Week 5: #11 A Thing about Library Thing

This was really fun. Although I haven't finished my comments about each book on my shelf, I plan to later on. Of course, cataloging is right up my alley. Many of the books I chose are the first in a series by the author: Thursday Next, Nursery Crimes, The Grub and Stakers, Madoc Rhys, Meg Lanslow, and Turing Hopper. And I added two favorites that I re-read every year or so: Jane Eyre and Laura. And, of course, the latest Harry Potter, my favorite book of the series. I plan to add more. I've put the Library Thing bookshelf and widget in the right margin.

Learning styles

After seeing some posts about learning styles, I thought I might add my thoughts to my blog. I'm basically concrete-sequential. I like the info laid out and available for reference. Then I use the info step-by-step. Hands-on approach.

Anyone surprised that I'm a cataloger?

Where to begin?

I begin this blog as an exercise for a class. I probably would never have seriously considered a blog before that. But I hope to make the best of it by doing a kind of review/recommendation blog for movies, TV, books, etc.

Before that, I guess I should tell a little about myself. I'm a librarian. A catalog librarian. I love cataloging. It's like putting a puzzle together. Information about the library material follows an established form and in a particular order. Just like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Everything has its place.

I love to travel when I can. These days I travel mostly to the West Coast to visit family and to Canada to visit friends. I used to live in Florida and miss being able to go to Disney World two or three times a year.

I watch way too much TV and read mostly cozy mysteries. I do crossword puzzles and got hooked on sudoku.

And that's about it for now.
