I am now the premiére owner on LibraryThing of books by Laura Lee Hope. Ph34r my l33t.

Actually, going through athose books was bringing back memories like whoah. ( bibiliophiliac attack! )

Anyway, there's still at least a couple more of those books stashed around the house somewhere or other. I rooted through my mom's collection of old Zane Grey and Edgar Rice Burroughs hardcovers and found a few more. I should probably make a real effort to complete the collection before I give it back, but they're selling for ridiculous prices (like, more than a dollar each!) these days. Meanwhile, while I was looking at those shelves, I found a bunch more kids' books that I'd been idly wondering about. I'm beginning to suspect that once I finish cataloging the books in my room and the SF collection in my sister's, I'll just keep going and going and going until every book in the house is listed, regardless of 'whose' it is, because I'm starting to realize that there's no way I can actually separate out 'not mine.' I LOVE THEM ALL! And Mom's never going to start her own catalog, right?

Plus, once I get all the books cataloged, what will I do with my spare time? At the moment, all that's left of my original ambitions are SF paperbacks A-Heinlein, all my textbooks, several shelves of random non-SF fiction, and whatever else is scattered around my room, mostly things like yearbooks and blank books and homemade books. I'm currently just about to hit 1,500, as soon as I add in the non-Bobbsey Twins books that I pulled off Mom's shelf. Who wants to bet that I'll hit 2,000 by the time all the SF is in? (And bear in mind that yard sale used book season is about to start up again.)
