Lesen, lesen und die Welt wird schöner
Ernst Hagen

People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.
Logan Pearsall Smith


Thanks to ti-ana's bookring about the flight of Tibetan children across the Himalaya to India Flucht über den Himalaya - Tibets Kinder auf dem Weg ins Exil I have been reminded that their struggle is not over, yet. So I am trying to gather books about Tibet (Facts and Fiction) to "spread the word" and get people informed about the situation there in the form of bookrings and -rays and wild releases. Hopefully more people will develop an interest in this topic by reading about it. So if you have books about Tibet (in English or German) and have no special plans for them I'll be glad to take them off your hands ;-)


My own current Bookrings, -rays and -boxes:
Bis zur letzten Stunde BookRing - still open to join
Die Rebellin der Rose BookRing - still open to join
Gestatten:Elite BookRing - still open to join
Oryx and Crake BookRing - still open to join

I'm trying to cut down on these so that I will eventually be able to actually reduce my Mt. TBR. Because my motivation to join BC had a lot to do with wanting to REDUCE the amount of books I have ;-))


Currently Reading
Nur den Horizont im Blick
So zärtlich war Suleyken von Sigfried Lenz

If you are interested in any of my books marked "available" just send me a PM and we'll work something out. For books marked "to be read" you can send a PM as well and I will move it to the top of Mt. TBR.
