A virtual bookshelf is so much easier to dust
Hi fellow Bookcrossers!
I'm a Dutch 'readfreak': I love reading and I'm a fanatic collector of books. I joined Bookcrossing in july 2004, because I found two books on the mailbox near my house! Over the past years I have become more and more addicted to Bookcrossing and my Mount TBR
has grown rapidly since then...
I read a lot of different styles: thrillers, chicklit, literature, a little bit of fantasy now and then....! I try to read at least two books a month but with my busy schedule that often turns out to be quite a challenge.
To conclude this little introduction of me, here one of my favorite sayings:
Live like there's no tomorrow
Love like you've never been hurt
Dance like noone's watching
And what is a bookcrossing-bookshelf without an inspiring quote from one of the most succesfull authors in the world:
"I want to be remembered as someone who did all she could with the talent she had"
J.K. Rowling
Books change people... people change the world
