Hi, I'm Pam, a book lover (and book collector) from waaaaaay back. Both my father and my Grandfather had extensive libraries, and altho I tend to collect different things, I've got quite a library of my own, though it is small by father and grandfather’s standards, is still quite a lot of books (something people who helped move me the last time reminded me of as they lift box after box of books onto the truck). My friend who built my bookshelves and helped with the last move claims I had 141 linear feet of books (and that was 11 years ago, so I've run out of shelf space since then and will soon have to commission more shelves).

While I LOVE the BookCrosser concept, I won't let go of my own books, but I WILL get doubles and release those!

While I've made many attempts to cull my library, they've NEVER resulted in me letting go of more than a few plastic grocery bags worth of books, thus NOT solving my space problems at all, because the only books I can let go of are those I've NEVER re-read, and never wanted to. Of course, that does beg the question: why did I keep them in the first place? Of course, there haven't been that many, at least compared the number of books sitting on my shelves.

Please click on My Wish List if you'd like to see all the books I'd LOVE to read next (and my motto, like so many others, is that there can NEVER be enough books).
