Extended Profile

Last updated: 5/16/11

Welcome!

NOTE: I am only able to trade books marked Available for postage costs at this time, due to finances. Sorry.

A Little Bit About Me..

My name is April (no that is not the month I was born), I was actually a Christmas baby (sort of) born in December on the Winter Solstice on the 21st. That makes me a Saggitarius/Capricorn depending on which horoscope you consult.. lol

I am 25 years old and currently on an extended hiatus from college due to health problems. I hope to return at a later date - as soon as I can!

I have some hobbies like reading (yeah, really!), blogging (xanga, blogspot), hanging out on nookboards, Amazon.com and BookCrossing, goodreads.com, doing puzzles and other various craft projects.

Some of my favorite authors are:

Barbara Kingsolver, John Grisham, Dean Koontz, J.K. Rowling, Roald Dahl, Dan Brown, James Rollins, Anne Rice, Kathy Reichs, Elizabeth Kostova, Jim Butcher, Josephine Tey...

A couple of my favorite quotes:

"Those who wish to sing always find a song." ~ Proverb quote

"Every day holds the possibility of a miracle." ~ Elizabeth David
