Tietoja kirjastostaniReading journal for Suzy and I now split by collection. Mine is up to date as of 23-Oct-09.

CueCat is so cool - now entering books I haven't read yet. tbr-pile means "in the to be read pile" while tbr library means "to be read - book is somewhere in the house".

Tags are obvious except for meXX which is the year I read the book so tagged (e.g. me06 means I read the book in 2006) and maybe "ngf" which means non-genre fiction.
