Recent Book Activity

My wife, JennyC1230, got me involved with Bookcrossing.com. Needless to say, I think this is a GREAT site. I've told several of my friends about it and hopefully, they'll have as much fun as we have here. I've wondered for years what to do with the books on my shelves that I have read and never intended to read again...now I have an outlet to share them with others!


My favorite books are Mystery/Thrillers, but basically I'll read just about anything.



Reading right now: The Sanctuary -- Raymond Khoury


Most of the books below without a link are from the booksfree.com site. They aren't free, but it's a great site to "rent" paperbacks. It's like Netflix for books.
