I was born in 1971 in North London, Uk.

I have always been an avid reader and usually have an appropriate title to recommend or loan to friends and loved ones but always felt a physical connection to "my" books. The thought of letting them go would never have crossed my mind a year or so ago.

I have only recently accepted that life can go on after a book has gone. I am totally enjoying the thrill of releasing "my precious ones", either in the wild or by controlled releases and also telling people about this place.

Book crossing has been like the final stages of therapy for me. Having registered books here, I feel far more able to "let them go". (My husband thanks you, Bookcrossing.com!)

It has also proved to be a fantastic resource - I've been able to find the details of a book I've been searching for for years, simply by describing it on the forum and someone answered the same day with full details (Bless you).

Can't wait to see my released babies start really circulating - happy travels, babies :-)
