Tietoja minusta I work at a bookstore and as a costumed interpreter at a living history museum. I facilitate 3 book groups (send out monthly meeting date reminders and keep track of titles). One group reads historical fiction, another classics (fairly loosely defined), and the third reads books to help us as museum interpreters. I also wanted to be in a writing group, so I started one.

As you can tell by my picture, I am a fan of J. W. Waterhouse. Because my books outnumber my bookcases, I have room on my walls for posters by him, Albert Moore, Frederick Leighton, etc. In addition to Pre-Raphaelite art, I love international music (check out Songlines magazine as a great review source), classic movies, and dance.

If you're interested in researching history, especially for purposes of writing fiction, you may be interested in the brand new (as of 19 June 2008) Yahoo!group historical_research, created to replace the departed and dearly missed historicalresearch group that was.

Tietoja kirjastostani I primarily own works of history (military, women's, 19th century, etc.), historical fiction (including mystery and romance), and classics. In general I prefer fantasy to science fiction, but I do have works of science nonfiction in my library. I have 50+ how-to-write books, some of which I've actually read. I worked in desktop publishing for 9 years and to help with that job I acquired books on training, knowledge management, technical communication, markup languages, and software applications.

I sometimes buy books based on beautiful covers. Also on size -- big, fat history books catch my eye every time. In addition to learning about books in bricks-and-mortar and online stores, and on listservs, I read _Publishers Weekly_ (at the library now that it's no longer on newsstands) and _Romantic Times Book Reviews_ magazines. Although it has ceased print publication, you can find Civil War Book Review online. And I get in all kinds of trouble by reading notes and bibliographies in books I already own, leading me to more titles I must acquire.

As of early July 2008 I have maybe 10% of my library catalogued here. All books listed I do actually own, with the exception of a few library books read for groups (tagged "Library Copy"). My wishlist is in a 5-subject notebook (two sections for fiction, two for non-fiction, and one for magazine articles & dissertations).

Tags in progress, if slowly: just over 1/2 of my current catalog is tagged. I'm reimporting books originally entered using Amazon as a data source and adding tags as I go. Most tags should be self-explanatory; however, any tag beginning with "@" is associated with fiction and identifies a place or motif appearing in the novel.

Personal LT wiki page probably to come, although empty now. (I just wanted a direct link from my profile page.)

Feel free, if you stumble across my library, to leave me a comment telling me how you arrived here. In case you don't care to leave a comment, the map will serve as my guestbook.
