Om migI love books and reading. I cannot remember a time when I didn't. I buy far more books than I am capable of reading and then there is the library too. My busy life gets in the way of reading as much as I wish I could.

I am a 28 year old student of pharmacy. I live in Charleston, SC with my husband, Chris, and our two cats, BIN and Sakai. (Neither of my cats is the cat in the photo. It's just a random photo I liked off the web.) I also enjoy learning/school (I'd be a permanent student if I won the lotto), writing, art, films, music, and spending a bit too much time on the internet.

Om mitt bibliotekI use my LT account to keep track of everything I've read or started to read, whether I own it, have borrowed it, or it's from the library. Books are tagged appropriately in caps bookshelved - now the collection My Library - (if we own it), name of who I borrowed it from, or library. This info is also in my comments section. If it's a book club read or a book challenge, it's also tagged - now collections - as so and written in the comments. I started tagging all this so I could sort by various things, - but now some of these tags have become collections. (I needed to change my profile to take into account how I've reorganized My Books since collections have debuted, but I can't be bothered rewriting this section at the moment so I just edited the parts I've changed from tags to collections. This has probably only made it more confusing.)

My wishlist is any book I might be interested in reading, not books I want to own a copy of.

My favorite authors list isn't a true representation of all my favorite authors. Rather, it's a list of authors whose books I've really enjoyed since I've started logging my reading on LT. If I started to make a list of all my favorite authors so far in my lifetime, I'd just be sitting here and adding authors for hours.

I rate my books based on how the book compares to other books of the same type. So a good junky romance/suspense novel isn't on the same level as a good literary fiction, it's just good compared to other junky romance/suspense novels. This is my star rating scale:

5 = Loved it! Unputdownable!
4.5 = Excellent!
4 = Very Good
3.5 = Good
3 = Above Average
2.5 = Average
2 or less = Nah

So you're NaNo-ing...? My handle on NaNo is "Mudge the Expendable", if you're interested in following along there.

50K or bust,
RMD
Just to let you know, I finally finished reading "Moonlight in Odessa" that I got from the ER program and loved it - I hope you can find a copy soon.
Oh, way back, then, I see. Most of the Polish emigrants I know or know of are more recent than that and still have quite strong links with here, that's why I asked.

I see you've just added The Rabbi's Cat - I want to read that too!

R
That's a good idea - I always have to go to the works page and see what the book is because I don't remember which ones I requested, let alone what they are about.
I just saw the message from Abby that I won a copy of Moonlight in Odessa from the August ER batch. When I went to the works page for the book I saw that you also have a copy - have you already gotten it, or are you expecting it from the ER program like I am?
Thanks for adding my library to your interesting libraries - I'm flattered. I'm looking forward to browsing yours later today...

Rachel
Jenn,
Thanks for the nice note. Your books will be on their way today...I accepted your friend invitation but have deleted the note with your address...my mother would say that's the right thing to do:) Very security conscious, she is. Car buying can be most stressful. I lived with a car salesman for several years and I must say...the business is most peculiar. Hope you got a good deal because they are hungry right now.
Hope you enjoy the books.
My Best,
Diana
Hey Chrine,

Just looking over your wishlist and came across two books that I am ready to pass on. I received "The Elephant Keeper" from Library Thing. So, it's an Advanced Reader Trade sized paperback. It's in very good condition.
The other is Angel's game. It is also an advanced reader copy. My partner works at B & N and she received it there. B & N writes black numbers (very annoying) along the outside facing page edges...Perfectly readable copy in good condition...but those numbers are annoying if your book sits on a shelf lower than eye level!
I would be happy to send these off to you if you privately send me your address. I give some books away on Bookmooch but have far too many points to use and don't need any more and I didn't see any bookcrossing buddies who wanted these two books so I thought I would check with LT people.
Let me know.
Diana
I love Forbidden Bread! I'm an immigrant from Eastern Europe, so everything she describes is close to my heart. It's sort of like a reverse mail-order bride story.
hi chrine,

thanks for dropping by my thread. looking forward to know what you think of those titles you're now reading, especially A House for Mr. Biswas (like darryl, Naipaul is also a favorite of mine).
¡Hola Chrine! I'm sorry to hear about your illness, but glad to hear that you're doing better. Thanks for the information on displaying book covers; I didn't know how to alter the height of pictures, so that's very helpful.

Darryl
¡Hola chrine! Thanks for adding my library; I'll have to look at yours, too. BTW, how did you get the book covers to appear on your profile page? I'll be curious to get your thoughts on A House for Mr. Biswas, which is one of my all time favorites.

Best wishes,

Darryl
Thanks for adding my library to your list of interesting ones. Hope you find a few good books there!

~Deborah
I didn't realize you where in Charleston. I have to get back there sometime.
Hi Chrine!...Thanks so much for starting the "finished the challenge Thread" I decided to say thanks here rather than fill up the thread before anybody even finished. I think I'm the guilty one who started the 999 x 2 business--just plain had too many books to fit into one group of 9 categories.

I've starred the finished thread and will be watching as everyone clocks in.. I'll probably be finished my first challenge by end of August, but i'm sometimes shifting things between the two to fit them into various categories. I have a lot that overlap..

Once again, good luck with your reading.
Hello Chrine,

Thank you for your very kind and encouraging comments on my book.

Hello Chrine,

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy my story.
I like the picture of the bibliophilic pussy!

Some of them are professors, but not me!
Oh dear - I hope you're teasing in your admiration of my writing! I am horribly stupid and barely literate compared to many in Club Read 2009!
hi chrine,

glad to know you're acquainted with the Author Theme group...hope to see you joining in the talk some time.

here's the link to my 2009 reads

http://www.librarything.com/topic/53307#...

good luck with the Brothers! :-)
hi chrine,

i read your posts about reading Brothers K. perhaps you'd like to join us over at Author Theme Reads group? we are doing a year-long read of Dostoevsky's works and some have opted to start with this monumental book.
Re your comment about Jasper Fforde books - I did go to the library today and got an audio copy of "Something Rotten". I'm currently struggling with my concentration levels, but there was something about the way that the Eyre Affair was written that I loved. It's a book I will read again, when I can focus a bit harder, and probably when I've read some of the other books by the same author.

Hello chine,

I saw your note on the 'Tea' group about needing to buy tea online. My favorite spot is www.adagio.com which has not only black teas, but white, green and roobois teas as well. They also have different types of teaware.
