Bookcrossing and me
I read about BookCrossing in a dutch magazine (Genoeg) in january 2004 and I instantly loved the idea! I still like it very much. However, I have a new job and try to finish my thesis and somehow there doesn't seem to be any time left for BC. So I haven't joined any Bookrings and I don't read the forums anymore. I'm still very fond of BookCrossing, and if anyone is interested in one of my books they are still welcome to send me a PM, but for now I'm investing less time in it than I used to.

About me
I'm studying History in Utrecht. Also I like to play volleybal, I love cooking (vegetarian and often organic) (and especially pies, cakes and cookies) and travelling. I'm very interested in politics.

Books and me
I like to read Fantasy and SF, I love children's books (Winnie-the-Pooh ofcourse being my favourite) and I enjoy reading all kinds of literary novels. Also I like to read travelbooks prior to a trip. I can read dutch, english, german and even some frisian and danish... However, I prefer dutch and english.
