Fantastic Library


I am lucky to be a member of  the ERL but thanks to there fantastic holds system and http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/ they are running me ragged.  I do think that part of it may be my fault but when you are looking at favourite authors they also suggest other authors and then you are off on a wild goose chase and I end up having two screens up so that I can place holds on authors that i (or the website) think I might like.  Bookarmy is another site that helps me waste time reading.  All in all I have 62 books out at the moment and 4 weeks to read them in.  I am busy compiling spreadsheets in a vain effort to keep up with what I have read, what I have liked and what I might want to read in the future.  A little anal, but that might have something to do with the type of personality that works in a library.  People say to me 'aren't you lucky working in a library.  You must get to read all the time."  As if and don't I wish.  My library does not lean itself towards the pleasure of reading being a academic library but thank goodness, or else I would get absolutely nothing done and would have to keep on taking holidays just so I can catch up on my reading.  If that is the worst that I can expect out of life, having too much to read, it's a good life.
