Yes, Jilli, I need to know which vampire books I need to read.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

I've loaded all my primaries! 434, with some duplicated (oddly, at least one of those pocket pithy books. Why do I have one called Why I live in Alabama ?)
The Nevil Shutes circa the 50's and 60's were a bitch. I certainly don't have the same editions in librarything that I do at home. Also, the Grooks I have aren't the same, and may not even be the same book, as mine is a MIT press edition.
Now to decide if I'll load any of my trashy (and not) romances. I don't often keep them, I just haven't made a deacquisition run in a while.

OK, so the thing is, putting all this in Library Thing made me want to get RID of some of my books, too. Lots of my trashy romances. A few trashy scifi. But I don't want to just give them to goodwill, and the used bookstore sure won't pay me much for them.
So what do I do with them? Try to swap them one by one? That would be more satisfying, as it would involve someone who specifically wanted THAT BOOK, but...pain in the ass.
Anyone wanna trade a boxload of trashy romances? Or about..um...a dozen random bad scifi?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Hee. I'm apparently one of those people who has to have the right edition.
Which is a problem for some of my books.

Yeah, me too. Or at least the right cover! But for some I have, it is a lost cause. No LC #, no ISBN, nada. And I'm not quite insane enough to create new entries for ALL of them.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
Sad now. Just finished searching every nook and cranny in my apartment, and I cannot find anymore books, but more importantly, I can't find my copy of The Ghosts Who Went to School. I know exactly where it was before I moved furniture last fall, but no clue where it went after that. I fear it might've been an accidental victim of The Purge.

The CueCat arrived! The CueCat arrived!
I suspect I'm going to be spending evenings (when not prepping for or attending the big upcoming gothy-goth event) scanning books, and then sneaking updating tags when I have time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I am down to my last two boxes to enter. And I have tags on over half, maybe two-thirds!
Between the books I know I haven't read yet and the ones I can't remember anything about, I really should not buy new books for a long time.
Contrarily, I keep getting the urge to catalog books that I've read but don't own and just tag them as Not Mine in some way. I strongly suspect that that way lies madness, but it is so tempting.

Hah! That's me and the ones I've passed on to my parents. There is at least one I'd kill to get my hands on again. It made a big impact on me, and is fairly obscure and I had to give it to a dear friend in a fit of love. Sheesh.
I do think I have a problem.
