Calibre - e-book management

I've been using Calibre as my e-books manager for 2 years now. I'm using version 0.9.22 now. I started to read e-books in 2009. Harlequin gave away free books to celebrate its 60th anniversary and I downloaded them. There are:

1. Harlequin American Romance, Once a Cowboy by Linda Warren
2. Harlequin Blaze, Slow Hands by Leslie Kelly
3. Harlequin Historical, His Lady Mistress by Elizabeth Rolls
4. Harlequin Intrigue, Crime Scene at Cardwell Ranch by B.J. Daniels
5. Harlequin Presents, Price of Passion by Susan Napier
6. Harlequin Romance, The Bride's Baby by Liz Fielding
7. Harlequin Super Romance, Snowbound by Janice Kay Johnson
8. Silhouette Desire, Baby Bonanza by Maureen Child
9. Silhouette Nocturne, Kiss Me Deadly by Michele Hauf
10. Silhouette Romantic Suspense, Stranded with a Spy by Merline Lovelace
11. Silhouette Special Edition, Dancing in the Moonlight by RaeAnne Thayne

I have three favorites of them. First is Kiss Me Deadly by Michele Hauf. The story is about vampire and witch and they're enemy. Yeah, it's about love and hate story and it's scorching. I like how blunt Hauf told about how their relationship growing, especially about sex. Vampire, witch, and other-world stories become my favorite genre. Second is His Lady Mistress by Elizabeth Rolls that brought me to fascinating world about historical romance. Palace, mistress, the-rake-and-the-innocent, Cinderella-like stories had me trapped. Third is Baby Bonanza by Maureen Child that so sweet. Babies stories always touched me and make me picturing white picket fence and happily ever after (lol)

Before I know about e-books, I usually read Harlequin books in book rentals or book store, actually I owned none. In my country modesty and decency is number one so most of sexual scenes have been censored. So when I read this free e-books, OMG... it's such a decadent things to be read. They're become my dirty little secret because I've become addicted. I started to find another e-books. Mostly came by pdf-format, I have to covert them to doc-format. I found so many till I think I've drowned in it (lol)

One day I've found Calibre. You can download it here. It can display so many format of e-books. It also can convert from any format e-books to anything that you want. It make everything easier because you just need this one program to convert everything and the results are so good. Sometimes when I use other program, it convert poorly. You can also manage your own library. You can connect it to your Goodreads account. It has so many plugins that make everything perfect ;)

Now I have 11552 e-books saved in my library. 

Introduction

Hallo, mein Name ist Layla.

Trying to make it better with my poor Germany (lol)

Last month I bought some books about foreign languages and never touched it till now. I like to learn about other languages and its culture since I was in high school. My first foreign language--second, actually, because my very first is English, of course--is Japanese. I liked Japanese song whose singers were Utada Hikaru, Ayumi Hamasaki, T.M. Revolution, L'arc en Ciel, etc. I have taken Japanese course some years ago and now I think I rusted it (lol) because I've never use it.

I also interested to learn other foreign languages, so I started to buy books about how to learn French, Dutch, Germany, Korean, Italian, Spanish. But, I've never touched it till now. I started to make list for them, at least I must make target what first language I have to learn and the next. I realized if I have no strong will and time to take it, I gain nothing. Oh, and I have to re-learn my Japanese :P

In order to take free course about foreign language, I became a member of Livemocha. It's a website where we can learn any other languages. We can search friends from any country who can teach us how to learn their language. And we can be teacher for others who want to learn about our language. We collect points by learning the language we select by doing its courses or teach others. I've abandoned my account nearly two years now and I start to activated it again :)
