My userpic shows you what I'm reading right now :-)

I'm new to BookCrossing (March 2008) and am definitely open to trades from my "available" books.

I'm still kinda nervous about wild releasing books! I was brought up to take very good care of books, so the whole "what if" thing about the book getting destroyed, etc, is getting to me at the moment!

2008 - My Wild Releases

1 - The Easy Care Gardening Expert - Dr D G Hessayon - Journal here - caught and journal entried :-) Can't believe my first ever wild release was so successful, and so quickly, too!!!

I list my bookrings at The Bookring Directory!

In the lists below:-

Bold means I've yet to receive the book
Bold Italics means the book is in my possession
Bold Underlined Italics means I've sent the book to the next recipient
