Just like most people over here I’ve always loved reading and I’m never without books. One of my friends has introduced me to Bookcrossing and I’m very grateful for that because this is just a great place to be. And eventhough I’ve been lurking in the background for quite a while before becoming more active, I’m really enjoying the concept of sharing books.

I read just about anything but to make a small summary... the 'HHRC-favorite-genre-rule'. :-) Horror (Richard Laymon), Humor (Tom Sharpe), Romance (Nicholas Sparks) and Chicklit (Marian Keyes). Barbara Kingsolver and Clive Cussler have also become two of my favorites during the last few years.
I tend to read in English (except for some non-fiction) eventhough my mothertongue is Dutch.

Reading is not my only hobby though. I also love to write letters and postcards (I collect them - www.postcrossing.com is a great website). I enjoy walking and cycling, watching films (DVD's at home, going to the movies) and listening to music (the radio is almost always turned on, as I don't have a TV). Last but not least, I adore animals and nature... and being a vegetarian. :-)

Back to books... I’m always interested in trading. So if there’s anything on my bookshelf that might interest you, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m willing to ship anywhere.

As you might have noticed, I don't often release books into the wild. Books that I send to other people (trade, ring/ray, RABCK, Bookmooch) will never be journaled as 'released in the wild' but as 'controlled release' instead (great invention by the way!).
