I stumbled across this website through a link on a library webpage. It was on a lark that I clicked on it. One of those things you do when it's late and your spouse has already gone to bed, but you're not quite ready to and are looking to fill the time.
In other words, time when you should be reading, but eureka what a find.
I am a book lover from way back, a love instilled by my fabulous mother, and I seek used book stores each place we move. The concept of bookcrossing is so much better than a used book store. I have often wondered where those used books have been before me and
where they go after me and now I can know. So, that is why I am here, doing my best to read the books I release and discovering a renewed vigor in my reading.
