**The books on my shelf do not necessarily reflect my reading tastes or interests...I find and release books of most genres. If you are interested in a book on my shelf, I would be glad to trade with you for something from my book wish list. If you do not have a book to trade then please offer to pay shipping or offer something to trade from my non-book wishlist below.

I'm Sarah Coller, aka Elizardbreath. I received that lovely moniker from my mom when I was about 7, as a play on my middle name, Elizabeth. I'm the mother of 9 little sweeties aged 13 down to newborn--5 girls, 4 boys. My husband and I homeschool our children---a responsibility that is mainly mine since he works full time. I love to write and have a successful blog that I maintain. If anyone is interested in checking it out, the link is above. I love Jesus and try to live my life according to the teachings of the Bible. I learned about BookCrossing from my cousin, gomboggit. She has proven to be a great friend and superb BookCrossing buddy! For the past 6 years that I've been a member, I have formed wonderful friendships, experienced literature that I never would have picked up before, and learned a lot about the world outside of Eastern Oregon.
