"When you give someone a book, you don't give him just paper, ink, and glue. You give him the possibility of a whole new life."

By Christopher Morley, Novelist, Journalist and Poet

"We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about."

By Albert Einstein

Hello all.  My name is Tina and I am a non-recovering read-aholic.

I love reading!!!  My parents fostered a love of reading for my siblings and I at a young age by not having any TV's in the house.  We were taken to the library at least once a week or more, and were encouraged to go there on our own after school.

For birthdays and Christmas you always received books as gifts.  My favorite, that I still have, is the Laura Ingalls' Little House on the Prairie series.  I read those over and over as a child.

Due to my parents molding of my young mind, I rarely watch TV.  I prefer reading.  Plus books have the added bonus of having no commercials.

I tend to get rid of books immediately after reading them by either checking the "Wish List", or by setting them free somewhere.  However, if there is an available book listed that you'd like to read, PM me and I'll be more than happy to make a trade with you. 

If I haven't responded to your request within five days, please assume that I never received it.  In that case, please email me directly at surmisez(at)charter(dot)net.

Books on my TBR list are also available for trade.  I will read the book you would like next and then send it to you.
