I am a book fanatic, I just love reading! I've made it a practice to give my books away, so when I heard about Bookcrossing it was perfect......I can't logically see why books should just sit around on shelves gathering dust. To me it is wasteful, I believe
in recycling them!
I have been an avid reader since I was 6, Libraries were my wonderland! I love to read just for the sheer joy of reading, and read mainly to be entertained... My shelf here doesn't really reflect my reading taste, because I buy cheap used books, such as at
yard sales, and friends give me books to give away.
If you scroll down you will find my wishlist, any bookrings I may have currently active, and lists of my favorite books....
If you find one of my released books and decide to join us, please mention that I referred you, thanks!
