I'm apparently one of those people who has to have the right edition.
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.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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."

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.

Ok, I lied, there was a nook I hadn't checked, and whoa, a whole new box! Sadly, still not the book I'm looking for, more like books I thought I'd gotten rid of years ago. But, plus side, more titles to enter!

Because books.
sarameg, what's in your trashy romance box? Any historicals? I love older Anne Stuart and Deana James stuff, and I'd take old Mary Jo Putney or Laura Kinsale, too.
I don't really consider any of them trashy, but YtrashyMV.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I keep thinking about getting into Librarything, and then I think, oh yeah, that's kind of like work, and then I don't, and then it makes me kind of sad, because it's BOOKS, and then I remember the work thing again.

AmyLiz, you can check and SEE what's in my trashy romance box--basically anything romancey you want that's on my LibraryThing collection!! :) It's most all historicals, I only have a few random random more recent ones.
