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."

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.

Why doesn't the LibraryThing Buffista group page update? It's been at 5402 books for a couple days, I swear.
I don't know but it's driving me batshit.
If you go to the "add books" page, you just have to put in the title or other key words and it'll search for you. Easy.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My company is having a charity used book sale in April, in which everyone brings in books from home to donate, and then a few weeks later, they take all of them and sell them back to us and give the money raised to charity--they did the same with movies and music last year, and raised $750!
Well, I'm thinking about offering my bookstore/library skills to organize the donations sometime in that two week period so they're boxed by subject or by helping to display them before the sale. Of course, I'm not being totally altruistic here--I'm hoping to get first dibs on the books!! I'll have some additions to my LibraryThing catalog then.

I'm not worrying too much whether I'm showing the right edition or not
I'm hoping I won't worry too much about if I'm showing the right editions or not. Considering I have multiple (but different!) versions of certain books by Neil Gaiman, Ray Bradbury, and Tanith Lee, I think worrying about that sort of thing is a quick ticket to Crazy(ier) Land.

I'm a correct edition worrier, so I've been typing in ISBNs the whole way through. And even then, some of the details/covers were off. May correct later.

ita is me. Typing in an ISBN and it finding the right book is still so satisfying! I've only stumped it once (out of, say, 30 books so far), but since the book is in Greek that's forgivable.
