I'm Such A Dork!

Okay, so we all know that I'm rarely online.  Well, I've been working outside the office this week and have full internet access!!  Of course, this is the first day that I've actually stayed online for a long time. . . but what mysterious website has caused me to stay on so long??  My book website.  I don't know how many of you have checked out www.shelfari.com but it's a great site for avid readers.  I initially started on the website because I'm a bit OCD and I loved the idea that I could keep track of all the books I've read and have them show up on a virtual wood grained bookshelf (with the actual cover of the book that I read!!).  I know, dorky right?  Well, you can also get recommendations on books and read reviews, find out the rest of the books in a series you've started, and find new books to try.  Sadly it's considered a networking site (you can have "friends" and see what's on their shelf and chat about books) so I can't get to it at work either (which makes me feel very bad that I never get to respond to people's "should I read this book" requests).  But I just discovered a group on the site call Young Adult Books that Adults Should Read.  Some of you may know that I feel that the young adult genre is an undiscovered treasure trove of good books.  I literally just spent a couple of hours looking up new books and writing down what I want to try.  As if I don't have enough books I need to read (yes, need), I just discovered 6 new series that I need to start!  Six!!!  That doesn't even include the Harry Potter series that I've never gotten around to!  Or the 10 individual books that I discovered.  I had to stop before I got too carried away!!  This is clearly a dangerous website for me to be on.  Please heed this warning!!!

I'm going to go finish the book I'm currently on so that I can start the ones that I have pre-ordered from Borders so I can start all of these other new ones. . . I'm such a dork!!
