I love the idea of "Bookcrossing", and the wonderful, warm people I have come to meet while here, many who I have come to think of as my "adopted" family.
I love books, and have a reading room in my home; it is my favorite room of all, the one I am most proud to show when quests visit, and there is always something available for them to read.
It's become my private sanctuary filled with quotations ,photos , and nature treasures that I find personally enjoyable, as well as plaques of my written poetry.
(I am a published writer, with some of my poems appearing in various anthologies)
I am also an extreme cat lover, sharing my life with 2 beautiful Maine Coons who have captured my heart, and are always readily available any time I need a cuddle or hug.


*** The picture on my page is a photo of Suzie - my 18 year old beautiful girl , whom I recently lost due to extreme kidney problems , and other ailments. She will never be forgotten.

My booklist is not necessarily reflective of my tastes as I often buy my books at thrift stores, sales, used book stores, or obtain them from friends in trades.
I try to include a synopsis whenever possible, and have also begun to list books in my permanent collection. While I will rarely part with these, I find it often helps others get a "feel" for various authors and books they may not otherwise have heard about, or considered reading. It provides a good source of reference.
My TBR books generally are books I have yet first to read one day, then will decide to either pass along to friends and family or release.
(I do go through these periodically to thin out the bookshelves of those I consider less important and am not worrying about reading, but if they are presently marked TBR that means I do wish to read them before I release them elsewhere; please respect this.)


I am not one who worries much about my stats since many of my books listed are my own and I tend to pass alot of books on to friends , family, charitable causes. Therefore the stats would not be a true representation.
I trade alot of my books and also offer up many fun RABCK's to give back to everyone who has been kind to me in one way or another , I generally host at least one RABCK monthly, along with many others of which are non-book related since I sometimes like to send out other surprises which I think readers will enjoy besides books -- so many tend to already have large TBR's that often something other than a book is appreciated.

Please Note:
Due to ongoing illness , I am currently not able to work , and have very limited income assistance at this time.
I am therefore forced to put trades on hold for the time being, but will be making efforts to wild release books.
Once I am able to obtain some means of supplementary income, I will be happy to once again proceed with book trades.
Thank you to everyone for your understanding and patience in the meantime.
