Recent Book Activity

Last updated March 3, 2018.

I'm also on LibraryThing.

My available books do not necessarily reflect my reading tastes. I get books via various coworkers, book sales, etc. and participate heavily in release challenges. I also stock one official and two unofficial OBCZs. Stock for those sites is welcome, but the catch rate with j/e's is miniscule.

To get a surprise rabck, make sure your wishlist is updated!

Book Things
Mt TBR is hovering around 1000 unread books, split between physical ABC TBRs and my own, plus kindles . Down from over 2k 2 years ago due to heavy reading and culling. I'm continuing to prioritize the ABC TBRs that have come my way, thanks to the generosity of fellow bookcrossers.

LibraryThing has the more accurate list of what I have (and what I have read) since I include the e-books there.
