Updated intro:
I'm Del, a closeted transbian trapped in a tangle of terrible truths, tentatively tiptoeing through toots tasteful and torrid, and talking about tiddys.
When I'm not waxing poetic in an alliterative fashion, I'm either working, hiding, sleeping or some combination thereof.
I have four decades of experience in computers, electronics, aircraft maintenance and repair, avionics and training. I am currently an instructor, teaching and developing curricula.
I have political opinions. I am clinically depressed. I like soup.
I can be a voracious reader with an average throughput in the range of 100 per annum (+/- 20). My TBR hovers around a thousand.
I read mostly sci-fi and fantasy, alternating with non-fiction (sciences, some bios, history, English language, technology, some sociology).
I almost universally boost introductions and selfies (with alt text).
@DelilahTech are we siblings or what
@DelilahTech Welcome! You sound like a fascinating human! 
@farah@beige.party@DelilahTech Rereading your intro…. You’re like one cool bean! Aircraft maintenance sounds super fun 
@DelilahTech this is the most epic bio ive read on fedi. the first paragraph is great, but its not even what im referring to.

Have you checked out BookWyrm or NeoDB?

Me too! Usually more sci-fi than fantasy. But I'm currently slogging my way through the Game of Thrones books, hoping that the last book a) gets finished, and b) is better than the last season of the TV adaption.

Have heard of #Bookwyrm, but TBH I'm barely keeping track of my reads in Calibre, lately
As of this posting, my digital library is at 2,131 books. I can imagine how long it would take for me to enter all those into an online review engine
I don't even have the spoons to write a review, just a quick JFR and whether I might read again or not
I'm convinced that Martin has made himself far too busy to bother with writing the last book(s)
I wouldn't even bother with A Dance with Dragons, you'll just be disappointed without The Winds of Winter to immediately go to
I'm starting to fear we won't even see Alecto the Ninth anytime soon, either...

Both Calibre and @bookwyrm are Free Code software. There may be a way to import your books from one into the other.
@FediTips says there is;

OTOH this issue query about it has gone unanswered;

So ... ?

Thanks @FediTips for the page and the prompt reply with the link : )

I'm going to be Feasting with Crows for months or years, at my current rate of reading ; )

Never heard of this. Looked it up. The last installment of The Locked Tomb science fantasy series by kiwi author Tamsyn Muir? Sounds cool.
@strypey
It's way cool, as long you don't mind being absolutely baffled during the initial read-throughs, particularly in Harrow
@DelilahTech
> as long you don't mind being absolutely baffled during the initial read-throughs
I can cope. I remember reading the first few pages of A Clockwork Orange back in the 1990s, going "WTF?!", then restarting. Made much more sense on the second read ; )
