Recent Book Activity

Today (Dec 27, 2011 ) is my eighth anniversery at Bookcrossing. I have certainly enjoyed all the site has to offer and more. I like doing the challenges, reading the forums, sharing in peoples lives. Because of bookcrossing, I have read books that I would not have picked up otherwise, and read new authors. My hopes for this next year are to share more books, mainly by releasing. I hope to find a way to increase my journal entries, but we all know that is just luck whether or not they make one. The picture on my profile at the moment is of my dachshund/beagle mix Luke. He's very special to me, and will be turning 14 this next February. I am glad he came into my life.

I usually only register books that I am planning to wild-release at some point, nothing from my PC. The books on my shelf do not really reflect my taste in reading, as some were used just for challenges and never read.
Due to cost-prohibitive s/h, I am sorry to say that at this time I must restrict any trading to the United States. Sorry for any inconvience.

I am registered at RABCK.com


I love my grandkids:Keygan, Tyler, Devin, Tahtiana, Cheyenne, Tayzia, Ellie and Tyler S.
