Please note -- I'm preparing for a move from NM to FL, so currently, I am not looking to add new books to my shelves. Thank you for thinking of me, but at this time, it's not the best idea.
Hello fellow book junkies! I am an avid reader, and a huge horror fan. My reading tastes are varied, but most of the time, you will find me reading horror, LGBTQ fiction, and bizzaro/weird fiction.
I prefer to wild release my books after reading them, however from time to time the RABCK bug strikes and I just can't help myself. Also, if you have a good enough trade offer, I may be tempted.
A little about me, I'm 3i, live in Los Lunas, New Mexico for now, but as of June, will be living in Tampa, FL.
CruiseAddict is the love of my life, and, after over 18 years together, we recently became married (and are working to change the laws so our marriage can be recognized). We have a beautiful 8 year old
daughter, 2 cats, 3 dogs, a bunch of houseplants (another of my hobbies), and a few thousand books. When not working, reading, or Bookcrossing, I can most likely be found organizing for LGBTQ Equality. I am state lead
for New Mexico GetEQUAL. Bookcrossing is a family affair for us, aside from my partner, my
mother is a 'crosser, as is my
niece.
I'm all over the web, but most notably, you can connect with me at the following places:

Projects:
I love a good BC event or project! I have organized three biggies in my area so far.
In October 2007, we released hundreds of books at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta! See catches here!
In November 2007, we gave nearly 100 books to 4 Support, a local charity that distributes items to children in area hospitals. And in September 2008 I gave them an additional 169 books! I will be collecting and giving books to them on a semi-regular basis now.
In June 2008, we set up a Bookcrossing table at Albuquerque Pridefest! Had a great time, and managed to give away 173 books! See journal entries here!
