Hello fellow book junkies! I am an avid reader, and a huge horror fan. My reading tastes are varied, but most of the time, you will find me reading horror, GLBTQ fiction, and bizzaro/weird fiction.

I prefer to wild release my books after reading them, however from time to time the RABCK bug strikes and I just can't help myself. Also, if you have a good enough trade offer, I may be tempted.


A little about me, I'm 34, live in Los Lunas, New Mexico. CruiseAddict is the love of my life, and, after nearly 18 years together, we recently became married. We have a beautiful 8 year old daughter, a wonderfully bright 11 year old niece who lives with us, 2 cats, 3 dogs, a bunch of houseplants (another of my hobbies), and a few thousand books. When not working, reading, or Bookcrossing, I can most likely be found organizing for LGBTQ Equality. I am state lead for New Mexico GetEQUAL. Bookcrossing is a family affair for us, aside from my partner, my mother is a 'crosser. Check out my website for some fun bookcrossing info both local and other stuff about me, including my aspirations as an author!



We currently have three OBCZs in Albuquerque! I maintain one at Satellite Coffee-Nob Hill, labmomnm maintains one at Flying Star-Menaul, and squidgete maintains one at Flying Star-Juan Tabo!




And, if you have a sense of humor, check out my Runaway Bride Releases at the 7-11 where she made her 9-1-1 call!






I am currently reading Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos

Projects:

I love a good BC event or project! I have organized three biggies in my area so far.

In October 2007, we released hundreds of books at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta! See catches here!

In November 2007, we gave nearly 100 books to 4 Support, a local charity that distributes items to children in area hospitals. And in September 2008 I gave them an additional 169 books! I will be collecting and giving books to them on a semi-regular basis now.

In June 2008, we set up a Bookcrossing table at Albuquerque Pridefest! Had a great time, and managed to give away 173 books! See journal entries here!
