 If PM's don't seem to be getting through, try my regular email at sarradee (at) gmail (dot) com After 3 years of voluntary unemployment I'll be returning to work in mid-June. I'll be at a referral animal clinic in the Internal Medicine dept and I'm really looking forward to being back to nursing again. We're also moving back to Dallas from Austin, and most of my books will still be in storage. I've been working hard to sort out bookcrossing books, and get them moving. I've done quite a bit of wild releasing at the Triumph Cafe where we hold the monthly Austin book crossing meeting. I'll miss all my Austin book crossing friends! My hobbies include reading, messing around on the computer, playing World of Warcraft (For the Horde!), reading, knitting, cross-stitch, reading and playing with my dogs. Did I mention reading? I've always been a reader, my favorite genres are science fiction, fantasy and horror. But I'll give almost anything a try, especially if it is recommended to me. I think life is too short to read books I don't like, so I go by the fifty page rule. If it hasn't captivated me by then, I put it down and move onto something else. Sometimes I'll try again, sometimes not. I also compulsively buy books, so Bookcrossing is both a blessing and a curse. I release and release, but I never seem to substantially reduce the TBR pile. My stats reflect that I spend a lot of time on Bookobsessed.com where they have old school relays, virtual bookboxes, swaps and all kinds of other games, and I also release books I've registered on paperbackswap, and bookmooch. I somewhat prefer that to wild releasing, since I know that the people I'm sending the books to will read and appreciate them, even if I never do get a journal entry. There's a thrill that comes with the truly wild release, but there's also the pang of knowing your beloved book might become part of a land fill. I don't generally release books that other people have registered on the trading sites, unless I received them from there, since I know some folks don't like the idea. I almost never remember to bring ready to release books with me, until after I get somewhere and think - "this would be a great release spot!" Truly Wild Catches Carrion Comfort at the Zoo The Horse Whisperer at Create-away-Cottage Sin City at Create-away-Cottage Goosebumps: Don't Go To Sleep at Scarborough Faire I'll Take Manhattan at Create-away-Cottage 1. Read Time Magazine's All Time 100 Novels  My Wish List (thanks to Cliff1976! ): My wishlist is constantly in flux, I use it to keep a record of everything I have an interest in reading. I refer to it when placing online book orders, print it out when I go to Half Price Books, and when checking out the library. While I honestly, sincerely and truly appreciate receiving RABCK's from my wishlist, and I promise that I will read and pass them on eventually, I really and truly have no expectation that by posting a wishlist I will receive anything from it from anyone other than myself (or a wishlist relay). My address is available on RABCK.com. As far as books registered by me, well, once they are out of my hands they no longer belong to me. So feel free to keep, read, trade, release, or do anything you like with them. It's all part of the journey.  Most rings will be passed along within two weeks of receipt. I read them in the order they arrive, and they will take precedence over trades.
