Recent Book Activity

I love books and for years hoarded them in my bookcase. Thanks to bookcrossing I have learned to share them (if you love them set them free) though I admit I hold on to my favourites.

I am open to exchanges, so if I have anything you may want, do drop me a line and hopefully I'll be able to help out. I especially enjoy reading travel books, biographies and general literature. My favourite authors include Alexander McCall Smith, Marina Lewycka, Joanne Harris, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Will Randall, Robert J. Sawyer. Some of my favourite books are Making History by Stephen Fry, The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, English Passengers by Mathew Kneale, Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman, The Legend of Colton H. Bryant by Alexandra Fuller.

I read books in Finnish and English.
