Oh lord. I finally caved and made a LibraryThing account. I even ordered a CueCat thingamie.
Connie, have no fears about your genre-heavy catalog. Just wait until I get all the vampire books entered in.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

Dear god, I got an account. Now to see if I buy a cuecat (now way in HELL am I entering it all by hand. Too many books.)

I put most of mine in by copying what other people have then checking the author's lists. I'm not worrying too much whether I'm showing the right edition or not (bad former library science student, bad!)

I just did a quick count. At least 425 on the shelves. There are a few strays. And that's not counting the romance novels that rotate out and I have a huge box I need to divest. Those I generally don't keep long.
I'm methodical. And a completist. And have no patience. And on dialup. This means...issues.
I have at least one book with no isbn. 1964 book of photographs from Prague. Soviet era.

I am my own worst enemy. God forbid I ever have to reload my cds into iTunes...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I've added five or six books entirely manually. It's odd what's not in Amazon, but I thought everything would have a Library of Congress number. Two things by an aunt, and someother small press stuff. Except for some graphic novels (which will take me over 200) and one Jamaican dictionary, I think I'm done.

At least this way, I'll be forced to dust my books with something other than the vacuum attachment.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Got my CueCat. Started entering with the living room. Will check back on a few days.
Oh, I'm under sieff-skaredoff and joined the buffista group.
