I used to be on LibraryThing back in the day -- I still have my collection listed on there but I never updated it w/all the culling I did before I moved across the pond, so it's near-pointless. So I quake at the thought of going over to GoodReads & starting there, heh.
I find books I want to read mainly by my friends blogging about them, heh (or them suggesting things in response to what I read, which I keep vague track of at furyofvissarion). That or from places like 50books_poc (there are other such comms, like there's a general feminist one on DW, but that's the only one I follow). Plus there are a few authors who I'll read almost anything by, & then if they blog about something they really like...
That book about girl spies sounds AWESOME. Also I keep hearing my friends rave about the Lockhart book (& I liked another one), so I must get around to reading it finally!
I love Diana Wynne Jones (actually the next tattoo I want to get -- whenever that happens -- is going to be a quote from one of her books)! Howl is good, but it isn't even one of my absolute favorites from her, heh.
