I am a tour guide in Seattle for both the city and Mt. Rainier.

Besides reading, I bike, walk, cook, garden, wander urbanly, hike rurally, kayak. I trust my bookshelf will reveal that I have many interests: novels, non-fiction, historical, science, business, food. I do like how Shelfari "randomly" mixes them up; that's how we are as humans, right? I'm still learning how best to list my books and what tags to use. I do like the idea of putting in the year I read them, and my resolution is to write a bit about each one I finish (how original!).

Is a person's bookshelf a good reflection of who they are as a person? Should we just invite friends who have similar books on theirs? I like how Shelfari puts the books in common at the top when you click on someone's shelf. I do peruse the entire shelf before I make a move to make a connection. How many books in common are enough? Any opinions?? My factors in making friend requests: interesting books, your name is Sue or Steve, geographic connection (Seattle or Minnesota, in particular) (or other intriguing location), black & white cat/coffee cup/mt scene, friendly look.

I welcome your notes, or emails. I do not bite. EVER!
