About me3 obsessions:

TRAVEL: Here's a map of where I've been. Doesn't even begin to cover where I want to go...:

24
map

I'm a tad camera-happy and "selected" (who am I fooling? large quantities of) photos all end up here.

MUSIC: All shapes and sizes. I try to be open minded, but I don't think I'm ever going to get the Bob Dylan thing. Or Coldplay (*shudder*). I'm on myspace but I don't update it very much (mostly just use it to investigate new music) and also lastfm where I try, but don't really succeed in keeping track of my gig going. One day I'll start commenting on that too. Maybe.

BOOKS: See below!

About my libraryStill not finished uploading all my books (not aided by the fact that I seem incapable of reducing my book buying habits, despite the massive unread pile I own), but getting there slowly...

I have just set up a separate account for my kindle books, to keep things separate and as there'll probably be a fair bit of overlap (particularly of the free classics!).

Here's my 75 books for 2014 ticker:

Diana Wynne Jones, my favourite childhood author (and still in my top five) sadly died in early 2011. In her honour (and because I wanted to anyway), I am now reading all her fiction in publication order. I have a thread for this here. This means that I've been putting off reading "Earwig and the Witch", but I may just have to cave in and read it before the end - I'm sure I'll be forgiven!

I'm keeping track of my niece's library (principally so I don't give her the same books twice), here: http://www.librarything.com/profile/librapea

In 2009, I also took part in the 999 challenge (although I shamefully didn't finish it).
