Well, I guess it's obvious that I love to read, otherwise I wouldn't have registered here. The types of books I read depends on my mood and the season. For example; romances are great when I'm stressed, or don't have much time (fast reading). I'm not much on horror, non-fiction, or westerns, but these have their exceptions.

I think I like to buy books as much, if not more, than I like to read them. It's like Christmas when I was a kid. I would get so anxious for Christmas morning to see what gifts Santa had brought. I'm like this with each new book I buy, anxious to find out what's inside them.

I like to use Bookcrossing as a reference tool to help me pick out the next book I'm going to buy/read. I love to read everyone's journals on books. I don't get too indepth with my journals, but I try to give a reason for my ratings. I also like to read about books that I have read. It's fun to compare notes. It's amazing how one person will hate a book and the next will love it.

There are books on my bookshelf that I'm not willing to part with just yet. For instance, ones that I haven't read are not up for trade, but I don't mind keeping a waiting list for these. There are a few others, but I will put a journal entry letting it be known which ones I'm keeping.
