Recent Book Activity

I am a registered nurse. I love to read and just found out about bookcrossing in October 2007. Someone left a bookmark on my kitchen cabinet while I was on vacation. I still don't know who cause they won't "fess up". Now I'm hooked. One of my daughters is also an avid reader and she has joined the fun. When I'm not working or reading, I like to spend time at the local animal shelter, socializing cats (that's petting and snuggling the cats). I have three cats of my own; Stu, Monster and Frankie.

I have really enjoyed catching books and setting them free. I like to read everything before I let it go, so sometimes it takes a while for my books to get back into the wild. I just got brave enough to sign up for some of the challenges and am having fun with that. I love the idea of RABCK. What a Great way to release books. I love rabck.com. It makes it so easy to share a surprise with someone else. So everyone make sure to sign up! If I have a book you want to read just let me know.

I love surprises. I can only read English, much to my dismay.
