Four Thousand

 
On Wednesday I added book number four thousand to my catalogue on LibraryThing. Quite a personal landmark! Of those books, some 1,430 are tagged as unowned — books I've read but borrowed from the library or from another person. So my personal library is potentially more than 2,500 books. Bibliophilia? Ha ha. Check!

Some of my recent additions, both work related and of personal interest:

Just Getting Started: Edmonton Public Library's First 100 Years, Todd Babiuk

Sir, I Intend to Burn Your Book, Lawrence Hill

Built on Coal: A History of Beverly, Edmonton's Working Class Town, Lawrence Herzog

Looking for Alaska, John Green (special tenth-anniversary edition)

How Mothers Love and How Relationships Are Born, Naomi Stadlen

And oh, look: it's Reading Week next week! Good thing I'm well prepared.
