Recent Book Activity

My TBR and PC shelves are the best indication of books the I like - my Availables additionally come from Freecycle.com and charity book sales. Having read a lot of fantasy authors previously, I read more crime/thriller/mystery books these days, although I'm very open to books and authors that are recommended to me. About the only thing I regularly stear clear of are romance or biographies!

I am quite willing to lend books from either my Permanent Collection or Mount ToBeRead, on the understanding that they are taken care of, enjoyed, and returned home to me - which is the same consideration I would give to any books lent to me!
