Recent Book Activity

Books are my weakness, and I rarely miss an opportunity to browse in a bookstore (especially the independent bookstores and the new/used ones). I have a constantly growing pile of books to read, plus I borrow books from friends or the library, so I am never without a book in hand. I try to keep up on the forums to see if I have any books that can fulfill a wishlist or get a stalled bookring back in business.

NAMES ON MY FRIENDS LIST: a couple are "real" friends that I know outside of Bookcrossing but I am also adding Bookcrossers that I've participated in Rings or Rays with - my way of remembering them and, whenever possible, checking their profiles to see if I can help them with any book needs. Obviously I'm behind in adding bookcrossers so if we have been in a ray, ring or RABCK before and I've not added you, please do not be offended! :)

Mt. TBR totals 77...and counting. Goal is to get it under 50 by end of the year. Hard to do when I can't stop adding to it!

GOAL for 2008: Do more Wild Releases. I was disappointed early on when my few wild releases were never heard from again, so I started instead to just send books as RABCKs to fellow bookcrossers. Turns out I am missing the fun of just setting a book free! So now I am working on upping those wild release numbers...wish me luck!

MY WISHLIST: a work-in-progress, I am compiling this more for myself to keep a list of books I'd like to read/purchase. Plus, don't all Bookcrossers have one? :) I just signed up for Cliffs so bear with me while I get around to adding titles (3/13/2008)
