dizzylibrary.

After compiling this list, I’m positive that a good number of my books are missing in action. I really should restrain myself from borrowing them out so often. At least I have this list to keep track on what I have left. For those who only buy me books as birthday presents *hopeful expression here* this might help you to not buy me the same book twice or help me with the missing pieces.

Things this list is not: a complete list (I am notoriously forgetful), every book I have ever read, a catalogue for library lending, a measure of financial wealth, and every book I have ever loved. However, this (and my wishlist) does fairly represent my reading taste, for those who give a damn. I’ll welcome any recommendations to the email address up there (pull!).
