LibraryCin’s Comments (group member since Sep 17, 2012)

LibraryCin’s comments from the Shelfarians group.

Oh, I see tags and "shelves" as the same thing, so I'm happy to have all of those (or the ones that transferred over, anyway). But the tag cloud was definitely a nicer "look".

and it's been years for me going through my LT books to try to update things that were missed. I mark each with an "edited" tag as I go through it (anything new added (except to the "to read" items) also gets the edited tag as I read them and add tags, a review, etc) . But I'm still not through them all. I rarely take time to work on it.

I don't keep my tbr here (that's over at LibraryThing), so I didn't worry about those. Slowly I've added some in as I notice they are missing. But I've been (somewhat) more vigilant about it over on LT. But my import to LT brought in the vast majority of what I had listed. But it was missing some tags and reviews.

ETA: But there are still some missing over there, too. I just don't have the time to get it completely up to date.

It's been too long since I did this to remember. What I do remember is only about 10% of my books came through, unfortunately. :-(

Hope it works out better for you (and before too much more time passes!).

Have fun in Yellowstone! I was there.... 2012, I think. I think we drove around over 2 days. I remember mostly geysers on day 1 and waterfalls on day 2 (or maybe it was the other way around!). (You can see a bunch of my pictures in an album on facebook, BC.)

Hi, everyone! Nice to pop in once in a while to see everyone!

Enjoy your trip to the theatre, Dosha!

Hi, Dosha! Good to see you here!

I have season tickets to a dinner theatre here, so (even though I wasn't necessarily ready!) I have been there a couple of times since we reopened. Less so to restaurants - only once inside because it was too cold to stay outside that day.

Good to hear! You might be the one to revive this group! (It was mostly used when we were first pushed out of shelfari.)

riley rue wrote: "Have you connected with your former Shelfari friends? I really hope you have! (Also, is there a name you prefer being called?)..."

Yes, thank you for asking. My main shelfari group moved here, so many of us are still there. Of course, in the past 5 years, there are many more people, and some didn't come here from shelfari and some started here, but didn't like it so kind of dropped off.

My real name is Cindy (and I'm a librarian), so LibraryCin. So, Cindy or Cin or LC, for short are all fine.

I wasn't one of the roleplayers, but I hope you can find your friends. I'm not sure how many people still check this group, but hopefully there will be some who see your note and check in. :-)

Ha!
And looking at my comment from July 1, it was definitely too soon to reopen (I think the only people who didn't think that was our government and our chief medical officer (who I really think is just having her strings pulled by the government...). (And deniers)

(I'm in Alberta, Canada.) We're in the middle of a horrible 4th wave, even though many are fully vaccinated. It's Delta + primarily the unvaccinnated keeping this going.

Worse, many people without covid have had surgeries cancelled, so staff and beds can be used in the ICU for all the covid patients.

Luckily, there are finally some restrictions back in place. Many places now (though it's not provincially-government mandated) are asking for proof of vaccination, etc.

I get my 2nd shot tomorrow. Looking forward to it!

Things reopened completely here today. Personally, I feel like it's too soon. I would have liked to see things reopen first, give it a few weeks, then decide on getting rid of masks.

Masks still required on public transit, though (whew!), and in care homes. I think that's it. Oh... in our city, they are still requiring masks inside for a few more days.

Happy New Year!

That is great news! (Despite now having no place to go!)

Well, I hope things continue to look up for him.

BC, am I remembering that your friend is out of he hospital now?

I hope everyone else is doing well.

Happy New Year, BC!

Haven't stopped in to this group for a while, but was just perusing.

Saw this thread and thought I'd mention that Litsy now has a website, as well.

My first book was Bird Watching for Dummies. :-)

I really like the "For Dummies" books!

Great to "see" you Dosha!
