Recent Book Activity

I've always had a love of fortune cookies. Not the cookies so much as the fortunes themselves. I've combined this with my love of books by saving these wonderful paper-thin slips of wisdom and pasting an occasionally appropriate one inside the cover of a book that originates with me or book I catch. I think it's a fun little bonus for subsequent readers and encourage everyone to respond in kind. If you feel like donating any number of fortune cookie fortunes to me, PM me and I'll let you know where to send them. I'd even happy to trade a book for them, if it's a substantial donation.

Check out my WISH LIST.
