**** Have been off site for a while and now am back- trying to update my bookshelf as it's so out of date! ***


Have been on the site for a couple of years, and I absolutely love it! Have 'met' some lovely people so far, and it's cool to chat to people who share my book addiction!

So far my book reading quota has gone up, and so has my book buying (oops!).

I have already sent many RABCKs to various people both here and overseas, and have been lucky enough to receive a few too :0), and have even managed to get a wild release caught...it's addictive!

I've also joined a few rings,rays and also the Birthday RABCK- my buddy for this in 2005 was Mokona in USA who shares the exact same birthdate as me!!! And for 2006 it was Tho in Portugal whose birthday is Sept 2nd :0)
