Tietoja minusta I'm a reader, not a collector, but I keep books I really enjoy and know I will read again. I prefer paperbacks to hardcovers. I like to read series books in order. I don't skip ahead and I hate spoilers. If I don't like a book, I don't finish it for the sake of finishing it -- I move on to another. I often have more than one book going at a time, as long as they are different genres.

I buy new and used books, online and at retail stores. I should own stock in Amazon.com... I love Half Price Books stores. My husband is a big reader, too, and like many of you, our home is overflowing with books. We need more shelves!

Tietoja kirjastostani These are mostly my historical mysteries. I also read (some) contemporary mysteries, historical novels, fantasies, adventure/thrillers, many non-fiction histories, and have seemingly endless shelves of reference books on everything from writing and editing to computer (Macintosh and web development, etc.) and nature field guides (mostly birds).

CAVEAT: I have NOT read all of the books in my list. There are many there that I'm waiting to acquire and/or that are on my TO BE READ list.

I do not use LibThing as my main book cataloging database...yet. For that I use Bookpedia software for Mac, and occasionally transfer a subset of my database to LibThing. I have always been very interested in how others catalog their libraries. If you want to talk about it, please let me know! (Esp. if you use a Mac.)

Hi Janice,

thankyou for tagging me as an intersting library. My tags to some degree reflect the way I shelve my books (and like you my house is overflowing with books - we take delivery of a new 7'x4' shelf soon YAY!!). I keep my books together by Period/Theme - when an author branches out I have to decide whether to seperate the different books or to try and keep the two subjects close on the shelves.

My love affair with the Historical Novel began in my early teen years when my grandmother loaned me Tranter's "Macbeth the King" and Cannings "The Crimson Chalice". I have been a great fan of Tranter, but found the later (post 1993) novels to be more like repetitive lowland soap operas. However he gave us so many great novels over so many years - I built up a wargames army of Macbeth's Scots on the strength of Macbeth the King.

I did try and aquire the Chisolm novels - I had two later ones from one of my favourite bookshops. "Gaslight Books" - which you can find on the net do both new and secondhand crime and scifi/fantasy. I could never find the first two of Chisolms so I traded them back in (at the time my daughters were in daycare and money was tight - I traded back some books at Gaslight to ensure I could keep up with Jecks, Rowland and Doherty (to name a few).

I still have a lot of books to add to my LT catalouge - I am hoping to have some time to myself to paint toy soldiers, catalouge books (including scan the covers) and generally tidy up my hobbies.

I will look out for Chisolm again and look through your library to see what else jumps out.

All the best

David (aka Macbeth)
Why, thank you! It's nice to hear. Could you give me one or two examples of how you found my tags useful or whatever?
You are on my list of interesting libraries, too. Ideas for new reads! BYW, I love Georgetter Heyer, just haven't gotten her entered yet.

Thanks for the nice comment. My late grandmother introduced me to Georgette Heyer and I am so glad that she did.
Finally, a library that is similar to mine not just because of the many Star trek books I have read! (Well, there used to be another, but he made his library private.) I made your library "interesting".
Wow I absolutely love your library. My historical mystery library seems to dull in comparison. By the way, I added you to my "interesting library" list.
