Ring/ray/wishlist people: please note I am currently spending summer in Finland, and will be back to the UK in September 2012.

Feb 27TH 2011 UPDATE:
Had my screen name changed to Pontmercy. I was formerly known here as Yet-So-Tiny, or Tiny. There's heck loads of wild realeased books with this old screen name, so don't be fooled! Old screen name will be missed, but the real little me is still the same nutter as always! :)


Hello darling bookcrossers!

Tiny's back in town and about to do some serious bookcrossing! Yay! :)
Feel free to contact me about books and stuff, but please be aware that I'm on a tight student budget, and can't send overseas nearly as often as I'd like to. Doesn't hurt to ask though! Times change, and in my life they seem to do it fairly often. :)

ABOUT MY SHELF:
The books registered here don't necessarily reflect my taste in books. Many of them were given to me in manner of bookcrossing, but without the BC IDs they've got now. I'm looking into getting them rotating no matter what their current status is, but my permanent collection - though also subject to change - is more often exactly just that.
Now, I'm not the most organised person on the planet, I don't always know where my books are, and if they're travelling or not. But I will find out. Eventually! Please forgive me if I've forgotten to answer pms. It's rarely nothing personal, and more often just some silly private crisis - and usually over nothing at that.
I try to keep my self and my books moving.

My real taste in books varies. At the moment I'm reading and enjoying Michael Cunningham, Virginia Woolf and Anna Gavalda. Got a new Paulo Coelho from the library waiting the first free lazy Sunday moment just for myself.
Roald Dahl was my childhood's first literary love, and I still enjoy his delicious, bittersweetly clever sense of humour immensely. In 2009 Haruki Murakami did the trick, as did the more profound Great Gatsby and alike. I enjoy a little poetry too, but my latest hype has been comics! Tank Girl's a personal heroine, and Marjane Satrapi's funny stories of the lives of Iranian women have been so refreshing!

I made "if you were a book that ruined my life"-test, here's the result:

take the WHAT BAD BOOK ARE YOU test.


and go to mewing.net. not as good as reading a good book, but way better than a bad one.


Sadly I think it's quite accurate.

In 2008 I got winged 3 times (bless you, three times!) - once for an entire year - and once in 2010. It has been really amazing to log on to see new wings. I've been incredibly touched by the random acts of kindness on BC, and seriously think some of you are the best kind of people I know, and probably ever will.
