Heaven Update

Okay, after spending a good chunk of time adding books to my virtual bookshelf, I'm taking a break!

After getting all the books from my bookshelves, and all the books I could remember from the last year or so, I gave up. If I don't own it, there's no hope in me remembering things from four years ago. I have another good chunk of books at home with my parents, and I'll add those in as I get them, but otherwise I think I'll just continue on from this point with books I buy and read, rather than trying to fill in what I've already read. It probably wouldn't surprise you that I've read A LOT. My dad's basement is filled with books, and I would tear through those every summer vacation. That's easily a couple hundred...





I'm still excited about having the virtual bookshelf to keep track of and share!

My husband made me laugh. I told him all about it last night and he rolled his eyes. Then this morning I woke up to a post-it note on my computer asking if I could search for a similar website for movies, instead of books. He's cute :) And he has more movies than I have books, and we get a few more every week lately.



I'm off to fold laundry, yuck.
I found a bunch of new recipes and I'm trying a few this upcoming week, so I'll share the good ones with you!

Wife with Books Heaven?

I've stumbled upon a wonderful little site that will quickly become one of my favorites and most visited.

It's called Shelfari.com.

It's a virtual bookshelf where you can track all the books you've read, are reading, plan to read, and your all-time favorites. I haven't gotten that far yet, but you can connect with friends and groups and search for books and probably all sorts of other literary fun.

I think I'm in heaven.





I have bookshelves filled with books, obviously. But some of my books are in the states with my parents. Some of my books are contained in big chunky anthologies I'm not likely to pull out again soon. And a growing number of my books are IN my Kindle, so I can't exactly put those on my bookshelves. This virtual bookshelf combines all the above and more, keeping it straight for me. I can move my Amazon book wishlist over and have my little book haven all in one spot. Heaven, I'm telling you.

It'll be a while before I get my bookshelf filled in (if I ever do), but I hope it's an easy way to check out what this wife has been reading and loving. Since my blog is about me and the things I love, books rank high in my life.

Check out my virtual bookshelf! (A teaser is in the sidebar to your right...)

And if you have a Shelfari account, friend me! I'm always looking for new and different books to read and linking up and sharing with friends is like having a really good party in heaven.

I'm going to go back to drowning myself in books...
