Recent Book Activity

Warning! I'll be moving house by the end of January 2012, if you're not sure a book will arrive in time, please wait a bit before sending it.

Hello everyone!

My name is Marcella, I'm a 26 year old dutchie, currently living in London.

So I just typed a whole story about me, but it didn't save. Maybe it's a good thing, because I tend to ramble on.

Because the holiday season is coming closer and i'm participating in various exchange schemes, I decided to put a little wishlist on my profile.

These things guarantee a smile on my face:
- Chocolate. Ofcourse. I love trying new and interesting flavours. Recently tried sea-salted chocolate, which was yum! But a good quality milk chocolate is great too!
- Tea. What is not to like? I prefer black over green or fruit teas.
- Wishlist books. My taste in books is pretty eclectic, I don't really have a favourite genre. I'm working my way trough the 1001 you must read before you die list, so those are always good. But mostly I like books that are your own favourites. Hey, if at least one person loves it, it must be worth a try.
- Anything handmade. I love handmade gifts! I'm always amazed by the creativity of bookcrossers.


My birthday buddies are:
Releanna, February 25th
lamelemon, March 12th

I didn't give myself any reading goals this year, I just want to read whatever I want when I want and enjoy it.

For a release challenge I've joined the 52 towns in 52 weeks challenge this year, and I've added myself a subchallenge of releasing a book in every London borough.
