I've got much more into Bookcrossing since a Little Free Library was installed near where I live. I'm reading more books as a result. I've also started acquiring books without a home to Bookcross.









Join UK Bookcrossers at the Newcastle Unconvention from 29th-31st July 2022

I read more non-fiction than I used to. During the pandemic I’ve had no commuting time to read and I have found it much harder to read anything depressing. I’ve read more chick lit (helps me get to sleep) and humorous travelogues and books about rewilding and connecting to nature. I like Regency romance. I don’t like horror. I read series in order after collecting the whole series. If you give me a non-wishlist book which is not the first in a series, I will probably release it without reading it. Mount TBR is already too high! If you send me a book I really don’t want to read I will do my best to find it an appreciative home or wild release it.

For Not so secret parcels, exchanges and Oppem's Birthday Group - I like:

wishlist books, my preference is for the chick lit books on my wishlist because they help me get to sleep and I get through them very quickly. I also pass them on to a friend who is also a poor sleeper and a friend who has health problems. They really appreciate them even if they don’t journal them and they put them on community bookshelves once they have finished with them.

I’ve recently found out that I have a poor blood sugar response and so I’m eating less sweet stuff. I’m trying to eat dark chocolate rather than milk and I prefer it with mint or fruit and or whole nuts. That way it has a smaller effect on my blood sugar. I’m trying not to eat sweets at all.

Marmite cashews or peanuts and other plain, salted and roasted nuts. I love macadamia nuts in any form, they are probably my favourite nut. I don’t like walnuts but my mum does so they’d never be wasted.

BC supplies (especially bookplates and envelope reuse labels) and wings extensions (please tell me because I can never remember when they are due to run out),

Chatty letters, and nice stamps to save for other Bookcrossers.

Plant a tree (virtually via a charity or in your garden) or some insect friendly plants and tell me about it. I have a virtual grove of trees you can donate to here treesforlife.org.uk/---/g7999/

Loose black tea (unflavoured) and non fruity caffeine-free herbal teas, especially mint tea. I drink a lot of Pukka teas - Three Mint, Three Ginger and Lemon Ginger and Manuka Honey. I drink ground coffee but never instant.

Donate to, or volunteer for, a literacy charity and tell me about it. Or donate to, or volunteer for, your favourite charity and tell me about it.

Donkey-themed gifts and I like the Moomins especially Snorkmaiden and Little My.

Pen refills (Parker compatible ballpoint/Rollerball blue or black ink),

Postcards and writing paper.

Eco-friendly, ethical, plastic-free and fair-trade things too.

My skin has become very sensitive so I only use very gentle natural products with essential oils

I don’t like:
fruit teas, green tea or flavoured black tea
balloons
Knick knacks or ornaments
Glitter, confetti, sequins, unless they are biodegradable

If you give me something which I’m not going to use, I will try my best to find it an appreciative home!
