Recent Book Activity

I joined Bookcrossing because my daughter bookstogive, is enjoying this group very much. I wanted to join the fun. Books going out and books coming in and lots & lots of book to read. And to top it off, being able to share these books. Kind of like the icing on the cake. YUM!!

I enjoy reading mystery/thrillers, romance, historical romance, cook books, biographies, and just plain GOOD stories.

My favorite colors are yellow and blue. My favorite food is a good old fashion hamburger. I like going on vacation, and just driving around Tennessee or upper Michigan. I like watching the birds outside my kitchen window, and the pesky little squirrels. I enjoy classic country music. I like George Jones, Merle Haggard, & Dolly Parton. I love to cook, especially, casseroles and stir fry dishes and I like to make omelets. I'd like to read 1 more book in a year than svoight.

MY NON-BOOK WISH LIST:
Any bookcrossing stickers, labels, handmade are great!
Bookcrossing wings
Anything Cardinal
