Sobre mimUPDATED 11/9/09! see the items between the ~~~~~!

My name is Chèli and I live in MD, the suburbs of Washington,DC. I have been married to the most wonderful man for 35 years the end of May. I love to read and cross stitch, I'm a big Orioles Fan, but my other great passion (besides my husband and family) is my Christmas village. See Message 3 for My Christmas Village
THE PICTURE SHOWN ABOVE IS MY NEW GRANDSON, JACKSON, BORN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH! I can't believe my little pumpkin will be 9 months old soon! Isn't he just the cutest thing?!?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
I'm getting to the end of the year and closing in on finishing all my challenges, hope I can make it!
If I don't it will be because of family and the holiday preparations, excellent excuses as far as I'm concerned!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
I'm varying my reading with audio versions of some books so that I can combine my needlework with my reading. So far I've heard over 275 books since I started this process and I'm aiming for 500+!



It's been hard to decide which Challenges I'm going to sign up for, so if you know of any interesting challenges not charted here, please let me know!


THESE ARE MY THREADS FOR THE 75 BOOKS CHALLENGE AND 100 BOOKS CHALLENGE
My 75 book Challenge Thread I have met the Challenge and it is mine! I'm going to try for a double!
My 100 book Challenge Thread I finished it!!

Some books read this year are not part of my 999 Challenge so my tickers may not match up!


THIS IS THE LINK TO My Thread FOR THE 999 CHALLENGE which is complete as of 9/1/09.


I have gone CRAZY and signed up for another 999 Challenge to cover all the other books I read.
My Thread for 999 X 2


And a second 75 Challenge!



I've really getting into history due to the Presidents Challenge. There's still plenty of time to join us! We aren't due to end the Challenge until November of 2012.
US PRESIDENTS Challenge


I have a giveaway on my blog (Cheli's Shelves), check it out and win!

I have my own blog! So many things are keeping me busy, I decided I needed to have a place to talk about it. Check them out! Cheli's Cozy Corner
is my personal blog while my reading blog is Cheli's Shelves. ONE BLOG WAS NOT ENOUGH!

I'm still trying to figure out some of the new fangled computer things, like widgets and HTML so I try to pop things that I find interesting into my profile here.

CURRENTLY READING
Wm Henry Harrison: A Biography

ON DECK


My library is always changing, I buy books and when I have finished them I either donate them to a library or other friends.I only keep the 5 star books. Even though I'm still reading from my TBR list, it keeps getting bigger and now my TBR is a full-blown mountain range!

COLLECTIONS
My collections organize my books along with tags like this:

My library is actually fairly organized by tags.
Each book is identified by SPOTS - a Collection for Status and Possession of Ownership, a Type tag and a Shelf tag.
1. Collection of Ownership will be such that we know what is owned, read, borrowed
Status READ, CKDOUT, TO READ, CURRENTLY READING
Possession of Ownership MYUNREAD, MCL, OWNED, PC

OWNED (O) Books I physically own
PC (PC) Audio Books ripped to my PC
YOUR LIBRARY (YL) REFERENCE ONLY
MYUNREAD (MU) Owned but not Read
CKDOUT (CK) BORROWED FROM LIBRARY
MCL (MCL) LIBRARY BOOKS /AUDIO TOO
CURRENTLY READING (CR) In Progress
READ BUT UNOWNED (RNO) Sold or donated
TO READ (TR) MU+PC+CK-CR
READ (READ) O-MU+MCL+RBU

2.Then comes the Type tags - ROMANCE, MYSTERY, COZY MYSTERY, FANTASY, FICTION, NONFICTION, CLASSICS, BIO, HISTORY, SPORTS, etc.

4.I'm still in the process of adding Shelf tags tags for the book location - so far I only have 8 shelves done and 1 in progress. Those are _K1- Kitchen, _F1 (shelf with my 999 books in the family room _F2 - 2nd shelf in the family room, the snow on the mountain range - ready to be melted off has turned into my 99X2 challenge, _F3 - my Harry Potter books and some of my other favorites and _F4 - overflow from _F2,_OC- Office Closet, _MBD1 - in progress - Master Bedroom Shelf unit, and _MBN -Master Bedroom Nighttable. I'm not pushing myself to finish this tagging part.

I don't want to give the false impression that I have over 1000 books in my home, because if there were, my husband would kill me! My library here has what I own, have read, or want to read. IN ESSENCE, IT'S MY VIRTUAL LIBRARY. Now with Collections you see how large my Wishlist is and that's not counting one's I've read about here at LT and am still deciding whether to add them to the wishlist or not.
If you'd like to see what you may have added to the list, check out the Books to Investigate collection and if your ID is there, you are an ENABLER!

If you stop by to check out my profile, say hi! I'm always looking for new friends!
