It's worth paying for, just to have an orderly list. I've given ALOT of my books away but I probably have close to 1,000 myself. :) Angela, this is a GREAT tool–definitely a long-term project for me, but I want to use it.

I have so many because it's hard for me to throw them away. A couple of times a year, I'll make a donation to the library. It's not all goodwill, unfortunately; I have to get rid of old books so I'll have some place for the new ones. :) Sigrun, I thought I had a lot of books, but you’ve got me beat.

My computer just froze on me again while I was looking through your list--at least trying to. I don't quite have the hang of it yet but I see you have at least some books by Barbara Delinsky, Jude Deveraux, Beverly Jenkins, Nora Roberts, Donna Hill, and, of course, Angela Benson. Those are the authors I remember off-hand. Oh, yes, Walter Moseley (spelling?), too. I won one of his latest from Warner. Whew, I’m glad I submitted the comment when I did.

However, I'll have to see what I put in here. I made up my own database using Lotus. Then I converted it to MS Access. So far, I've got more than 20,000 entries. For some anthologies, I've put in every single title quoted from or excerpted. I've also got most of the books in there that I've ever read. Therefore, the number is not quite that great, i.e., the number of books that I actually have but I'm also a lond way from being finished, so who knows. I might actually have that many when I list all my travel booklets about churches, castles and the like. I don't know, though, if I'll ever want to switch it over entirely, especially not at the moment because my hands are causing me a lot of pain from fingertips to back muscles. I'll definitely look aroung in it a bit. Oh, dear. The dogs next door are barking again--and at almost 10:30 p.m. Whenever I go out the door or come up the driveway when they're out, the two of them throw themselves against the (reinforced) fence. And it seems that trying to make friends with them does *not* work. Well, that was a mercifully short barking session. They must have just been let out for a few minutes. I'll have a look at your list to see which books we have in common. Sounds like a great idea. However, I’ll have to see what I put in here. I made up my own database using Lotus.
