***My friends list has been updated to include everyone I have sent something to and all the kind bookcrossers out there who have sent me a book or any other fabulous gift. My thanks and gratitude to you all.***




Hi everyone and thanks for checking out my shelf. I'm Danielle, I'm now 27 and hav ebeen bookcrossing for nearly 4 years, hence my screen-name. I've had a love of books since I could read and bug everyone with my habit, reading instead of listening and talking almost constantly about my current book. I have my own house now and even have my own little library. My better half found an article about book crossing in the newspaper and I promptly signed up and find myself getting more and more addicted every day. I love bookmarks too, and have a large collection, now from around the world. I love anything colourful too so have a rather bright kitchen.

The few wild releases I have made have me checking every few days for journals, but alas not much luck so far but I'm not giving up hope.

I took part in World Book Night 2011 and distributed my chosen book, 'Love in the Time of Cholera', around my local city centre. No catches yet but I did see several very interested people take this wonderful book home.

I am willing to exchange and I do so often, if there's anything that catches your eye just PM me and we'll sort something out.

At the moment I am trying ferociously to read all possible books of the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die (all 3 editions). I am currently standing at around 340 but I am making slow and steady progress.

I am participating in soffitta1's UK and EU 1001 VBB's so a lot of my 1001 library books are waiting in those for new readers.

1001 Library Books available from me (just PM me if you're interested)


* Captain Corelli's Mandolin - Loius De Bernieres
* Wild Swans - Jung Chang
* The Kingdom of this World - Alejo Carpentier

(There are many others camping on Mt TBR which I will get to soon)

That's about it for now, can't really think of much else to say. If there are any questions regarding my available list and a book you would like just PM me, and I will most probably send it along, there's nothing better than sharing with fellow book crossers.

And to all you avid book readers out there, happy reading.

* Currently reading*

Dangerous Liasons - Choderlos de Laclos (1001 Library Book)
The Bitter Glass - Eilis Dillon (1001 Bookray)
