First Post and New Additions to My Library

This is not so much a blog as it is a catalog of my books. Though I do have a library things account, which you can visit, I find it easier to catalog them myself because sometimes the book I have is not listed in Amazon.com or the book is listed, but it’s a different edition, hardbound instead of paperback, etc…

So here’s my beloved library. If you’re a friend and want to borrow anything listed here then post a comment, or text me so I can lend it to you. Some things are for Room-Use only though, because they’re either too expensive (all graphic novels), too rare (tanith lee’s red as blood), or too heavy (alan moore’s lost girls).

I’m still fixing a lot of things so bear with me. In the meantime,
