you discover... COMBINING. It is heaven, it is hell.
Katrina ate my liberry.
Ita, seriously?! Damn...

I added Library people, just as Lola did, but I wasn't planning to post about it, because I am CREEPY.

I've been going through some of my bookshelves and adding to my list, and was told that I maxed out the freebie number of books (200), so since they had such a great cataloging system, I signed up for a lifetime membership (it was only $25--well, I think it was only $19, but their options go right to the "typical" level of $25, so I did that, instead, 'cause I like it so much).
I've still got a shelf to enter before I finish with the two bookshelves in my living room. Then, I get to go through my cookbook shelves and my nonfiction shelves, some of which titles have already been entered by memory. Finally will be the big group of books--the romances that I know total around 240 or so just by themselves.

I may go decadent and get the lifetime thing as well. Just because.

I figure I've been wanting to catalog my collection for insurance purposes anyway--this is a convenient way to do it, and it's fun to see what I share with other people (so far, it seems to be Hec's books and Molly Ivins).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had most of my books in storage in NO, Lola, and the room was flooded, so bye bye paper products. Ah, well. It's the comics I miss most, because those will never be replaced. The others, perhaps in time.
I've been adding to my catalogue by bouncing through recommendations and going "I already have it!" and saving the data entry. Though then I want to go in and pick the exact edition, so NSM with the saving.
