Recent Book Activity

When I list my hobbies, reading is always listed first. One of my mother's most repeated phrases when I was growing up was, "It's a beautiful day--put that book down and go outside." I did, but as often as not, I took the book with me! I'm one of those people who read cereal box labels if nothing else is handy!

I believe that one of our greatest national successes is that of having a library in almost every town! The world is a better place because the libraries allow us all to share books--and now, BookCrossing.com has added a new dimension to that.

Finally, I love hearing from BookCrossers. I have a standing offer to help any bookcrosser re-size an image for their profile page. You can send it as an attachment to me at wren at texaswren dot com. If you have a question, idea for my site, or want to share a birthday, pet, or recipe, send me a PM or an email. I look forward to hearing from you!


Concerning trades: I am willing to consider them, however, please don't be offended if I say no. Sometimes, I don't have the time or money to do it. Sometimes, I forget to make release notes, so a book may show up as available, when in reality, it was released. I never know until I search for the book. I am organizationally challenged. ;-)

Other than BookCrossing, the thing nearest and dearest to my heart is Hill County PawPals, a local grass-roots group trying to get an animal shelter built in our county. The only hope abandoned or stray animals have now is a very small, dedicated group of foster families. We are trying to raise the money to build a shelter and have a formal adoption program, along with space for our current spay/neuter clinic.
