Tietoja minusta What can I say about me... I'm a booklover who works as a librarian with Dublin Public Libraries, has gone through Cancer (Hodgkin's Lymphoma) and gotten my 3 year all-clear, happily married to Dave - with no children, lives in Dublin and would much rather be in Galway where I'm from.

There have been a lot of people befriending me, which I don't mind, but if there's a reason beyond "oh wow you have a lot of books" comment here. I don't auto-befriend people. Too many books, too little time

Tietoja kirjastostani I read, I read an awful lot!

Any Dewey numbers added to files are from Dublin City Council Public Libary's Catalogue (occasionally the British Library). I find most of my non-fiction leisure reads from Dublin City Library.

grading:

5/5 - re-read this one regularly, it sparked something in me

4/5 - would willingly re-read but it just lacks the special something

3/5 - good read, neither moved me or annoyed me

2/5 - niggles, went back to library without re-read

1/5 - I want that time back

Some Tag Explination:

Libary - got from the library, in brackets means I replaced the library copy with my own.

BCIE - was a Dublin Bookcrossers Book Choice of the month

FantasticFiction - was a fantastic fiction choice

A two letter code with Library is the source branch.

Mac means that it's part of my husband's collection

Cool. I did Mayo's branches. Ireland is looking so pretty—the Aqua Isle, as it were.

Lähettänyt: timspalding 1:34 pm (EST) Mar 10, 2008

I'm doing the same with the New York City area. There are so many public libraries, I hope others take care of other types of venues

Lähettänyt: alibrarian 8:06 am (EST) Mar 7, 2008

It's funny. I see that conceptDawg said 10,000 was hit before he posted at 8:30, but my computer did not show 10,000 total venues until your entry:

Fixed Inisheer Library, Google Maps recognised the Irish version "Inis Oirr"
But thought Inisheer was in Mount Bellew!

Their website is pretty woeful alright.
I'd say if we start to add other Eason's around Dublin then we can make the switch.

Re. Hanna's
I didn't know; I haven't done a trip to the Hodges-Figgis/Waterstone's axis since before Christmas. Slightly surprised that I didn't hear about it though, I heard about the takeover through the grapevine well beforehand.
Re. Library in Tuam
I switched the address to Shop Street, I don't think there's a main street, despite what the Galway library website says

Lähettänyt: Donogh 4:16 am (EST) Mar 6, 2008

See now

I just removed the Main Street. They probably don't have that in, so it assumes that's wrong.

They have Clare island. I found a reference to a new library on Inishturk but it didn't tell me anything about it.

Lähettänyt: timspalding 5:36 pm (EST) Mar 5, 2008

Yeah, it took me a few tries to find something that would work. Needless to say, it did not get the street on Inishbofin. Are there any others there that need to be added. Inishturk?

Hey, you didn't do Inishbofin! :)

Nice work on those libraries. I had done a couple out my way, but then veered off to do the bookshops
Thanks

Hope you don't mind that I added your library to my list. Very interesting collection!

I've been to Galway several times, and it is lovely. Des Kenny, from Kenny's Books, which used to be on High Street but now sells online only, is a good friend.

Slainte!

Lähettänyt: Contadinella 7:46 am (EST) Jan 17, 2008

Dear W, Since just over a year ago we've gone from 85 shared titles to 128! I think you added more titles. (Most of what I've been acquiring lately is non-fiction.) I just found your review of The Iron Tree. Thank you -- I feel reinforced. I'm taking it back to the library because I just couldn't get interested. The description I gave to a another staffer was "over-written". I was looking for a little change since I've read about 10 books in a row on the early history of this area, but maybe I'll just read another history book. D.

Lähettänyt: Dragonfly 8:42 pm (EST) Sep 15, 2007

What a fantastic library. I can sense looking at your collection will make me spend more money. :)

Someone who loves nancy springer! How cool. I have the whole wyvern series (except the Book of Suns - which I'm not sure exists...?). I'm sure there are others out there that are fans of Springer, but I've never encountered one. I dropped the whole fantasy genre years ago because I couldn't find anything that I loved and gave up trying. Any suggestions?

what a really pretty picture; Irish Middle Age ?
I have all the books translated in French of MZB ... but they are in boxes, for a few time I hope! and some other authors
but nothing comparatively to your fabulous library!!
sorry, my english is as old that I am.... do you write french?

When you find it I'd love to know: is it the same as the book in this photo? http://madam-pince.blogspot.com/2007/03/sixty-minutes-transcript.html Click the photo for a larger version. Thanks! As you can see we have a title and a photo for the book but not an imprint or author. Thanks!

Yeah, its fun. I still haven't read Judgement of Tears, but my spousal unit has. She said it was good.

Also, if you look at Newman's website, there are a few shorter pieces there in the Anno-Dracula universe, and a bibliography.

Hi
I've just finished adding my fiction - only a fraction of your catalog. We uniquely share Giants: Magical world of fantasy. You've tagged it TBR. When you get a moment I suggest you find some time to read it. Some of the short stories are a bit mediocre, but there are one or two all time favourites in it.

Dear chick-lit reader,

I’m a belgian university student that loves chick-lit. Would you like to help me with my thesis and write to me why you (personally) like reading chick-lit? What is it about chick-lit that appeals to you? What are your favourite books and why? Your help would mean a lot to me!

Best wishes,

Wow! 500+ books in a single year is really impressive. I've gone over 150 twice but that was more than 10 years ago. These days I rarely find time to read even 8 a month. And though I'm primarily NF and you're mostly Fiction, it was nice to see we share 56 titles.

Also intrigued that you're in Dublin. I visited a cousin there a few years back and loved the city. The west coast was wonderful, too. Hope to get back there some day.

Keep turning the pages...

Thanks for the heads up on my typing error (Twain vs. Dickens). That's what happens when one is entering loads of books at one time.

I read your review on Awakening Heart which led me to your site, where I reviewed your first hundred. We share 8 titles. I am reading DaVinci Code now. Moves much faster than the one I just finished, The Star Thrower, in which there was 3 good essays, the rest hard to read, but worth it. I would read the three over, so keeping the book. I have worn many hats, but never worked in a library, though I secretly thought it cool. So glad you are well after your encounter with cancer.

You had more titles in common with me than anyone else AND I am also a librarian and cancer survivor! Very odd! I use Library Thing to keep track of the books I get for my various family members, and have just started adding titles for myself. Good to hear you are well and happy!

Hi Wyvernfriend!

I checked your last twenty feed and saw "Broken Crescent" by S. Andrew Swann. Swann is one of current favorites, you probably know this but just in case you don't he writes under several names. His real name is Swiniarski and he also writes as Steven Krane.
