This is just the beginning. I’m using LibraryThing.com to catalog my books, and my 16-year-old is (amidst great moans of protest and comments about parental geekery) going through the house writing down ISBNs for me. You can tell from the “author cloud” below that she started on the first three shelves of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Much more to come!

FYI, it probably would have been a bit longer a few weeks ago. I had an enormous garage sale where I either sold or gave away more than 300 books, just to make room for some new ones.

My Amazon.com Wishlists

For years, I’ve kept a running list of books that interest me on Amazon.com, but when the list hit around 300 a couple of years ago I stopped using it because I dreaded going through and weeding out the ones I no longer wanted or had purchased. I finally got started, though, and here’s where I am so far. There are SO many I have not yet added to these lists, but at least now I’ve got a fairly uncorrupted list of what books I want to buy next. (Can you tell that I urge my family to get my Christmas presents at a bookstore each year?) Here goes:

Also, a few non-book purchases are on my to-do list eventually:

How about you? Where do you keep YOUR reading wish list, and what’s on it?
