I need help. And only you, my readers and fellow book bloggers, can help me out.
You see, I went a bit of the grid in the last year. Since I was predominently buying books instead of being able to get them off the library I kind of fell of a wagon in terms of adult [...]

On the way home from running some errands the other day we made a very important stop - at the library. I’m so thrilled to be back in a good library system again. I loved the Toronto Public Library. Loved it! And while the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec was much better than I [...]

I try really hard to behave. I swear I do. Realllllllllly hard.
But I keep bringing more and more books into the house. I don’t *mean* to. It just sort of happens. Accidentally. I very rarely say when I leave the house that I’m going to go buy books. I’m far more likely to say something [...]

(Perhaps I am hoping, no doubt fruitlessly, that keeping better track of my books will actually result in me reading more of them and buying less of them… 
I keep track of the books I read by blogging them here or at BlogHer (or [...]

Have I mentioned that I’m really happy to be going to a library again? Even if it is mostly French? I did? Mkay, just making sure.
Why is it that when I have a, to me, normal stack of books in my arms I get weird looks? I mean, I’m in a LIBRARY for crying out [...]

Some very silly individual lured me into a bookstore today. What I mean by “lured” is stopped in front of it and then walked in. Which meant that I had to follow right? And not only was it a bookstore but it was one of those “remainder” stores where books go to die. I had [...]

It’s that time of year again. In 2007 my reading dipped down. In 2006 I read over 140 books. This year it was 85. Definitely not a bad count by any means but in 2008 I’d like to get it back up around 100. (Hee, I accidentally typed in 1000!) Of those 85 about [...]

No turkey hangover for me but I am feeling memeish today. So I’m borrowing this meme from Tiny Little Reading Room.
These are the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users. Bold what you have read, italicize books you’ve started but couldn’t finish, and strike through books you hated. Add an asterisk* [...]
