Welcome to Gaia! ::

The perverse part of my brain now wants to send La Belle Trish a copy of Twilight, just 'cause, even though I don't own a copy myself. ^_^

I am very kind to other people's books, and if I do harm it in any way, then I buy them a new copy. 3nodding

*totally wants to send La Belle/Trish a copy of Twilight with instructions on the front cover that say "1) Hold book in hand 2) Place book in fire 3) Celebrate with junk food of choice. ENJOY!" *

^.^ you can borrow my books any time, bby!

I ordered a used book from someplace, and either USPS or Canada Post had the courtesy to drop it in a puddle before they got it to me. And Canada Post had the presence of mind to put it in a nice plastic "we're sorry your item was damaged, it was like this when we got it" bag so that it couldn't dry out until I received it. gonk

Also: hahaha we could totally start a tradition where we all send each other copies of books in that wretched Twilight series to burn! BURN!!!

Does anyone use Shelfari.com to keep track of his or her personal library? I'm just trying it out, but you can search up books, then you can set them as books that you've read, are currently reading, or plan to read. You can indicate which books you own, and there's a box to check if you've lent it out. You can also maintain a wishlist there. It might be useful for the purposes of this idea.

My bookshelf is located here. It is far from complete, it would take me weeks to catalog my collection, so there are dribs and drabs from different categories... lots of children's books and stuff. But I've got enough there that you can get the idea of how it might be useful.

You wouldn't even want my copy? It's filled with post-it notes providing a running commentary of "Bella is being such a b***h", "yes, Bella, it's so horrible that everyone at school likes you!", "this is soooo sexist", "if I hear one more thing about Edwards liquid topaz eyes I'll be sick", "this is a healthy relationship how?" and "OMG *****, it sounds like a great idea but I'm pretty protective of my books. I'd be paranoid about them getting damaged during travel. Not to mention paying for international postage when I am trying to save money at the moment.

For keeping track of my books, you can find me at:
Shelfari
GoodReads
LibraryThing
My book blog

Now that my net is done being crap, over the next few days I plan to be finally updating these sites. Especially my book blog, which has been a bit neglected lately so I'll be rolling out some more reviews at long last.

So, if folks are interested in using Shelfari, there is now an ATG Group there so we can find each other easily without having to hunt down and add each other.

OMg it's another Hugo! o.o;

He is my friend's brother and he reads his mangas by opening them only about 25° if that. I'm like how can that even be pleasurable ? You have to have your nose inside the book and the angles that the words/pictures must look like must be totally weird I just would not be able to get into a book that way.

I wouldn't mind participating in this but whoever lent me their book has been forewarned I will open the book! x'D
And I swear I'd've written the same thing as Bass20XX did for likes in books x'D.

If you click on "Own" then it'll actually show the books in the series order. Sorta, I think there's a couple series' in a greater timeline I mixed up, but the series' themselves are fine. :3
