Welcome to my Bookshelf.

I JUST LOVE BOOKS!

I've always been a big reader and my earliest memories are of the books I was reading! I work as an admin assistant, so love to 'get away' from the mundane into the world of fiction. I also love horse-riding, and have two horses, Pepper and Smokey, who I love to compete with in showjumping, cross-country, dressage and showing. I have a dog too, a husky x collie called Mia that we got from the rescue home. I also love movies, science-fiction TV, writing to penpals (if you're interested, please PM, although I only do snail mail!), cross-stich, walking and chocolate in all it's varities!

A quick guide to how I run my bookshelf:
TBR - as it sounds. These are books that I haven't read yet. If you want to do a trade for one of these, then let me know and I will move it to the top of the pile. However, I can't guarentee that I won't decide to keep it after reading it, but you will be first choice if I decide to release.
AVL - these are books that I have no plans for and am willing to swap.
RES - these are books that I do have plans for, so I won't be swapping them unless the status changes.
PC - these are books that I plan to keep, at least for the foreseeable future. Some books will be with me forever, some I want to read at least one more time before they're released.
TRAV - anything no longer in my posession and yet to find a new home.
WISHLIST - this is not a begging list, but a way for me to record books I would like to read in the future.

If you do want to trade with me, then please PM. I will always swap for anything on my wishlist, but if you haven't got anything, then this is what I am in to.

Fiction = Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Gothic Romance, Animal, Historical, Thriller.

Non-fiction = Countryside and Nature, Animals, Ancient History, Science, Myths and Legends, Biographies.

But as long as it isn't already on my bookshelf, I'll give it a go.

So why not have a browse and lets get those books out there!
