I'm a native San Franciscan who doesn't get much free time with a 2 yr old in the house. However when I do manage to squeeze in some personal time, I am usually reading, watching tv, using the computer, knitting, or trying to sleep (insomnia). Not necessarily in that order.

My shelf contains books which have passed through my hands, some are on shelves, some in boxes, some borrowed, some lent out. Well actually, right now, most of them are in the process of moving into boxes, if they aren't already in a box, because we're moving house. This isn't even a complete list as I couldn't enter a lot of books because the books were not in the Shelfari book database, probably because the books wore too old or too obscure. For example, I could only add one of Richard Kirk's books, Lords of the Shadows, which is #4 in his Raven series. I could not add books 1, 2, 3, or 5 of the Raven Series (Swordmistress of Chaos; A Time of Ghosts; The Frozen God; A Time of Dying). And many books are buried too deep for me to conveniently get to right now, so I will enter them in the future as I come across them.
I've also noticed a quirk in Shelfari. I can tag books with "c++", however when I click on the "c++" tag, it will show me books which I have tagged "c". I will have to go back and retag my c++ books with "c plus plus" instead.
I never imagined that I would ever add so many books. When I started doing this, I thought my final book count would be closer to 100 to 200. LOL. Now I'm up to 600+ books and 2000+ tags. I do love the tags feature as it helps me find books that I've already added. And I love it when other people use tags because it helps me discover new books I might like.
