- About My Library
Shelves by IKEA, but not enough of them. Am ambitiously planning to convert an unused closet into a bookcase. Books are currently catalogued by the ROYGBIV method. Historical Fiction and History are my mainstays. Particular weakness for CanLit, gothic, Victorian and historical thrillers.
- About Me
- Life prevents me from reading nearly as much as I'd like - my 'To Read' collection is scary (and exciting!). I've read Ulysses cover-to-cover and readily admit I understood about 5 words. According to Arukiyomi, I've read 11.5% of the 1001 books you must read before you die (2012 edition).
When I'm not reading, look for me in my garden or at the local thrift shops. - Location
