"On bokes for to rede I me delyte." {Chaucer}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have always wanted to own a bookstore
that was set up like a private library in
one's home. It would have tons of books -
old, new & in-between, overstuffed
chairs, lots of old rockers, big, comfy
floor pillows, lots of windows with window
seats, a roaring fire in the stone fireplace
(in the winter), hot & cold beverages (inc.
mulled cider in the winter), "with-its," etc.
I have a great start on my own library & I
collect old books as well. I also like giving
books as gifts
- for toddlers on up
to the seniors that I
know. I love to write,
as well as read, & I
love word games/puzzles.
I have many interests,
but the top few all have to do with the Literary field.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I involve myself in a
number of BC challenges.
One that I am doing is
a personal International
Challenge.
I am trying to make a
contact with a
BookCrosser from each
country in which BC
has members. I would
like to have a book
from each country
in the native language
of that country. So
far, the countries
that have come through
for me are:
1.Bulgaria
Thank you, Mariyana, for your
friendship, for sending a
great book - for everything!
2.England
{although the book is
in English, it is a
British author, & is
published in Great
Britain}. Thank you,
LyzzyBee, for the book.
3.Finland
Thank you, DotDot, for your
help & sending the book.
4.France
Thank you to my friend,
NobodysPerfect, for being
a friend, for sending the
book, & for taking an
interest.
5.Netherlands
{in Dutch}. Thank you, Nrrdgrrl, for helping me out
with my Int'l Challenge. The
book was great!
6.Ireland
{in Gaelic}. Thank you to my friend, PeaceAngel, for all your help in acquiring
this book, as well as all the goodies you sent. Thank you for being a good friend
to me. You are the best!!
7.Germany
{in German}. Thank you,
Aleonblue, for the
children's book. I
appreciate your
contribution to my Int'l Challenge.

I am willing to
exchange any book I
have with one in
another language, so
I hope lots of BC'ers
see this & help me
out. If you have a
book for me, but you
don't see one on my
bookshelf that you'd
like in exchange, I
will be happy to try
to get any title for
you. BTW, it has to
be a book in the
native language by
an author from that
country, & must come
to me from that
country.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**BTW**
Anything I have on
my Available list
{on my Bookshelf}
is up for a trade
or whatever. Check
out my Mt. TBR as
well & don't
hesitate to ask
about those.
I.A.D....
Depends on what,
you say? Basically,
on the book itself
& how desperate I
am to read it or
have it around.

My Wish List:

"Nothing links man to
man like the frequent
passage from hand to
hand of a good book."
{Walter Sickers}

**"This is the day
that the Lord has made;
let us be glad & rejoice in it."

"IT IS BETTER TO FOLLOW EVEN THE
SHADOW OF THE BEST, THAN TO
REMAIN CONTENT WITH THE WORST;
AND THOSE WHO WOULD SEE
WONDERFUL THINGS, MUST
OFTEN BE READY TO TRAVEL ALONE!"
{Unknown Author}

**2007 UPDATE:
I have been so incredibly
busy that I have done
NOTHING on here for
months! Please forgive me
if I owe you a book or I
have not responded to a
message or something. I
am really going to try to
get my BookCrossing self
together this year! Don't
give up on me!
Please feel free to PM
me & I will try to answer
as quickly as I can.
God Bless you all!
Smiles & Sunshine!!
