I moved to Las Vegas mid-November 2012. If you are in the Las Vegas area and want to meet up, send me a PM. I'd love to meet other locals and/or visitors.
I am the proud mom of a little girl. Evelyne Grace was born on Aug 5th, 2011 weighing 9 lbs 2 oz and was 21 1/4 inches long. I am enjoying being a stay-at-home mom and watching all of her milestones.
Aside from reading and bookcrossing, I'm interested in horses, traveling (the more exotic the better), penpalling, crochet, letting writing, watching movies and more.
For the time being, I will only send out books in exchange for postage or a book off of my wishlist.
My bookshelf doesn't reflect my reading tastes, as I purchase a lot of books just to release. Also, I can't help my long wishlist. I keep hearing about these amazing books so I add them. I don't expect to get any of them, but if I do, I'm always surprised.
Only reference books (like koi manuals) would go in my permanent collection. The rest will move on once I've finished them. I try to bump the bookcrossed books ahead of the others in my to be read pile.
