- About My Library
- I love fantasy, science fiction and horror. Lately I have been on a big horror kick. I have also been known to enjoy non-fiction, though I usually only read a handful of non-fiction books per year. I have a soft spot for graphic novels and anything superhero-related.
Anything with LGBTQ themes is of especial interest to me, particularly if it has spec-fic themes as well.
I borrow a lot of books from the public library. I also give a lot of books away when I am finished with them, so I like the LT feature that lets you divide books between "owned" and "read but unowned" collections - my books frequently flip between these categories!
A note about my "ratings". . . when I rate a book out of five stars on librarything I don't rate it based on how technically "good" a book is and I don't rate based on how I think the world or history should view the book. I only give a star rating based on my own personal enjoyment level the last time I read it. My star ratings:
1 - hated it
2 - it was "meh"/I was bored/I have major problems with it
3 - it was fine/it was decent/it was what I expected
4 - it was really good!
5 - it was excellent/loved it - About Me
- 30-something librarian. Most days I wish I was my cat.
