NOTE: I'm trying very hard lately not to join any rings/rays unless absolutely "necessary", although I have been known to fall off the wagon here & there, so to speak. If I just joined your ring/ray & you happen to be reading this on my bookshelf, please give me a gentle kick in the butt & remind me of this. :')

Of course it goes without saying that I love to read, but I never seem to have as much time to do so as I'd like. I try my best though, and I have to admit that it's quite motivating (and fun!) to have a book (or three) arrive in my mailbox from all the other great BookCrossers out there. Thanks, everybody!

Like many of my fellow BookCrossers, my home is now overcome with books. I can fully credit BookCrossing for turning a hobby into an obsession, but I'm not complaining (though hubby is a different story). I love library sales, garage sales, Goodwill, & Half Price Books, so a lot of my books originated at one of those destinations. Paperbackswap.com is also a culprit for my ever-increasing library, most particularly my audiobook collection.

I'm starting to limit my trades, or at least be more selective, because I can't keep up with my ever-growing Mt. TBR. It never hurts to ask me, though! I also make BOOKSTRINGS, so I'd be more than happy to trade a BOOKSTRING for one of my wishlist books!

Wanting to try a new author, but not sure which book to start with? Check out DebbiesIdea.com

***I keep my BC wishlist pretty up-to-date. You can also find it HERE at Cliff's. (thanks, Cliff!)

(and yes, my info is current on RABCK.com!)
