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'm totally not unpacking the short boxes. I get tempted to, someone come shoot me, okay?
Yeah, it was only graphic novels. Which reminds me--my deck of stretching cards had an ISBN, so I guess that my Gray's Anatomy deck does too and I can enter those in as well.
If I start entering single issues, I'll need you all to stage an intervention.
I used to maintain a database of mine, and even tried to find an app for the Palm Pilot so I could back issue shop in peace (this was after the semi-successful Excel spreadsheet printed out on index cards experiment). Nothing was just right.
I have not been tagging. I've been trying to find pictures of covers of books where pictures didn't come up automatically.
In my search to find a picture of one of my bookcovers I discovered another book on the same subject.
Which I have now bought on Amazon.
Yes.
Library Thing FORCED me to buy a new book.

I'm just waiting for the CueCat thingie to show up so I can really start entering books.
Yes, Jilli, I need to know which vampire books I need to read.

You should have seen the look on Pete's face when I told him I really do need a second bookshelf for the vampire books.
